I went to their website aprox 4 week's ago and studied all of em. Id absolutely treasure one as a lifesaver when stranded and broke down in every way in a blizzard as survival equip etc. Also the heat it provide's will last in cab a while after turning it off for sleeping. Obviously crack a window while it's on. Though my instincts/reasearch kept takeing me back to googleing "dc electric heaters" and im amazed @ what i found/learned. Even ton's of APU's are becomeing illegal in Cali. per land line mag dot com. "Idleing" stop's in Cali too Jan 1rst does'nt it? I wish i was out their instead of home. Have'nt found a position yet.
 Yal stay safe & GO OOIDA!

Diesel fuel fired heaters are far more dangerous than propane. How many diesel stoves have you seen lately? There is no exhaust running in the cab. |
