Recommended Wiring Instructions For The Rampage Radiant Backseat Heater
Question:
What cigarette lighter adapter could I put in a boat that could run this thing? None of yours are even close so why would I think my RV or vehicle would have a 25 amp power adapter? Are you sure these are safe to be selling to people as a plug and play add on?

Expert Reply:
The 12v cigarette lighter outlets we carry aren't going to be rated for a 25amp power draw so you would need to wire the Rampage Radiant Backseat Heater - 300 Watt - 12 Volt # RA3501 either directly to the battery with a in-line fuse holder like # SWC9539 or to the DC distribution panel in your RV's power center with a 25 amp fuse.
The # RA3501 isn't really designed to be connected to a cigarette lighter style outlet but I'm assuming you're wanting this so that you can unplug and remove the heater as needed. If this is the case then you could simply splice in a 2-pole connector like # HM47965 to allow you to unplug/plug in the heater as needed while leaving the line running to the power source alone.
