You have 30 amps. Add up your current draw. You should be fine.

Current Draw of various appliances

One other thing to keep in mind is many RV appliances require more amps to start the appliance than they do to run the appliance. A roof air conditioner can draw 16 amps to start, but may only use 13 amps once it is running.

I do it all the time! Well actually we run an electric heater and two after market electric matress pad heaters. We have never blown a circuit breaker.
If we would, I'd just flip the breaker, and take it as a lesson learned.

Elect heater / elect blanket

Thanks for the info, we will use both this weekend. Here in south Louisiana we don’t get temp’s in the 20’s that often. We have had snow already this year. We will be celebrating the new year at Reunion lake resort campground in Robert La.

we run four electric blankets and the electric heat strips in the AC. The blankets should show the wattage.

You have 30 amps but probably only 15 or 20 on any given circuit. Add the draw from the heater and the blanket and see where you are. If its spread over 2 circuits you will be fine. All on the same circuit maybe not.
