BreakfastInAmerica -- interesting concept. As long as shore power is available I don't see why these wouldn't work. Using them as a liner above the coroplast (sitting on top?) would seem ideal to keep the underbelly area warm. The need to keep the underbelly heated (which is normally done via the RV's furnace) is often the limiting factor when using an electric heater in the interior of the camper, so these Heat Traks would address that issue.

Given the expense, though, my assumption is the individual that went down this route is a die-hard winter camper!

howson Remember laziness is the key to invention. I am going to guess the guy that came up with these hated to shovel the sidewalks. He probably thought I have a heated band on the eve to prevent ice damming damage to the shingles, heated driveway and walk up to the porch so I don't have to shovel, now what can I do to the existing porch so I don't have to shovel that area off??? It could be that the inventor was also looking for a cheaper alternative than tearing out and replacing all of the concrete in the driveway to get the in slab snow removal system.

It's also just safer to not step out on to the frozen walk where your backside can make quick and painful contact with the hard surface covered in ice.

No I do not live in a snow and ice area (not much of it at least here south of Houston), but I have spent several months in the cold wet snowy areas of North America working.

The linked website seems to avoid mentioning technical details such as current draw. I wonder why they are so secretive about that? They focus on how fast snow will melt (without reference to ambient temperature) and a "calculation" of cost without details.

Cate&Rob Rob, you have to dig into the various mats to see the amp draw.
