Greetings,
I know in my reading here that there is at least one in the group utilizing a 12v electric sleeping pad and/or blanket in his setup. The idea has crossed my mind, and today I came across an interesting twist from a start up on Kickstarter. The webpage is _here_.
There are two models, both of them are powered (typical heat times will easily get you through the night) by rechargeable li-ion batteries. The first is an insert for a sleeping bag, the second is what you might think of as a long ankle length lightweight hooded parka.
With the idea of incorporating _personal_ heating rather than _room_ heating into our setup I went ahead and purchased a Selk Bag last season. Overall I like the comfort, though getting past looking like a big gumby doll is still a work in progress for me. IMO there are real advantages to taking care of one's personal comfort by well, personal measures, rather than heating up a rig or campsite. Still experimenting.
Just some thoughts,
