Interesting thread and timely as we think about how to deal with winter temps here in Colorado.
I was researching tank heaters for our new cold climate and decided to try the carbon fiber seat heating kits that are for sale on ebay for under $40. Well, prices are all over the board but the one I ordered was under $40.
I'm waiting for the kit now. They will run on DC at about 2-4 amps and have a single control switch that I'll install on the control panel and wire the four pads to the DC panel. They have a sticky side that I figure can be reinforced if necessary. I'll have to see how they hold up exposed to the elements below. Thought I might cover them with some waterproof nylon, or maybe get a rigid sheet of plastic to "enclose" the tanks--will have to experiment.
If they work, it will be a lot less investment than the tank heaters although I will have to control them myself instead of with a thermostat for below 30 degree temps.
