Amazon has a 12v , 12”x18” tank pad @ 4.8 amps.
Would that be about 100 watts of heat ? ?
P = I * V or W = A * V
So, about 60W.
As an after thought, Winnebago probably used the most cost effective (aka cheapest) heaters they could safely/legally install.
Tnx for formula :)
'Built to last the warranty' :) I'm surprised the heaters con't to operate.
NP on the formula. It's US Formula One day today, so sort of appropriate?
I have only ever tested them once, and that was briefly in the driveway. They look like they would peel and fall off if used for longer than a few minutes.
I secured the wiring myself shortly after the dealer installed it in 2018. They didn't get the wiring and pads when the vehicle was delivered to them. Took about an extra week to get the parts. I had a look underneath when I got home after the work. They left the wiring dangling loosely underneath, so I added some inexpensive plastic wiring conduit and some cable ties to try to secure/protect them a little more. So far, so good.
