12v DC pipe elbow heaters
Hello all,
Just got two 12v DC pipe elbow heaters rated at 7.5 watts, 0.55amps each. I was hoping to wire them into my WFCO w8735 converter so I can run them on and off grid. There are no empty circuits, but one of the 15amp circuits only has our bathroom and 'bedroom' lights on it since we don't have the optional slide. All the lights are the LED pop lights so the draw should be minimal. would it be wrong to splice the elbow heater onto the DC output wire for that circuit? Also, would I just connect the negative wire to the busbar that they run all the negative DC loads to? There will be a 15amp inline fuse and a 3 pole toggle switch wired before the converter. Here are some pictures of the converter.
