>1) low electric draw.. good for running heater on camp battery

The stock Plat Cat is low on electrical draw.

>2) 7000 BTU output.  5500 is not enough for real winter camping with the
top up

With the top up for real winter camping you would need a lot more thatn 7000
BTW... If you want a warm camper put the top down in the cold.

>3) thermostat hook-up.. 'nuff said

The stock Plat Cat has a thermostat hook-up... standard

>4) remote switchable.. ie: a dash mount or rear compartment switch to turn
>the unit on/off

I believe just turning the stock thermostat that comes with the Plat Cat up
or down will do this it is remote from the heat unit... or maybe you were
thinking of something else...

It can't go under the seat because the heating element must radiate the heat
into the open air... I could be mounted at the base of the seat, but that
could get pretty hot on the legs!

or for westy owners, that tiny cubby hole next to the fridge
>wouldn't be bad either.

Tiny cubby holes are out too since this Plat Cat heating element must be in
the area to be heated and the stock Plat Cat measures about 14 inches wide
by 20 inches high by 6 inches deep for the 6,000 BTW unit.
