My wife often has back pain and uses a heating pad at home. Can she use it in the TT? We have 30 amp service. Didn't know if we would blow a fuse or cause problems. It's kind of old so don't have a ta...

Heating pads work fine and always have running from a 300 watt modified sine wave inverter from a simple 12V DC outlet. My disabled wife has been using them in our RV's and even boats for over 20 years now off either the shore power or off the 12V DC battery power when no hookups. Never have ran even a single battery down to 50% yet being on all day until bed time.
52 years of RV'ing so far. We also use our electric blanket or heated mattress pad all night long off our various sized modified sinewave inverters in the Fall and Winter or Spring in our truck campers or 5th wheels/other RV's and keep the furnace thermostat set lower since the early 1990's and still do and won't be without them. They don't use a lot of amps and less amps than the furnace blower motor and keep you truly toasty warm with virtually NO noise either. The heated pads, heated mattress pads, and electric blankets are all thermostatically controlled and only actually draw current for a small part of each hour and are so efficient.
I've had poor circulation problems for over 50 years now and need true body heat at night. More snug than a bug in a rug and as said, they only warm you and not the air! Wearing warm clothes as needed during the daytime but it really would suck if at night too. No "parka" to bed for us!
