12 Volt Auxiliary Heaters & Fans that plug into the cigarette lighter to defrost the Windshield with warm air or for instant warmth in a small concentrated area. 12 Volt Heaters are limited in power because of the maximum current draw that is available from the cigarette lighter socket and will only produce warm and not hot air. The larger heaters (Direct Battery Hook-up) are able to warm a small area such as a truck cab and need to be directly wired to the Battery or a 12, 24 volt high current (30A+) source at the fuse box.

Selection of fleece electric heated blankets that get power from the vehicle's cigarette lighter plug. 12 Volt blankets get warm and not hot like the 120 volt Blankets.


Great idea but the 12VDC electric blankets and space heaters only put out warm air/heat not like a conventional electric blankets and space heaters. You would probably have to use a 110v one to do the job but you would need a much larger inverter and your battery would probably not make it. You could get a cheap battery at wallyworld for that purpose but as much money you would be spending a good sleeping bag would do better for that case. We always carry 2 bags while traveling in case we do break down. We almost broke down one winter while going west on I-26 in South Carolina going to ashville and it was snowing. Fortunately I got the truck running on 7 out of 8 cylinders (Ford F-150) and it got me there.I was just about ready to start digging in and set up camp when I finally got it working. The ole lady was yelling at me the whole time. No cell phone coverage or nothing within a long long way.

I use heavy wool blankets. Whenever you feel a little too cold, turn the engine on and let it run for 10-12 minutes. Don't worry about specific amounts of minutes and stuff. YMMV
