RecPro RV Tank Heater Pad Kit | 12" x 18" | Fresh Water | Gray Water | Holding Tank | Up to 50 Gallons | 12V | Includes Toggle Switch and Wire | Pipe Elbow Heating Pad Included (3 Pads)

This worked all winter in Illinois. Easy to mount and replace the old pads

FANTASTIC after-the-sale customer service from RecPro. My order was missing some items. Got a response from the company in less than 24 hours, and the missing parts were delivered 2 days later. Buy with confidence from these folks!

As described. Use eternabond or vinyl tape around edges, as I'm not confident these wouldn't peel off no matter how clean you get the tanks. I also feel they could have done a better job sealing the entry point of the wires to the pad. I mean, these things are exposed on the underbelly of your rig, so every effort to prevent water infiltration should be taken. Take the extra steps to seal and secure and they should work fine. Have not had any freeze ups in extended temps <20°F. Will update after first full winter.

Although this product seemed to answer the problem of having to constantly winterize my 5th wheel every time I use it during the winter months, in fact it would not for a couple of reasons… 1-there is no direct access to the top of the tanks except by having to open up the bottom and drop the tanks, which must be done by a rv professional shop, which charges a few hundred to do the work. 2-although the heaters would keep the tanks and elbow warm, it would not do anything to prevent the pipes r running throughout the RV from freezing and cracking, especially the vulnerable tankless hot water heater. 3-if installed, in order to operate, the pad control panel must be hooked up to the 12V electrical system. Unless the RV is connected to shore power, the pads will quickly drain the house batteries on my RV even though I have solar charging. 4-Based on the above, I returned the product, unopened for a refund.

These tank heaters are an exceptional value for what you get peace of mind that you won't be freezing up in your tanks and your your underbelly piping not too hard to work with but you only get one chance to stick it so you better make it right highly recommended

Works good easy to install

This product would have been soo much faster to install had there been a diagram for the swing and directions. Even my electrician was scratching his head . What could have been a two hour install took all day. Spent more time watching videos on installing from different manufacturers. Even tried going online to RecPro themselves and that was a total waste of time. Cross fingers all was plugged in to the correct slot on the switch.

The glue is incredibly strong, it's really gonna be hard peeling off this failed product. I am a 30 year electrician, the wiring diagram for the switches was useless, if you fail to read this review and buy the product, use a meter to check the terminals for function. If these heaters where reliable, it would be a great product. Each large pad pulled 5 amps at 14vdc, the elbows pulled 500mA. Praying for warmer weather so my fresh water tank stops freezing, fortunately no leaks yet. You have 30 days to return, they failed in 40 days. No warranty. Made in China.
