I use one in the Rooftop tent under the fitted sheet. Turn it on 1-2 hours before going to bed on low. Does help to warm up the Rooftop tent space/area quite well. Normally, gets turned off when I go to bed and then turned on somewhere during the night to warm things up again. I have had it on the whole night on one particularly cold night and it did do quite well. But found the cold penetrated the blankets from the top. In general I find you are colder in Rooftop tents, than in a swag for instance. Probably because of the air space is bigger and you are higher off the ground.
My land rover defender has a more or less non existent heater. Took it up central plateau then other day so grabbed one of these from kmart and used it like a granny blanket over my legs. Was more than enough to keep me warm in freezing Temps in a drafty cab 😂
@@chillybinadventures yes I think so, you have different types, vests, coats hoodies, ect . I like the vest , I can wear under anything even sleep in a sleeping bag
The 12 V warming blankets are not meant to be slept on. Is that how you use your electric blanket at home? Sleeping on top can ruin the heating coils. Next time, put it in your sleeping bag to warm it up and have it over you. If you put another quilt on top, it should retain the heat longer after you turn off the heat. I don't know why so many RU-vidrs try to use these as mattress warmers. Jon in rural BC, Canada
Hi Jon, greetings in Canada! In NZ we use electric blankets that are incorporated into the fitted sheet on our normal beds and sleep on top. However I do agree that the blanket in my video is more of a warming blanket so will take your tips into consideration the next camping trip 👍🏻
@@chillybinadventures Ah, here we call those mattress warmers. The best bed warmers are pets who snuggle under the quilt. A human is good, but take up a lot more room and talks too much. :)
