2018 jayco 38BHDS fireplace option

Anyone out there that can help? CI have a 2018 jayco 38BHDS , the breaker box has a slot for fireplace breaker (option) I’ve called jayco manufacture and they claim my unit is “pre wired” for the furrion fireplace that would go right under the main Tv the only outlet I see is on a Utility breaker that is daisy chained off to another outlet believed to be in the bunk room right behind it any clue how to wire this or would I just need to run a new wire and outlet ?

I have a 2018 29.5 bhds eagle ht. My fireplace runs off a dedicated circuit under the tv. It has a single outlet in the box.

I’ve done some research and that’s what I’ve come across my unit should also have a dedicated outlet but the one I found is tied into the (Utility) breaker that will cut out about 6 outlets from tv to front bunks and dining I’ve pulled panels where the fireplace would initially be installed if I requested that option but don’t see any other outlet or spare wires I’m guessing I’ll have to run a 12-3 electrical wire and add the breaker in the a Slot for the fireplace

Yes you probably will have to add it. I know when you have the fireplace option they require the 50 amp service option as well. Those fireplaces draw quite a few amps.

Yea I guess I’ll have to do that. This unit is 50amp I just figured adding the fireplace wouldn’t take up space since I don’t really use the cabinets under the tv instead of using a small space heater even then I’d like to use a dedicated breaker even for a small space heater. After moving out here in east tx my propane tanks lasted almost a year and few months it was to hot in west text to worry about a heater haha anyway thanks for replying to the post
