RV Water Tank Heating Pad

Question:

My fresh water tank is inside my van enclosed in a wooden box. Would installing this heating pad on the tank inside the box create a fire hazard?

Expert Reply:

That is heavily dependent on the specific application and proximity of heated pad to potentially combustible material. This heater pad is designed primarily for installation onto the bottom of exposed waste tanks, or steps. That doesn't mean it can't be used safely for enclosed fresh water tanks, it can, but concern for enclosed installation must be taken in account for safety.
