    I don't even turn my heated blanket on in my camper unless it's close to 0f and when I do, it's definitely on low😂 20F outside is comfy a heavy quilt in a car

    How long did you get out of it before the power ran out? What size power bank do you use?

    I bet you could pretty easily rig up a defroster for your water tank. If it's important enough to have that water when you're traveling. I'm going to check the local farm implement store to search for a mini tank defreezer that would work for something small like that. I want to replicate your water tank tube system.

      Heck yeah! Haven’t gad too many problems with it freezing. Takes a while for that much water to fully freeze

    I bought this pad and directions say it will work for 20 hours on low. Is that what you found. I have a 20,000wh

    Which electric blankets work with power inverters?
    Frustrated. Very frustrated. Saved up and tried an electric blanket on power inverter didn't work. Then tried a different one. Also didn't work. They can't seem to get enough juice from the battery bank and power inverter. But there are videos where people say some electric blankets can run on a power inverter.
    Could use advise on this thanks

    • @RileyMonthule
      @RileyMonthule  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The power inverter has to be big enough to lower the blanket but it also won’t really work for camping because the car has to be on charging the battery. Really only will work camping if you have a big battery bank

    • @larrywillard844
      @larrywillard844 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I believe you need an inverter than produces a SIN wave powerstream, should be indicated in ad and might cost more than cheaper inverters. BUT you will probably not be able to run 7 or 8 hours off a car battery expecting it to still be able to start the car (so use a separate battery).

    Sucks that the battery only lasted for hours but it didn't seem very realistic for a small battery to last so long I wonder if a bigger power station or a one-handed power station can do the job. Look up k tor foot pedal generator 50 Watts

      Yeah like I said in the video my big battery was getting repaired. It would easily last all night on a power bank.

    • @RileyMonthule
      @RileyMonthule  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I would use a power station with at least a 100+ watt hour battery. You also have to consider insulation for the battery since any lithium battery starts to not work below freezing. Mine literally doesn’t even turn on below 20 degrees. It’s not super practical for really low temps. I think you’d be much better off with a mummy sleeping bag.

Candles would be a hit but mostly a miss because of the smoke. Blankets. I have yet to get a electric blanket. And maybe super heat water in a thermos and when needed pour it out in a glass?
