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?


What are you doing about the gray and black tanks? Just curious as I think having them freeze is an even bigger issue than the fresh water.
