vango usb heat mat
Any idea of power consumption? Would it drain the leisure bat overnight!?I’ve attached extension wire so I can run off usb sockets in van, and it doesn’t drain leisure bats.
The Vango website suggests 10 watts (5v, 2.1a) but is not clear on this.Any idea of power consumption? Would it drain the leisure bat overnight!?
I can’t find the the paperwork what came with it, but I do leave it on all night it has a built in timer if it goes off then I fire it up again. Have it on 2nd setting (purple).
The Cali shop sells it and they have done a YouTube video, you can use power packs if you don’t want to run it off leisure bats.
Bargain at £40, but think of it as a hot water bottle not a electric blanket.View attachment 86991

The team behind me in a 4x4 pickup with off road tyres had a wee slide. Vectors ok, but on 4mm which is low end of snow tread depth. Either there was ice or that tread makes big difference. Had some traction light action on pulling away quickly. However the mountain carpark was an ice rink and a van pulling in next to me needed 4 + goes to get into the space, no problem for meGood to see Phil, I have some new boots to test out on my feet tomorrow. Hope they perform as good.
My BFG hit a bit of black ice over near backwater yesterday bit hairy, but luckily I was going slow.
