will this device power a small electric heater for camping purposes?

Probably not. Mine is close to 10 years old and still works great but its designed to supply 150 watts. I imagine your heater would use more and trip the breaker on the PV150. You would need to get a heater then buy an inverter with enough watt output to run it.

Every AC to DC converter, including this one has a WATT rating stated prominently in advertisements and on the package. If your heater is BELOW that WATT rating (and all heaters have them) it should work. Be AWARE, that if you want to power lights or other items as well as the heater, you will have to ADD UP THE WATTAGE of all items and buy a Converter rated for that higher total. (It's also a safety measure to buy any electrical device rated at least slightly higher than the TOTAL Wattage load you might place on it... prevents overheating, blowing fuses and burning out the Converter and/or devices plugged into it.)

NO. Watt rating for an appliance is the same regardless of voltage. A 1500 watt (typical) portable heater requires 10X more energy than this device will handle. TIP: don't expect miracles from devices like this. This one would be good for a laptop, or some lighting, etc. And higher capacity units like this for higher demands, require bigger battery banks. Also assume just 90% efficiency. Do a little more research.

No it will not. It will power a tv dvd player and one space heater and frig.

I'm really not sure....my purpose for it is to connect my 30 amp camper service to the garage by way of an extension cord....sorry I couldn't be more helpful in your situation.....

As long as the propane heater is self ignited you should be fine. I merely turns the power on and off to what ever is plugged into it.

Yes, but only half your camper would be powered. Campers with 50amp plus is really 2 times 25amps with half the stuff connected to each. If you have 2 airs one will work. I have the plug above - only been able to use it a few rare times. Most parks that have a 30 and 15/20 the standard 15 has gfi - ground fault - that makes this plug useless. In places where you find 2 30's with in range - with an adaptor - this plug very useful.

It would if the wattage requirements of the machine was less than the output of the inverter and you had a deep cycle battery of sufficient capacity. The battery might be a bit cumbersome to carry very far for camping purposes. For safety reasons, you might want to leave the battery and inverter sheltered outside the tent and use an extension cord.

Honestly, it would depend on how cold it is. It looks more powerful than it is, but it could work. It would have to be close to you to be effective. I would check out propane heaters for tent use instead.

Don't think so. I think it just sends an on off to the relay which switches the heater on/off

Probably not. It's not a voltage converter & is better for small things. I plugged in my heating pad & it blew the circuit & my heating pad.

Yes it would, but I'd be cautious about putting it into a camper. It's set for outside heating, and inside it could get too hot. it doesnt have a sensor on it to detect if things are getting too hot so if you left it on overnight you might get a fire.....

As long as it is 12volts and provides the required amps, which is stated in sellars description. I use a car battery for mine when I camp. Works fine.

Yes it will but a heater will deplete the power much faster than any other device

I will if it draws less than two amps. The device has two ports: one 1-amp, and the other 2-amp.
1845949
Yes that will work. I would recommend getting a 30 to 15 amp adapter and run two extension chords from different outlets. This will allow your entire camper to have power Instead of only half.

No, it is not that powerful. And again this heater is unreliable. Mine only lasted 4 months before it failed. Would not trust it at all.

Yes it will. I even bought a portable charger with a 12v output to use it while I'm out camping.

It depends on what your purpose for the device is. I'm currently using this to power a small speaker and it works excellently. One note worthy benefit is that you have a voltage adjuster on the unit rather than being stuck strictly to 12 or 5 volts.
