Thinking about a thin tank heater.
Now that we have established that the tank is not insulated, it is partially exposed to warm air, and sits on an uninsulated metal pan, I am thinking about adding an inexpensive heater blanket.
There are a few manufacturers of tank heaters price runs from around $50 - $150, depending on features.
My thought is to slide the think tank heater blanket under the fresh water tank and inside the bin.
I will probably power this with 12v D.C. and a switch so that I can apply some heat to the bottom of the tank when driving in sub-freezing temps. Once parked, I can apply heat as necessary from the shoreline power converter.
I have a question out to the manufacturer to see if the weight of the tank when filled will be a problem with the thermostat and any wiring on the heater blanket
Thoughts?
