Question:
When I daisy-chain a tank heater pad with elbow heater pad, will the elbow heater pad switch off when the tank heater pad reaches 65 degrees and switches off?

Expert Reply:
You can not "daisy chain" theThermaHeat RV Tank pad # 277-000164, or ThermaHeat # 277-000161 Elbow pads in series, but you can connect them all in parallel, so each pad essentially has a direct line to the battery. The operation of the thermostat on one pad will have no effect on the others.
For longer wire runs to the battery you can use Deka # 16-1-1 wire in 16 gauge. To turn off the entire system you will need a switch. the Pollak # PK34310 switch would be good if installed on a panel somewhere inside.
