Heater Outlet

In some cases the interior GFCI on our 2955RL would trip whenever our ceramic space heater was plugged in and something else was turned on. After running some current checks I decided to wire in a separate convenience outlet esecially for the heater. I placed it on the lower front wall to the right of the steps leading to the bedrrom. The other end of this outlet was routed into the front storage compartment with a male jack mounted onto the front wall opposite the battery case. Whenever we need the heater we plug in a heavy duty extension cord to a campground 20A outlet, insert it into the male jack in the storage compartment and we are good to go. No more triping the GFCI or worrying about an excessive current draw.
