I have a Razor, and just wanted to know the power requirements for running the heater. I currently have it hooked up to 120 from the house, wasn't sure if that was enough. I'd like to leave the furnace on to keep the camper warmer on these cold nights.

If your using the furnance, it uses 12 volt and propane, so a 15 amp extension cord is plenty to keep the converter running.

if you are using an electric heater, then a heavier gage code might be advised becaues the electric heaters can pull a lot of amps.

BozRazor, if your furnace is LP, then you only need 12 volts to run it. Your converter, if plugged in to 120v should take care of it.

if you are using the furnace, keep in mind that on those really cold nights it will use a lot of propane.
