item 67036 12V/_75_ Watt  DM 108.90 which makes it about the same as the
fridge.  This is also my concern.

I saw that one, perusing through a friends catalog, and I was also
interested in it.

If I recall, there are three models, and the 12V one, the one we'd likely
use, is rated at something like 40 W.

Thing is, it would take forever to warm up a significant amount of water
with 40 W. I guess, one could warm it up enroute to somewhere, but I imagine
that is not what most of us would want to do. Wasteful of gas, hauling all
that water.

If I am wrong on the specifications, feel free to correct me, as I would
LIKE to be wrong on this one.
