Default 12v seat heat?

I do a lot of RV'ing and was just sitting here wondering if those 12v sticky holding tank heaters would work if you took off the covering of your seat and installed the heater then put the covering back on your seat. Hook it up to accessory switch and voila! What do you folks think?

Dawg it should work you would want to check the current draw to be safe for your electrical system. Going to just do an on/off switch or find a way to hook into a heated gear trolly?

Let us know how it works...

Umm,installation looks a little complicated. But it looks like it would work and is still alot cheaper than most heated seats Ive priced.

Besides I know a boat/auto upolstery guy who's truck is in mygarage getting some work done right now. I smell a trade coming.
