Electric Blanket for motorhome ?
Was asked today if there is an electric blanket that can be used in a motorhome? (free camping) and if so what are they called?

yes they do make an electric blanket you can use in your MH Dot. It is called an electric blanket. . Your standard one you use at home does not use much power. I use ours when free camping.

Thank you lot for your very informative replies as usual but it is not for me, I have 2 pussies to keep me warm and the Gman of courseDot wrote:Was asked today if there is an electric blanket that can be used in a motorhome? (free camping) and if so what are they called?
So I guess the answer is , an ordinary electric blanket can be used without 240 power.

via a suitable inverter....... you will get away with a 200w one.Dot wrote:Thank you lot for your very informative replies as usual but it is not for me, I have 2 pussies to keep me warm and the Gman of courseDot wrote:Was asked today if there is an electric blanket that can be used in a motorhome?

Re: Electric Blanket for motorhome ?
ummmm...... A 150w MSW inverter will run a double bed electric blanket with power to spare, not the fancy dial a heat display stuff, just the 0.1.2.3 switch type. Been using them for yrs after the first Maleny freeze the butt off they became mandatory equipment even if it was on all night I doubt a good battery would have any problems supplying the power required, but if you can sleep on an electric blanket on 3 all night you need more than just an electric blanket I think Even Brian Homeless has bought one now, getting soft in his old ageMrcoolabah1au wrote:But u have to run the genny all night for power

Re: Electric Blanket for motorhome ?
You would need to use your inverter Dot. Keep in mind that on maximum you are only talking about 60 watt for the electric blanket but you would only be using about half that. So you wouldn't be using the blanket on full and the thermostat will be cutting in and out.
