Mattress Warmers

There are few things as luxurious as getting info a pre-warmed bed on a cold
night. If nothing else, it makes it easier to get to sleep, because you don't
spend the first twenty minutes hunched up and shivering.

If you have a memory foam mattress topper, there's another advantage. Memory
foam is very temperature-sensitive, so in cold weather it's uncomfortably stiff
until your body warms it up. With a 12V mattress warmer, that won't happen.

My 12V mattress warmer draws 6 amps, and I run it for half an hour before
getting into bed, then shut it off--from then on I keep the bed warm by
myself--so it only uses about 3 amp-hours per day, which is insignificant. It's
one of my favorite enhancements to my rig.

12-Volt Appliances

Some folks like to avoid the necessity to use 120 volt AC power, and to be able to get along just fine when "off the grid" out in the boonies. Every RV'er has a different comfort level and some like to rough it more than others do. It's amazing how many 12-volt appliances are available; the question is - how many of them do you need, and how well do they work? Only you can decide .
The S. King Company sells a pretty good variety of 12-volt aplliances. Here are a few:
