The Cheap Heat auxiliary electric heating kit is now available to end users for self or aftermarket installation.
For those that have it, do you know or did you choose which wattage rating was used?
The lowest setting is 1800 watts and will work on a 120, 30 amp circuit.
The next 2 settings use 120/240 and would require using the RV's 50 amp power input to work.
Briefly looking at the installation guides it looks like there are 3 coils in the heater, you are choosing 1, 2 or all 3 coils based on how you wire it.
If you have the 1800 watt option, does it provide sufficient heat?
If you have one of the other two options, can you use it with an onboard Onan generator? The Onan RV genny does not output 240.
