Ahh, yes, that was it. Your correct, it does turn on, it just turns off a
short while later on.

Maybe I can simply use it to warm up at night and in the morning.

Now, if I could figure a way to turn it on/off from the top bunk, id be in
business. =)

Hi Chris,

Its been a while since I had my air cooled van, but I thought the BA6
could be run while the engine was off... the issue is just that the
timer only allows a few minutes (ie: its not thermostatically
controlled). Other issues is it can be a fuel pig and a battery hog.
