Question:
I have 100 gallon freshwater tank on my rv. Can multiple units be used to prevent freezing and are there additional models to choose from?

You could use more than one holding tank heater if you wanted to and there are different options available. Pad heater # 277-000164 is one option. There is also another model, # 277-000163, with different dimensions.
We also have elbow heater pad # 277-000161 (for 3 inch pipe) and # 277-000162 (for 1-1/2 inch pipe).
And we have several self-regulating heating elements: # W01-1572 (15 feet), # W01-1573 (25 feet), and # W01-1574 (50 feet). These were designed for freeze protection for holding tanks, water supply lines, drain pipes, and metal or plastic pipes up to 3 inches in diameter.
I have included a link to a video for each type of heater listed above.
