    Chicago Parabolic 400W/800W Heater.

    Never have I stayed in a hotel, and I have a "big buddy" heater for my so-called fourth level of cold, but anything below -10 calls for a hotel and a trip south. Sent from my SCH-I545 using EO Forums mobile app

    Chicago Parabolic 400W/800W Heater.

    Funny you say that Jenny, I use one of those Walmart blankets as my 40-50 degree cover, use one at home also. Great blankets! Use the sleeping under 40 and add heater when under 20-25. Sent from my SCH-I545 using EO Forums mobile app

    Chicago Parabolic 400W/800W Heater.

    Well, got my 3 gal tank at West Marine and BERG extended run kit for my Honda generator online at Mayberry.com. It hasn't been cold enough for me to justify using it yet. My van is insulated well and I use a nice comfortable double wide -30 degree sleeping bag down to mid 20s because I don't...

    Chicago Parabolic 400W/800W Heater.

    Before I do a test with the heater at 900w I decided to get a 3 gal extended run tank for my Honda 2000. I will let you know how it goes as soon as I can. I have to admit though, this heater really magnifies the heat at 400w and I could just live with that, and get 8ish hours of heat.......but...

    Chicago Parabolic 400W/800W Heater.

    Ok, test one complete. I got about 9 1/2 hours with heater on 800w for a 1/2 hour and 400w for 9ish hours. I love this heater. 400w seems like much more because of the parabolic reflector that radiates heat like a big mirror. I am glad I got the 2 year warranty in case it can't handle a season...

    Chicago Parabolic 400W/800W Heater.

    So tonight I am trying my new parabolic heater with my Honda 2000 gen. On high, 800w, it barely increased the idle on my gen and warmed my cold van in about 25min enough to lay down and read before bed. I just backed the heater down to low, 400w, for the night and if no load will see how how the...

    Battery Bank Cables

    I am setting up a simple parallel battery bank with 2 marine batteries and have not been able to find the short connector cables at auto parts stores, truck stops, walmart, etc. I know I can order them online, but really want to start using my second battery ASAP. Any suggestions of where to...

    Chicago Parabolic 400W/800W Heater.

    I was doing some shopping at Harbor Freight yesterday and when I came across a Chicago 400/800 watt heater for $29.95. I never liked using a 1000/1500 watt heater because they were to hard on my generator and did not put out enough heat. This heater has a broad area of heat and it even...

    TA Monroe, MI - Oops!

    I did not see the E1 truck in the back ground DaveKC. Lmao! It must have been backed into because the pumo is leaning the opposite direction of truck traffic Sent from my SCH-I545 using EO Forums mobile app

    Truck takes out a pump at the fuel island. I did not get very close to it, but I thought there were big concrete post blocking the pumps? Sent from my SCH-I545 using EO Forums mobile app

    What load made you scratch your head?

    6 cases of BigMac containers during Monopoly game time from Iowa to Colorado. Never had to sign my name for a load so many times before or since. Could of had the big winner! Synthetic "skin" from Chicago to Eastern Kentucky for an operation. There are soooo many more! Sent from my SCH-I545...
