I have one under the sheets on the mattress in my van. I got it at a truck stop, it has a cig lighter plug on it to power it up.
I use it to take the chill from the sheets before bed. I've camped out in some pretty cold places and crawling into a not freezing bed is a welcome way to start the night.

This looks perfect. Low amp draw and all that. Thanks for the good post. As for everybody else. . .

yes we have been using one for the past two years - why else would you have a second battery?
...I just never talk about it :friday:
Precisely! I've got the second battery and a cold tent. It seems so linear to me. However, I didn't expect to catch so much macho-flack for this post - you're smart to save your ego by not talking about it. I'll bet Kristina would be happy to enlighten us about your 'lectric blankey, though.

I have to agree with John here, just get a warmer bag ... or a dog. With (im)proper diet a dog can not only warm up the bags, but the air in the tent as well. Just be prepared for the puppy to crawl in the bag with you if it gets cold enough.
My personal problem with electric blankets is if the bed/bag is already warm my body won't generate heat and I freeze my parts off.
Get a double bag and go to bed wearing hats.
Well, here's the scoop. To save space and use what I have more wisely, we simply dressed the mattress in the Eezi-Awn with sheets and a blanket. We used to tote along sleeping bags but that just didn't make sense for space. NOW we just pop open the tent and the bed is already to go. 'Cept on a cold night. So I want an electric blankey. Dog is no good. I'm allergic.
I will admit, though, that a nice backpacking tent is
far better for warmth than the roof tent. There so much more volume to the roof top tent, that our two bodies don't heat it up nearly as well. Soooooooo. . .
I want an electric blankey!
Yes, there I said it - er typed it. For all you dudes too macho to say that you'd use one if you had it - we know what the truth is. Hell, I survived through a Feminist Lit class as the only male in a room of 25 women. . . I can handle you punks.
