Hey Scott! Yes, the ThermaHeat RV Holding Tank or Step Heater Pad w/ Thermostat item # 277-000164 will turn on at temps lower than 45 degrees. It has been tested and will work with temperatures as low as -32 degrees.
I have linked an installation video below that will show you how to get it set up.
