If you are running 4 x 25 watts for 100 watts, I would think a 15 amp would be sufficient. 100 watts/12 volts = 8.33 amps.

How was it set up?
I thought about attaching the pads to the vertical sides but ultimately felt it was better to put the heating pads on the face of the battery that was on the bottom with a decent plate to distribute the heat.

If the tank, pump and lines are in or at the back of cabinets, consider leaving the doors open so the heated air can flow in.
The other very helpful item are the USB charged fans we use to circulate the air to distribute heat and also control the moisture accumulation.

I had my water line freeze as it runs along the floor in the rear ( tank is inside as well). Since the floor gets cold and doesnt get the heat as much as the front. My lines froze one night when we had almost negative temps. I now have the lines insulated. Which should help.

Here for three more nights, if anyone is in the Park. Drop by site B15 tonight or B55 Sat or Sun - would love to meet up!
Saw a nice fixed top E350 yesterday on the way in.

Southern Utah is the best. If winter ever ends we are headed down there to play.

Ray, You are capitalizing on the winter of all winters! The Utah sno-tel sites are completely buried from the record snows. Drink it in my friend!
