yup. check at the local truck stops for a free copy of Road King magazine
(at the fuel desk, where the truckers sign for their fuel). in it, there
are ads for Webasto and Stewart-Warner and other manufacturers of diesel
cabin heaters. they are NOT cheap, however. :( but some models have the
ability to keep the coolant warm also, to reduce the fuel used in startup
next morning. :)
