I think I'm gonna go home and talk Sally into buying be an early Espar birthday present. Maybe. I'm a tightwad. But I'm tired of trying to get more than 4-5 hours out of my setup. Just gotta try one more thing. Or two. Or five. Besides, I'll need it right for a/c.

Murray I was surprised once the AC gets cranked up with my little 5,000 BTU window unit the fuel use was minimum...lasted about 7-8 hrs on a tank full....heat is a whole different ball game as you know...

Yes. Too cold is MISERABLE!! I need to see a couple of window unit installs. Of course I MUST insulate. I cannot believe I haven't don't that yet. It's not even much money at all. I should do it while on the road. My home time is all wrapped up usually. Unless it's a repair or more major. Like my GD aux tank. That POS is on my last f'ing nerve. I'm stopping at Summit in Tallmage in 10 mins to get a regulator. Bobby at Onan in Indy said I'm probably pushing too much pressure from the tank into the gen system.

I don't think anyone would argue that an espar is the ideal choice. But a buddy heater is an effective way to heat a van, and its portability is a plus.

Portability is nice when driving a fleet owned van.

$4,710.35 divided by 470 days is $10.02 per day. That will buy a lot of heat with money left over.

Ah, that's the deep dark secret that's hidden in plain sight. Tomorrow it will be more like $4720.37 and so on and so on. It's one of those things that's always there and we don't usually notice it because we see it all the time things. Here's the first hint. #28 :D
