Full-contact, weatherproof heating pad helps prevent your RV gray water or black water dump valve pipe or elbow from freezing. The pad wires to a wall switch inside your RV. Easy, peel-and-stick installation.

Specs:
The Therma Heat RV heating pad meets the following certification standards:
Note: This heater pad should be installed on non-conductive surfaces only.
When the outside temperature is cold enough, the gray water or black water dump valve pipe or elbow on your RV will freeze. This stops you from being able to dump your gray water or black water tank. Furthermore, the frozen water could potentially cause cracks or other irreparable damage, which would mean you would have to replace the pipe.
The full-contact ThermaHeat heater pad will prevent this by keeping your pipe warm during freezing temperatures. It can also completely thaw out a pipe if it's already frozen, assuming that it hasn't been damaged. The heater pad does all the work for you, preventing you from having to go out in the cold and thaw it out by hand with a heat gun or hair dryer, which can melt the side of your pipe if not used properly.
This heater pad has easy, peel-and-stick installation. The flexible carbon fiber material is designed to fit the contours of any valve pipe or elbow surface. The pad is meant for use on black water and gray water pipes, but can be installed onto freshwater pipes as well.
The pad has a white wire for ground, and a red wire for power. This 2-wire design is compatible with DC power while your RV is in transit. It can also run through a converter while connected to a power source when your RV is parked. The pad wires into a wall switch on your RV, letting you turn it on and off as needed.
Additionally, you are able to install this pad with other ThermaHeat heater pads (sold separately). In order to do this, they must be connected and run parallel. You would daisy-chain the red wires together and connect them to the battery of your RV or camper and then daisy-chain the white wires together and ground them. In order to turn the pads on and off, you will need to install a switch (sold separately) between the battery and the pads.

Product works really well. I used multiple heaters to keep water tanks and plumbing from freezing on bus tiny home conversion. The shipping to Canada was very fast. I would definitely recommend this product and seller.
Had to sacrifice the original Thermaheat on the rework and installation of a cam-lock waste dump. Certainly can attest to the adhesives. They are permanent. Lower wattage is ideal. Multiple correctly placed are far more effective than a single higher wattage unit. The quality seems to be there.
Working great!
Install 3 holding take heaters, 1 fresh water tank heater and 5 elbow/ pluming heaters on my trailer. All of the heaters running at the same time draws less than 300 watts so I can now leave then on when towing without having to run my propane heater in the trailer. I added R30 insulation to my underbelly and took a trip to Angel Fire NM where one night it got down to -24 degrees F. None of my tanks froze. I had one temperature probes directly on my black water tank and it was 53 degrees with the -24 outside. Every day was below freezing with temps in the lower teens each night. I believe these are rated at -11 but it is a good idea to have an enclosed underbelly to keep the rest of your pluming warm.
Performs exactly as described and would highly recommend them for someone looking to give their trailer protection while operating during freezing temperatures. Easy to install and wire!
Can’t wait to try it out in very cold weather. The shipping was quick and the price was good. The product was as described and seem to be well thought out. Now I can be sure of fresh water even in freezing weather and to be able to dump my tanks before I leave the camping site in cold weather.
Easy install, appears to work as designed. Instructions say to clean surfaces w/alcohol, I'm a believer in Lacquer thinner myself, cleans a preps plastic a lot better imop.
Easy to install and very sticky. Seems like a great value, but I am waiting for cold weather to try them out.
Customer service was excellent and my order was delivered on time everything is in working condition I would definitely recommend using etrailer ty
