12 volt basement heater
Does anyone know where to get a reliable thermostat controlled 12volt heater that I can put in my freshwater basement?

I bought a 12 volt 8 amp "Hair Dryer" from JcWhitney many years ago. I used it to warm my truck windshield when it was in the 50's when I was driving a diesel truck that did not warm up until I had driven about 3 miles on the freeway. So if it was foggy, it would take a while to warm up.
12 volt X 8 amps = about 100 watts. You would be better off running a 100 watt light bulb, it will put out just as much heat.
However if you really want a 12 volt DC heater, they are out there. Might run well over $100 because they are not a popular option.
Most RV's use a furnace vent to warm the freshwater tank and other basement storage areas.
Good luck!
