This goes back to that thread a few weeks ago about your definition of
"cozy".  I only want enough heat to keep it around freezing temperature in my
van, maybe a few degrees above (just take the chill off).  If it doesn't get
that cold out, I don't need heat! ;-)

If I lived in Phoenix, I wouldn't need a heater at all.  I've stayed in the
mountains outside Phoenix in the dead of winter in a tent and was fine.  In my
van, I'd be snug as a bug in a rug.

All things are relative, especially during the holidays, when everything that
is relative comes over to your house for food!
