    Question regarding a company

    You should contact as many Van Drivers as you can. Are they making any $ enough to support a family and a business? Start investigating cause the word I hear is that it ain't what it use to be. It might help if you have the luck of the Irish to.

    The ProHeat ordeal continues

    I do not know if I agree with the Idle Buster Comment. Reason being you can put a roof top unit with it. It then becomes a pretty good source of power and has much more room inside of it with a larger generator than my Pro-Heat. I believe this is a nice unit. Anyone using one?????
