It will be a while before there = can be a list purchase, as now individual
purchases at this time are 4 weeks or = longer, since Arnie is working alone.
He is looking for a manufacturer to = produce the Cat, and it is certain that
it will be mass produced soon, but = when is the question. I was able to
squeeze 1 heater from him and this is = a brand new heater, which is already
sold.

He is swamped with work = in parts and service, so he may be only able to come
up with a heater = for now maybe 1 a month. This is the only bad news, because
he has some = ideas for heaters that will be made just for our
campers/Vanagons. as soon = as more heaters are available, I will let you know.

Meanwhile, I am = acting as sales rep and can handle most of your questions.
I made a list of = lists names and addresses in the order that they were
received. =

You can e-mail me personally and I can tell you your waiting number. (I have =
made an accurate recount of all the numbers!)

As soon as the heater = is being produced, I will let you know.
If I get any used Cats, you = can opt for one of these.

 

It's unclear to me it the = heaters you anticipate 'being produced' will be the standard Plat Cats OR some yet = unspecified design special Vanagon design.

Also unclear if they will be = available in 3k btu or 6k btu or both....

I went to the Spokane area = where the night before they broke a 125 year
record of-2 below F. I camped out, = and the night temp was down to F. 10 The
Plat Cat kept it the night temp = inside my 82 Westfalia to around F 60, where
I set the thermostat. All the = curtains were closed, including the windshield
curtain. The pop-top was = closed.
The heat shield that I put on the heater for the night kept me = from getting
to hot.
I suppose at twenty below F you won't need the = heat shield.

During the day and evening the heater kept the = interior in the comfort zone
68-70.

 

You didn't tell us if your = Plat Cat is 3k btu or 6k btu to achieve the above results...

 

Thanks,

This was the first chance I = had at testing the heater in very cold weather.
So if any one who didn't get a = chance to respond to the survey is interested,
please let me know, including = your preference for location.
I will let you know when I get any news = regarding the Platinum Cat.

Thermally yours,
