| The heater works on 12 volts DC. Should work anytime the propane is turned on and a charged battery. |

No, but if you have 110 a better option might be a small electric heater anyway. You're probably paying for the electricity whether you use it or not and an electric heater is a lot quieter than the rpod furnace. TT ------------- 2010 176 FJ Cruiser |

We use a Vornado. It's a heater and a fan. Keeps us toasty. ------------- Chuck & Lyn Izzy, Morkie. RIP Zoe Joy & Gracie, Yorkie 2018 R Pod 190 2019 Traverse In moments of adversity;when life's a total wreck, I think of those worse off than me and really feel like heck. |

agreed-if you are plugged in, use a small electric cube heater. they are available at all of the home improvement and big box stores for under $30. Make sure thaey have a tip-proof shut off and a thermostat of some type. The tip proof will automatically turn it off if it is turned over. The thermostat will help regulate the heat-turning it on and off as needed for a set point. Usually the set points are not temperatures, but 1-2-3, etc. After working with it, you will know what number is best depending on exterior temp.
