Has anyone used one of these to heat (warm up) a queen sized RV mattress by putting it in the center?

I use this for camping trips only by putting on the air mattress and sleeping on it covered with sleeping bag.

I'm sorry I can't answer whether this unit would heat a smaller bed , my bed was a king size

No, for safety reasons. It has been a long time since I've gone camping and my concern arises purely from a safety point of view. Sure it will work but the distance it can heat is not very far...maybe 3 feet at most. Even then, I have not tried it so I can't really contribute much to help you. Sorry.

I would not know if this would work in an RV...We have applied this to a household heating unit

Hi Mag. I have a queen bed too and I only use two. since I don't sleep on the edge of the bed I center them where I do sleep more toward the middle and it works just fine.

Hi,I used a small heater in our airstream that had similar heat settings, so I'd say yes. It's just an ordinary plug-in. Keep in mind its size. It is small, which would be perfect for an rv. There are two heat settings. If your rv heat is on and you run this on high you'll probably blow a fuse. I'd turn your rv heat off or stick to its low setting. Cute little fireplace.

If u have a small tent than yes. The Mr HEATER sits firmly on a flat surface but u won't always get a flat floor surface in tent camping. I used mine in a tent and put it on a small metal table. It didn't heat up the table.... but it certainly warmed up the tent!

It is strongly advised not to put sharp creases or folds in the pad. the heating elements feels like wires going vertically up and down inside the pad. The pad comes with safety pins you use to pin the pad flat on the mattress by the edges. if you have to tuck the excess padding under the mattress this should be okay as long as there aren't any sharp folds

Yes... I use mine in my travel trailer bathroom...it heats the water and the room at the same time..an added bonus

No, it won't work. It's impossible to quantify that answer, because you don't specify how much current you will draw and for how long. Generally speaking, it's always better to conserve heat than try to make more. So get a good sleeping bag; that is the appropriate technology. Then you will still be warm in the morning.

I have been very happy with the performance with King heaters. I do not heat a space of this size. Call them and I'm sure they will guide you to the right model for your needs.

Have not tried it. But I would hesitate to set an electrical device on a bed, purely from a firehazard standpoint.

Hmmmmm I never tried mine until I installed it but that don't sound good. You made sure you had somthing in it to heat up because if there is nothing inside you won't feel any heat.

Can't say I remember but the one I bought is heating an uninsulated area comprised of kitchen, dining area, and living room of a double wide mobile home and could actually heat the two bedrooms one on either side if they left the doors open. One of the women living there just turned 75 and has circulation problems like a lot of those of that age and she calls to thank me every couple of days for getting it for her.

I have not had any issues keeping my bed warm. This is a very high quality heater, I would suggest purchasing a faucet adapter from lowes or home depot and filling the bladder with warm or hot water to begin with. This will make the bed comfortable to sleep on immediately, and reduces the strain on the heater from running constantly for 4 or 5 days to heat the mattress. I think that the 24 hour running to initially heat the bladder is when you cause issues later on.

Probably not enough to make a difference. It is as thick as a regular mattress cover. That said, I really like the way it heats the bed!

Hi Jim! I'm not sure. It probably depends on how cold it gets where you are at and how open the space is in the RV. The space we use it in is open. It is about as long as your RV and 14' wide. We live in Montana where it gets good and cold, so it is not the only source of heat that we use. Hope that helps some.
