    Its a small black space heater. Infrared with a remote. About the size of a 24 pack cube of soda.

    I got the infrared because if I need to roll out in a hurry,.. its cool enough to store away in less than 1 minute.

    Just looked on Walmart,. This is the exact one I have.

    This is how I have mine set up.

    Power comes from the 3 prong 30 amp plug on the generator. Its hard wired to a household 4 plug outlet.

    I use a window AC on a home made window sill.

    I stay out on the road for extended periods so I can afford to come home and enjoy myself for 2 - 3 weeks at a time. So while I am out,.. I like to be able to enjoy a few simple things from home. Satellite TV, a fridge and freezer large enough to store proper foods, ice cream, frozen steaks, sausage, bacon, eggs, fruits and vegetables, lunch meats, milk etc. I do very little fast food and avoid truck stop food at all costs.

    Being able to cook yourself a home cooked meal and then enjoy some television while eating dinner,.. later falling a sleep with the AC and TV on makes me feel relaxed and comfortable as when I am home.

    Is that enough pictures for you?
    .

    If your going to be out here like I am,.. this is one of the most comfortable ways to be.

    I did not make them personally. I have a good friend who does custom metal fab work. It was cheaper to have him make them to my specs along with the rack to mount them to the frame. Total cost was $750.

    I tried to find some cheaper ready made boxes.. but came out to over $1100 if I'd gone that route.

    He has a shop in Brooksville. I can PM you his phone# if you want to call him.

    You might try KSH Marine. They made the box for my generator for $240. It is a different setup, but they might have something already that would work, plus the do custom fab. Just do a net search on them.
