G'day all, Looking for any info regarding a single bed electric 12 volt blanket for our caravan. Looking on line I note that there are a range of "travel or throw" blankets for in car use but I need an under sheet unit .I have found a site "Tek Trek" that advertise what looks to be what I seek. Is anyone familiar with this product or has any knowledge of any other alternatives and where to source them.
Thanks to any who care to reply

Wouldn't bother with a 12 v
We have a standard 240v blanket that we use through the inverter for 15 - 30 mins and it prepares the bed very efficiently.............after that we shut it down.....I guess we could run it all night but never bothered
If you
check the wattage on a blanket they draw surprisingly minimal current.....and as far as being cost effective goes have a look at the inverter option if your set up lends itself to that

Think outside the square ........
Been using hot water bottles for years, Boil the kettle with gas & your done.
Cheap & easy & doesn't drain your power supply.
Cheers,
