My 1500 watt space heater draws 12.5 amps. I have recently become concerned on drawing this amount of current through the kind of duplex receptacles used in trailers because they are definitely sub-standard compared to the residential duplex receptacles. With the amount vibration going down the road, I'm wondering about the possibility of constantly deteriorating conductivity (increased resistance) with the push-in type wire terminals. Could this be an Issue??
Because of the placement of the receptacles in my reflection, I don't feel it would be possible to change out to residential grade receptacles, but I'd sure like to have the ones with the screw terminals vs. the push-in type found in RV's. Am I just fabricating a non-existent problem here?
