30 amp fuse. Just make sure that you supply your heater relay with a 10 gauge wire from the battery. It's a pretty long run for a high amp draw.

I use both a 30 amp fuse and a 30 amp relay for my heater, with 10 gauge wires

Our kit includes a 25 amp fuse and inline fuse holder!

Enjoy!

You can figure it out.
Current (amps) = wattage (of the heater) / voltage (12v)
take the amps and multiply by 1.5. That is your fuse size.

You must be an EE?

I don't think 1.5 is necessary in a DC resistor application...cant hurt tho.
