Just because the outside temperatures aren't exactly balmy, inside your boat, RV or big rig doesn't have to be freezing, either. From ceramic heaters capable of heating a substantially sized area to personal warmers like fleece blankets, the variety and number of options for keeping warm on a 12 volt power system mean you'll never have to be left out in the cold again.

12 volt heaters

From whopping 480 watt powerhouses to smaller 300 watt units, there's a 12 volt heater available for just about everyone's needs and budgets. Some can be wired directly to the vehicle's electrical system. Some come with their own power supply. Others come ready to plug into either your 12 volt converter or your cigarette lighter. Most are equipped with adjustable fans, to both direct the air flow where you need it most and regulate the amount of warm air flowing from the heater. Most also have adjustable thermostats, allowing you to keep the temperature just the way you like it, or just the way it needs to be to get the job done. Some units are meant to be mounted on a wall or above a bunk area. Other are meant to be sat on the floor ...
... or other flat surface. Small 12 volt ceramic heaters stay cool to the touch outside, making them ideal for small spaces, areas where there are children or pets, or simply for the safety conscious. You can even buy 12 volt heaters that have a "low power" meter, either alerting you or simply shutting the unit off when their power source is running low. Choose a larger unit that is capable of producing 165 Fahrenheit (70 Celsius) for those very cold nights, or for warming larger areas like your RV or big rig cabin. You can even purchase a "back seat" heater for your SUV or bunk area, designed to produce a lot of heat for a short period of time in a small area. Toast your hands after scraping the windshield or use it to take the chill off your bunk area before heading to bed.

12 volt personal heating

Tired of crawling into a cold bunk every night? Tired from waking up with icicles hanging off your toes? Tired of climbing into a cold driver's seat every morning? Well, with the choices in personal 12 volt heating devices, you'll never have to be tired of, or from, the cold again. How about a bunk warmer to get your bunk all nice and toasty warm before you hit the hay for the night? They are available in 3 sizes, to fit twin, large twin and full mattresses, so even if your bunk is built for two, there's a warmer for you. Fleece blankets powered by your 12 volt system will ensure a nice, peaceful and warm night's sleep. Available in a variety of sizes and colors, you'll have plenty of to choose from when you want to snuggle up in for warm, soft slumbering. The warmth doesn't have to be confined to just your snoozing time or space, either. Warm up your seat while you warm up your engine with a 12 volt powered seat warmer. Much like a seat cover, the seat warmer fits over your driver's seat, plugs into your cigarette lighter and by the time you're ready to roll, you've got a nicely heated seat to climb into. Makes hitting the road on those cold mornings more appealing, doesn't it?

With all the choices for adding warmth and comfort to your 12 volt on-the-go lifestyle, you'll never have to worry about dropping temperatures again. Whether you'll be driving in comfort, or dropping off to sleep after a hard day on the road, on the lake or in the woods, your 12 volt heating devices will keep you cozy and snug irregardless of Jack Frost's best efforts.
