Guest Derek Uzzell Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Last November there was a forum question about heated floor mats for motorhomes, referring to an earlier MMM article. Purely by chance, I came across a report in Which Motorcaravan August 1996 that may be relevant, relating to a "Thermocarpet". This was a 71" x 19" carpet-runner consuming 200W of 230V mains power and originally aimed (in slightly wider format) at the caravan market. The special price to WM readers was £75 and the full retail price was £100. My Internet searches produced no results for Thermocarpet (neither supplier nor mat), though I think the manufacturer may have been a German company called "Thermo" that still specialises in heating products. Another idea that never found a market it seems, probably due to the price. For the record, the UK supplier's details provided by Which Motorcaravan were Thermocarpet Ltd, Yew Tree, Hanging Langford, Salisbury, SP3 4NN (Tel: 0700 781188) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Clive Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 You will find these in Pet shops designed for keeping doggies in outside kennels warm at night. Its worth having a look at www.petsmart.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Derek Uzzell Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 As I'm regularly in the dog-house I visited the petsmart site, but I couldn't spot anything resembling a heated carpet. Perhaps I didn't look in the right category - which one was the product in please and what was it called? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Derek Uzzell Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Clive/Nick: thanks for the info. In fact the 'pet pads' - even the big ones - are nowhere near the same size as the Thermocarpet (nearly 6 feet in length). Perhaps someone does a pet-pad for a crocodile.
