I don't use a crockpot at home unless it's for a big pot of soup for a potluck gathering. Don't know why I thought I needed it in the RV. But that's just me. Lots of people swear by a crockpot. A friend of mine chuckled because I brought my ironing board and iron. Again, I iron at home, and I'm glad I brought it. lol
Have a great time.

...
I prefer the mattress warmer over the electric blanket, because I don't have to store it anywhere in the summer, just unplug it.

Are you sure it wasn't 700 watts? At 6.5 amps & 120 VAC you are at 780 watts. Besides, 700 watts sounds much more reasonable for a heating element.skyking4ar2 said:I was trying to find the draw on the crockpot, one place said 200 watts, another claimed 6.5 amps.

do you run the genset or use an inverter to power your crock pot?
