Heres a kinda of solution that has worked for us and a few others. Very dependant on your situation in regards to where the heat has to go.
We needed to insure some heat in raceways where water lines ran in fairly isolated parts of the coach where although they were heated by the furnace they were marginal when it got down to minus 20 etc. I fisched incandescent rope light through these raceways and areas. Heat tape is 18 watts per foot, much more than I needed or wanted. Not to mention, heat tape should be attached to something like a pipe etc. Incandescent rope light is 6 watts per foot, gets warm, not hot and is easy to fisch. Essentially, every 10 feet is like a 60 watt bulb. This approach worked for our concerns. Maybe it would work for you.
Good luck.
PS, don't get the LED rope lite as it is only 2 watts per foot or less.
