My friend Jason told me about that and said he was gonna do that in the
vantastic but one question...what about defrost? or is that an issue with
that much heat? the curtain idea is a definate thanks for the tip.

HEAT? Inna BUS???? Actually I use a PRO-CAT heater from Coleman in the Road Dog...gets damned toasty in there! When yer travelin' alone (like me, most of the time), hang a curtain just behind the front seats to help hold the heat up front. Damn, I DO travel alone a lot...(whisper tone - is it my personality? - end of whisper tone)....
ANYWAY, those heaters run around $80 and use those little propane tanks... BE SURE TO GET THE PRO-CAT with the fan, though! The fan-less heater is just a hand warmer...barely.
Happy Busin'!

"The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. I've never seen anybody really find the answer-- they think they have, so they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer."
