Oil filled radiator heaters

[Mountain View Carpet Care]

They put out enough heat to keep a Chevy EXT from freezing in 28-29 deg weather?

I don't know about a Chevy EXT, but it keeps my Astro above freezing front to back.

If you use some insulation on the floor and sides, and a way to circulate the air, it should protect at much lower temps than 29-30*. I used a small ceramic heater, when they first came out, and it kept the Astro warm in even the coldest weather. The only problem was condensation on the cold metal sides of the truck.

at those temps you should be fine.
pret' near a sure thing if it's in a garage out of the wind

matter of fact, i don't even put heat on in the van at night at those temps *if* the van has been working that day.

The little 1500wt ceramic heaters are better though.

with either, be sure to use a 12gauge wire extension cord and not the the cheapie 16ga wire cords.
Don't use a 50ft cord either if you only need 25ft

I used to use a radiator type heater in my box truck but i found that on the coldest night, the heat would rise right off of the heater and right out the roof. My hose reel near the far corner would freeze up or come close to it. And the heater would run continuiously sometimes. I switched to a ceramic type that moves the air around and it has been much warmer in the truck.
