tank blanket?

[tyaughton]

I stopped briefly in Camping World the other day, and they had tank blankets on display. I didn't have time to investigate too much, but was wondering if anyone had installed these on their tanks. It would seem like the smart thing to do, if you were going winter camping, or were at risk of freeze up overnight somewhere.

This reminds me of my brother back when we were in HS he put a blanket over the motor with a light bulb under was going to be way below zero that night and around 5 am I woke up and looked out the window and thought the garage was on fire... Nope it was his 1963 comet somehow the blanket caught fire during the night. The comet was toast.I'll never forget that.

I have the pads on all the tanks sewer pipe and the elbows and the system works great. Keeps everything from freezing. Once we leave Idaho next spring we won't be needing that no more, lol should be heading back to Texas for a while. If you rv during winter its a great system and would highly recommend it.

we have the heated pads that cover the entire bottom. But there is still some exposure.
