suggest a heated mattress cover
my wife is always cold. we have a true queen in our TT. is there a heated mattress cover that will run on 12v? or do i need to get an inverter to power it off grid?

The only company I’m aware of that makes a 12v mattress pad is Electrowarmth. At one time they made twin and queen sized mattress heaters, but I think they were pushing the limits of the 12v cigarette lighter plug because they discontinued the queen size several years ago. They still make the twin size, and it’s intended to be used in the sleeper bunk of a semi.
I actually have one of their old queen mattress heaters, and it still works very well. However, I cut the plug off the cord and hardwired it to its own CB several years ago because the plug was getting too hot. When we travel in the winter time, I turn it on while we’re on the road to keep the mattress warm. Much nicer than crawling into a freezing bed at night.
If mine ever dies on me, I’ll replace it with a 120v model, and run it from my inverter. Electrowarmth makes 120v models as well, and it might be one of theirs. We have a 120v mattress heater at home, and it works well too. I like them much better than electric blankets. The heat is where I need it at night. Under me, rather than on top.
Mattress heaters and electric blankets are like microwaves now, most all of them have digital controls, and they don’t tend to like cheap, MSW inverters.
