I wish to take a snake with me to a festival but there are no electric hook ups for my vehicle (converted van). The snake's tub requires a small 15w heat pad controlled by a pulse thermostat.
My plan is to trickle charge the vehicle battery (or perhaps a leisure battery) with a small solar panel to help keep it charged a little.
My current inverter generates 160w and is way over engineered for my requirements as it will flatten the van battery way too quickly as it continually runs its own fan etc. (the festival is for three days and movement of vehicles is prohibited).
Is there a simple way to power the low watt stat and heat pad from 12v? Or are there low watt inverters on the market?
Any help is gratefully received!
