I installed one of these and last night was the maiden run. a 50ft extension cord (14ga) apparently got so hot it melted my bumper. This is the 1000w unit since they were out of 850w units. I am going to try a 25' 12ga cord and see if it helps.

I don't think I need to mention my car wasn't warm this am. Too bad, record colds here (1*f right now without a windchill)
