Could 5 of 13 x 3 Elbow Heater Pad for RVs # 277-000161 Be Powered off 10 Amp Switch
Question:
I am working on a tiny home conversion and have 2 18 gallon tanks. Can I use 2 of the 13 inch elbow heaters on each tank to protect from freezing. the larger heaters would interfere with the metal straps holding the tanks in place. I would also like to use another one on an external ABS p trap. These could be mounted on the bottom of the tanks. That would be a total of 5 which I could wire in parallel into 1 fused 10 amp switch . Would this work? Thank you,

Running 5 of the # 277-000163 that you referenced on a 10 amp switch wouldn't be a problem at all. It's hard to say how well the setup would do in your climate especially since this configuration hasn't been tested, but in all likelihood it would work well for you.
