As it stands, it's *just* ok. It brings the heat up a
little around town. i.e. tonight at 53 F outside on
short drive home, it warmed up van a little. On
highway it is much less efficient because cold air is
still getting in past newspaper and duct tape on fresh
air intake "scoop".

Original idea; make and use curtain to seperate cab
from rear portion of van, and close off fresh air
intake.

The heater was purchased at Can. Tire. It's called:
"Back Seat Heat Plus"

Was pricey, but I think with curtain mod, it will work
better and be worth the expense.
