Ideas for wax bath while doing vanlife

Hello! Last year I got a hot wax bath to help with arthritis pain in my fingers. It has been very helpful. I started living in my SUV and I am trying to figure out an easier and smaller way of doing the wax bath. I read that paraffin wax should not be microwaved because it can catch fire. Does anyone have experience with a small crockpot or candle warmer? I climb at a gym and work in an office. I would like to plug in whatever and have the wax warming while I climb or at work and then can take it with me on the go. Anyone have ideas or experience doing this? Thank you!

We use a cheap walmart crock pot.  It takes a while to heat up but it works fine.

Do you have an inverter for 12v to 110, or are you looking for something to run off the SUV directly?

You looked at these? : https://www.amazon.com/Best-Sellers-Paraffin-Baths/zgbs/beauty/3787271

Thank you! I have a was bath already. Looking for a smaller alternative. 

I've heard of people running a crock pot off an inverter WHILE THEY WERE DRIVING, as they would not have the battery capacity without the engine running. The scenario was a crock pot meal in the trunk cooking as they drove to be ready by the time they reached their destination.

I never knew about this until I saw your post. Thanks! I'm unfortunately living with pretty severe arthritis in my fingers, so it piqued my interest. After reading this article, I placed my order. If my fingers did not hurt and swell so much, I'd keep them crossed hoping for a good outcome. 

What was your usage protocol that saw result? Dedicating 20+ minutes everyday 5+ days a week is quite a commitment. Naturally, I'm trying to find the minimum dosage. 

There are lots of article out there with a variety of levels of research to blogging. I have found it helpful to use and before moving into my vehicle I was working remote 95% of the time and just tried to dunk my fingers a few times a day. I think I let the wax sit on my fingers for maybe 5 minutes or so because it cools down. More layers of wax will last longer. The biggest thing is consistency and I would do this after climbing as well.
