Ideally the incoming voltage would be between 115 and 120 volts. But I have found that something less to be a bit common in RV parks. The 113 volts you had is not too low to safely operate your appliances. It dropped to 110 volts due to the load of the heater. At 110 volts, your heater is drawing 13.6 amps, which is pushing the limit of the circuit breaker, but should provide the full 1500 watts of heat. If the heater doesn't have a fan, my guess is that the heat is not moving adequatly throughout the unit. At 30 degrees outside, I believe it's time to turn on the furnace. :-)
