We have one on our boat, and use it. Boy what a great thing! It is a
queen sized one, and we rarely run it higher than 2 (scale of 10); we
have a comforter over it. At that level, it draws a little more DC than
our anchor light. It is a standard 110v model, and we run it thru the
inverter.

NOTE: it is important to be sure to remove all the parasitic loads
(read: wall bricks) if you are going to leave the inverter on for long
periods, like over night. They consume an inordinate amount of power,
even when they are doing nothing.

I treid to post this earlier but do not think that it worked. forgive
me if it double post. Does anyone use electric blankets on board? I
find that at home I only use it on the lowest settings and do not heat
the rooms. How are they with battery power? I have a battery size 27,
and a 1750 Watt inverter. Would I be able to use it all night? How
about with shore power? Thanks
