It's like having your highbeams, low beams and brake lights on all at the 
same time.  Okay when the engine is running, but don't leavi it on while 
you go shopping.
I installed one of these in a friends old bus.  1200 BTUs isn't very 
noticable unless you're holding your hand right in front of it.
It is however enough to keep a window defrosted.
