Hi, I have a 13 gallon flat water tank and I want to go camping in the snow, so I need a water tank heater for my 13 gallon flat tank. What do you recommend for me?

Good morning and thank you for your question. I recommend for you the Therma Heat RV Holding Tank Heater Pad # 277-000164. This is a 18-1/4" long x 12" wide heater pad so you will want to make sure your tank has adequate surface area. There is also a 25" Long x 7-1/4" Wide pad available # 277-000163 if that will be a better fit.

The best thing about this pad is the built in thermostat that automatically operates the pad. It will only come on when the temperature drops below 45 degrees. It will then automatically shut off when the temperature reaches 67 degrees. So you will not have to worry about anything overheating, even with a smaller 13-gallon tank. I also like that it is a simple peel and stick installation. Our install video is linked below if you want to see.
