What Amperage Outlet Is Needed For A Furrion RV Fireplace  

Question:

Expert Reply:

The Furrion RV Electric Fireplace with Crystals # FF30SC15ABL has a max amperage of 12 amps so you would need a 15 amp circuit breaker. If your breaker keeps tripping then you most likely have multiple outlets running to that breaker and as soon as something else kicks on along with the fireplace it pulls too much and pops the breaker.

If the wire for your outlets is at least 12awg then you could swap out the 15 amp breaker with a 20 amp breaker and hopefully resolve the issue. If your wire gauge is smaller or the items running to that breaker can exceed 20 amps then the next solution would be to run that specific outlet to the panel and use an additional 15 amp breaker if your panel has space or install a twin 15 amp circuit breaker to give you two spaces to connect outlets to and split the load.

You can pick up the circuit breakers and 12-2 wire from your local hardware store. Just make sure that you take a look at the panel for the listed compatible circuit breaker brands so you can purchase the correct one.
