Yes.


My question is: why?  If you desire to heat the interior, why not just plug
in one of those 1500 watt ceramic disc heaters.  I think there is enough room
to meet the combustible surface spacing requirements of such a device.  Just
make sure you have adequate strain reliefs on both sides of the plug and cap
connection so that it can withstand the trauma when you drive away without
disconnecting it.
