I saw that one, perusing through a friends catalog, and I was also interested in it. If I recall, there are three models, and the 12V one, the one we'd likely use, is rated at something like 40 W. Thing is, it would take forever to warm up a significant amount of water with 40 W. I guess, one could warm it up enroute to somewhere, but I imagine that is not what most of us would want to do. Wasteful of gas, hauling all that water. If I am wrong on the specifications, feel free to correct me, as I would LIKE to be wrong on this one. Marshall Ruskin 84 Westy "Iron Igloo"
