My big question mark is my heated mattress pad. I can't find anything about wattage it uses. My Sunbeam heater is 1500 watts. Lose 10% and low and behold I'm "up there" on consumption.
Maybe I just run my FanTastic Fan and build a campfire in here!!

That is what we were discussing on phone....even my Honda has that 10% buffer zone....when I used to do the electric heater thingee....I tried to find one that has variable settings like 1500 ,1000 and maybe 750.....once I was snuggled down the 1000W did the trick and that was in the old Dodge CV....

Murray and I talked on the phone...he real close to maximum...might be too close for an off brand to handle...I know Honda says do not run at max for an extended time....2000W at they recommend no more then 10% of max rating is 1800 W's....anything over 1800 and your in lala land....

It has a low and high. 750 & 1500 I think. Maybe even a lower one for the "frost" setting.
