Electric Blanket question ..

Just purchased a Twin size Elect Blanket to help out with the sleeping comfort .. Opened it up and read the manual - quote: "Product not for use with inverter supplied power such as from a motor home or boat".. Now, I've just finished reading about 10 posts where folks say they use an elect blanket - even one where his DOG has one .. Is this your typical CYA statement, or is there any potential damage to an inverter (or safety issue) with using one at nights? I have an 18' Jayco Swift, and they're not real insulated .. :(

Learned something new.

Never bothered to read that far.

Now I know to be sure to buy a PSW inverter when I do my solar project.

For whats its worth our electric blanket didn't work with a modified sine wave inverter but works fine with the sine wave type.

Good luck.

Then you will not be connected to an inverter, so no worries then.

I hope you have a large battery bank to power an electric blanket all night.
