my calculations given above were a 3V drop on 200 feet of AWG 12 copper at 10 amps, so that would be a 4.5V drop at 15 amps. 123 volts starting - 4.5 volts == 118.5 volts. WELL within safe...

btw, 200 feet (100 ft cord round trip) of AWG 10 copper wire is 0.2 ohms, so at 10 amps, thats a 2V drop, or at 30 amps, a 6V drop.

I wonder if its a wiring issue at the outdoor outlet you're using?

150 feet (round trip) of 12 AWG *copper* is only 0.238 ohms. 0.238 ohms at 10 amps is 2.38 volts, therefore you should...

before you get the E4, with just that heater element (and the ac fan) running, what does the EMS show the current is ? I would expect around 12-13 amps if its a 1500 watt heater.

a 1500 watt resistive electric heater should make about 5000 BTU of heat. I believe the Atwood in my 2014 E21C is 12000 BTU, around 2.5 times more heat.

1500 watts is only 12.5 amps at 120V ... that shouldn't trip the EMS under any conditions, maybe your line voltage had a glitch or momentary dip

that long 120V 15A cord should be AWG 12 up to 100 feet,...
