    I live in a 2006 Citroen Berlingo van which is very small and now in the winter months it is cold no matter how much insulation I have in it, except here in England UK we don't get the freezing winters you get, what I wear to keep me warm is a Thermal Coverall like a boiler suit and a lumberjack thermal shirt over the top if it's really cold, as mentioned in my previous comment stay safe dear friend

    Wow, so fantastic! And may God bless the benefactor who made this happen- thank you so much for caring 👍🙏👍 Hcalory is supposed to be one of the better Chinese brands for these. Read the instructions on how to set these up safely. Check out vids on upgrades for these to quieten the pump and for fuel lines, some of the green and clear ones are supposed to not be so good. The air intake should be outside far enough away from the exhaust to not draw in fumes from there. I'm sure you'll optimize the setup once you learn how it works. It will sure be cheaper to use than the Buddy heater and safer too. Man I'm glad you've got this thing. I hope to order one of the cheaper ones this weekend for myself.

    Thanks to the fella who got you that heater. Also, if you need more wood, check behind stores, you can find some old pallets that they throw out, also check local housing development, they usually throw tons of good scrap in the dumpster and those guys will usually be happy to give it away. Keep your head up man, things will come together. Life's a garden, you gotta dig it, plant good seeds, and when the time is ripe, the harvest will be plentiful. Keep on keepin on. What doesn't kill you, will only make you stronger, one day you will look back at all of this, and the story will be told. Be sure to point that exhaust at an angle to where it won't blow back into the direction of the truck, don't hesitate to put an extension on it temporarily as you use it. You ain't alone brother!
