Can I heat my coach using the diesel side of the Oasis on a 15 amp circuit?

I'm not able to run the generator. I'm not sure what is 12 volt D.C. and what is 120 volt A.C.

The fans at the registers, circulating pumps, thermostat, inverter and anything else will be running off of or will be charged by the one single 15 amp circuit.

Thanks in advance
Ernie

Pretty sure, the only 120 volt required is for the electric element, everything else is 12 volt. It will run off your batteries if you are not plugged in.

Yes you can. Turn off your electric burner (ac 1 and ac 2) and turn burner on.
Make sure your progressive panel shows 15amp, by selecting the "select" option. It will default to 20amp

Power management will take over making sure the charger doesn't exceed available power amperage.

Thanks guys, I forgot to mention I would be on diesel only.

With the electric element(s) off they will run entirely off the diesel and your batteries. No problem.

Your Oasis can run on diesel with no 110 volt power, (boondocking). Everything would be running off of your batteries. Having the 15 amp 110 volt power will be good to run your battery charger and keep your batteries up.

We've camped a couple of times in the same situation. The 110 volts (15 amps) was just enough to keep the refer running, batteries charged and other small items running.
