What Type of Power Does the 25" x 7-1/4" Heater Pad with Thermostat for RVs # 277-000163 Run On
Updated 01/30/2017 | Published 01/29/2017 >
Question:
I see that the pad works off of 13.5V while in transit, so I am assuming that it is running off of the vehicle alternator. Will it continue to work while the vehicle is shut down and while the unit is not connected to an AC power source?

Expert Reply:
The 25" x 7-1/4" Heater Pad with Thermostat for RVs # 277-000163 will only produce heat when attached to a power source. If you disconnected the power source it would turn off. 12 volts is DC power though. You would need an inverter if you wanted to convert it to AC power.
