Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Electric heaters

Upon doing research for winter sites in the south, I have found many places do not allow electric heaters or electric blankets even though they are 30/50 amp sites. Does anyone know if this applies to people who stay monthly and pay their own electric as well?

I maybe should not respond but I was told if you have a fire caused by what is prohibited that you best have a large insurance policy for damages caused by them. The fire department investigators are quite intelligent as to what caused the fire.
Also who will become upset if all the power goes out cause rvers overload the circuit??? Every one will be upset because it takes so long to replace all the burned up wiring service in the campground. And it most likely will happen during the coldest time of the year!
The monies I saved on propane just went out the window as this will be my only alternative heat source unless I move.
Just a thought to be considerate that most rules are placed there for a reason.

PIEERE, I'm not going to disagree with you at all, but it seems strange that if you're in most campgrounds where you pay for the electric yourself, heaters are allowed.  I understand what you're saying about fires and inferior wiring, but if they're going to charge you for a 30 or 50 amp site, I think that they should be able to provide it no matter how many campers are using close to the full amperage they've paid for.

Just an opinion from someone who thinks that he should get what he's paying for.

Jim
