I will be adding a fireplace to my 266RLDS, How do I find out the maximum wattage I can add without causing breakers to trip? I looked in my manual and found nothing. My wife also wants to add a toaster oven. Any help would be appreciated.

Identify the associated breaker to the string of outlets, turn off one outlet breaker and test each of the outlets with a light. Then compare watts on everything on that circuit to the breaker. You only need enough watts to power things that are being used. So maybe the toaster oven and the electric fireplace might not be able to run at the same time.
Are you a 30 amp limit or 50 amp . I never liked using any heating appliance on other than low setting. This has a 750w setting which is perfect for me. When it comes to power, everything is a trade-off. Water heater, refrigerator, toaster ovens,coffee maker, etc.
I didn't have the room for a full size one. This worked for us

I'm at a 30 amp limit. We have a Mainstay electric fireplace heater 1500w that works fine, we were just thinking about getting the normal RV fireplace, but it isn't a necessity.
My wife also purchased a toaster oven, which we found out cant be used when using other appliances at the same time. When she uses it, we shut off other things so it can run.
