Have'nt tried it but i went to a store where they sell it and checked it out. All it is baisically is a burner that heats up some copper pipes which air gets pushed through with its flexible hose with a fan inside. Of course it must be outside the vehicle and wind is a problem cause it can put out the flame. i thought about the possibility of building a box that mounts to the outside of the rear hatch or something to house and hold the heater. FOr such a simple device its overpriced at around $200. It looked possible but not incredibly conveinent. Andrew Fox 86 Westy Ft.
