Subject:Platinum Cat Heater while mobile?

This weekend I will have to take the brass monkey inside - it's going to go
to -27C on Sunday according to the weatherman.  I am driving the Westie for
a few more weeks until it's insurance runs out.  Block heater is working,
cold start problem is fixed so I am ready for the colder weather to come.
My question is can the Platinum Cat heater I have be used while I am
driving?  I figure it would be a great way to keep it warm(er) in there
while I am away to keep the battery up to temp and the windows defrosted.
Running the BA-6 heater is one option, but for short trips I would like to
keep the propane heater running - can anyone foresee a problem with this?
