    Hello Friends,

    Has anyone been successful using an electric blanket w the bed outlet?

    If you have, please leave me the brand name and style if possible!

    Thanks

    The bed outlet only works when the engine is running. If you’re going to sleep in the back with the engine running, just make sure you close the garage door to speed up the process.
