Have'nt tried it but i went to a store where they sell it and checked it
out.  All it is baisically is a burner that heats up some copper pipes
which air gets pushed through with its flexible hose with a fan inside.
Of course it must be outside the vehicle and wind is a problem cause it
can put out the flame.  i thought about the possibility of building a box
that mounts to the outside of the rear hatch or something to house and
hold the heater.  FOr such a simple device its overpriced at around $200.
It looked possible but not incredibly conveinent.
