Hmm... looking at this one could easily replace the 110 volt brick with something like this and convert it to 12 volt operation. Probably be a significant increase in efficiency over using a large inverter to power it. Interesting....

Hi Pappa_Bear, this doesn't answer your question (sorry) but I've been thinking about trying an old fashioned hot water bottle - haven't done it yet though. Pretty cheap, simple, and foolproof.

For what it's worth some of the blankets/pads with electronic controls do not like MSW converters and the old analog control ones are tough to find. In our Country Coach we had MSW and I left the inverter on when on shore power. I had a dream that I could hear electric wires frying. I got up to use the bathroom and the smell was unmistakable. It wasn't a dream, the park had lost power and the controls fried as I slept. Now we have PSW so no issues.

We have 480 watts of solar panels on the roof and 110 amps of usable power for the house batteries. We use a 1000 Pure Sine Wave Inverter to power the 40 inch flat screen, 2 computers, Dish DVR, LED lights and a dual control mattress warmer. After 2 hours of TV about an hour of computer work in the evening, we run the matress warmers all night and still have about a 20-30 amp cushion in the morning.

Most of the 12v blankets do not seem to have a thermostat control... Can someone recommend one with a control?

I am not aware of a true 12 volt electric blanket with a thermostat, but they do sell low voltage blankets. Mine uses 18 volts and is very nice. It does have a thermostat control, in fact two of them. I am checking on ways to convert 12 volt RV voltage to the blankets required 18 volt.

Good morning, we ended up getting a Sunbeam, it has whole bunch of setting for the heat, and it has a ten hour timer on it, works really well!

O yeah I was going to pictures of my system on the thread awhile ago, however I wasn't smart enough to. Do I need to log in on a computer? Instead of my phone.

Is it a low voltage blanket?
Can't help with the picture question since I only post pictures using my laptop.
