Tonight I will definitely have a space heater. Thanks for the responses.

Your Tiffin Wayfarer is most likely a 30amp rig.
A typical electric space heater that you plug in to your electrical outlet can only be a maximum of 15amps, regardless of what style. Therefore, in your rig, that only leaves you 15amps for the rest of your rig to use.
For example you might exceed your total draw by using a toaster, or a hairdryer, or a coffee machine, or even your onboard electric water heater at the same time. Remember, your onboard converter is always monitoring and charging your batteries while you’re plugged in also.
Big rule to remember…..NO MORE THAN ONE of the above mentioned appliances AT THE SAME TIME!
Anytime you’re plugged into shore power, and you have ANYTHING plugged into an electrical outlet, your total maximum is 30amps.
