I think depending on outside temp, if its below 3deg don't think they work that well or at all.
Have you checked fuses etc?

Ahhh.... But an air conditioner works very differently.
A blow heater uses electricity to heat an resistive element and simply blow air across it. Far more complicated is an airconditioner which is in effect a heat pump far better explained here than I can do.
In effect it moves heat from outside to the inside. If its too cold outside (and some air conditioners are better than other) there's not enough heat to 'move' inside.
Which is why I carry $15 blow heater!

Yes we brought a blow heater after our first winter trip, the Truma also dumped water inside while on heat 
Thinking of a small column one so can run overnight, has anyone used one?

Get a mini blow heater from bunning $15. We ended up going with a eco threm water heater. Surprisingly works well. Not hot - not cold. Just nice for sleeping.
