No fuel fumes or mess. The 1000 is $999 at Costco right now.

If I'm going to spend that kind of money I want full 15,000 max to 5,000 min BTUs per hour the whole time I'm driving.
Plus I already have a 0.6kwh lithium iron phosphate battery with a 2000w pure sine inverter. It works ok. But I would kill it in a half hour. It wouldn't even make it to the next town over and back. Then if it's a cold snowy icey day that's when I need it most.
The whole point is I want the energy density of the fuel to save wear on the vehicle battery. I have about $700 in amp20 cells in my lithium power pack. So shifting the heating load to my power pack isn't much improvement.
I'm going to using this thing from October or November through march or April. Maybe longer, in 2018 I had hard freeze warnings into June. I would probably use it almost daily during those times.
