How can I keep my 7 gallon clear water tank used to wash food/dishes/etc. in 
my mobile office vehicle (which I use every day) to keep from freezing on a 10 
degree night, when I can't get up a snowy hill to shore power and there is not 
enough battery power to provide a heated space?  Possibly an additive to the 
water(a little vodka or something else potable that won't freeze) or a 
small/VERY LOW amperage 12V contact heat source that my limited batteries can 
handle?
