Hey! That was thirty five years ago. I was good lookin' and spindly!
And had a mattress and heat! Both kinds.

PJ,
There is just something wrong about that comment.
You're supposed to focus on the neckid part and forget the rest!

Thanks for thinking of me fellers. But that and others I've found
in the
price range $15-$50 all look like they <might> be able to heat
one of my
feet each on a trip over the pass in the winter. In a van the
volume of cold
air coming in around the worn and rotted door seals would replace
any heated
air immediately. Was able to heat my old non-Westfalia VW van in
the 70s
with a propane fired catalytic heater, at least enough for my
girlfriend and
I to get neckid for a bit mid-winter. :-o
I doubt I'll be making any trips longer than 50 miles in the
foreseeable
future, in the winter. Somewhere I still have long undies, plenty
of thick
woolen socks, fleece lined boots and gloves from my skiing days.
I may even
still have my sheepswool lined cowhide range jacket somewhere. :-)
(don't laugh, I also have all the modern puffy wicking high tech
layers as
well)
No, my concern would not be heat in the car, but my ability to
stay alive
should something happen and I have to abandon it in the mountains
during a
storm. Emergency backpack and warm clothes are more important.

I had one of those, (well something very similar in concept),
for a
Volkswagen Beetle. The heater boxes were rotted out and I was
damned if I
would spend almost $200 in parts to repair a car I'd paid less
than $300 to
buy. You could warm yourself by the power cord, and plugging it
in would
make the headlights dim...

winter's
here. But it's been that way for 12 years now. I deal with
it. : )
My camera and lenses are already acclimated when I arrive at my
destination! (bought a new heater core 6 years ago, have yet to
install it
- it's a pain to do so, entails removing most of the dashboard)
You need one of these.

Faster and easier than swapping a heater core.
