Heated Seats! (The Cheap & Easy Way)

As Old Man Winter approaches, one of the nicest vehicular amenities is heated seats. This is how you get them on the cheap: with a heated seat cushion! Many of us drive our RV tow vehicles year round, and there a few things in life more civilized than “warm buns” on a cold winter day.

If you’ve never tried heated seats in wintertime, you don’t know what you’re missing. It’s a wonderful luxury on a cold winter day to feel radiant heat emanating from your seat cushion.

Unfortunately, heated seats are an expensive option on new vehicles. And if you want to permanently install heated seats after the fact, it’s even more expensive, since the seat must be stripped and rebuilt.

That’s why these heated seat cushions are so popular. For less than $20, you get to enjoy heated seats in any vehicle you please. And if you want to remove the cushion when the weather warms up, you are always free to do so.

One note about these seat cushions: since they draw power from a normal 12V “cigarette lighter” plug, if left on they can pull down your battery when your vehicle is turned off. Not to worry – just unplug ’em when you are done.

Of course, some of the pricier models have additional features and settings (such as a luxurious ON/OFF switch).
