AC Outlet Wiriing Diagram

I would run a second #12 25ft extension to the power pedestal for the second heater . Two heaters at 25A total leaves you little margin for anything else. It is unlikely you would be running two heaters, and nothing else ( WH, u-Wave, converter, TV etc) When not running a second heater, I run that cord to my Picnic table to run coffee maker etc outside.

If not, it would be difficult to add the wiring, since snaking it through the walls would be nearly impossible. But I don't think that was your real question.

I'm going to have to check to see if my TM has the microwave circuit w/breaker installed.

We've run two electric heaters (Holmes 1000/1500 watt), the fridge and an LCD TV at the same time and have never tripped a breaker on the TM or on the CG pedestal.

When it's cold enough to require two heaters (I think our record was 14 degrees), we put one of the heaters where the optional microwave tray/drawer would go and aim it towards the back bed and put the other in front by the dinnette seat next to the fridge.

Thanks. Its is good to know that I can easily install another breaker and perhaps connect it to the outlet by the converter. I went ahead and bought a 12 gauge 25 ft heavy duty extension cord and used the simple method of just plugging in this cord into the RV box outside the trailer and ran 2 heaters that way. With the temperature dropping to about 5 deg C or 41 deg F, I could bring the trailer up to 70 deg F in about 10 minutes which worked quite well. I simply brought the extension cord in between the gap between the lower and upper walls and under the vinyl velcrowed flap. When I get sometime in the summer with nothing to do I may look into what you suggested. It is good advice anyway.
