has anyone used it to heat a car or truck?

we haven't as of yet. But I think it would work just as well as heating any enclosed area....like a tent.

Hi I used it a couple of times and it gave a nice warm glow. I tested it and found that it was able to keep a person warm for several hours. I had trouble a couple of times when I lit the heater. It was probably because I was a green horn just hadn't used it before. I think it is a great buy. Frostbyte45

Yes, I use it to heat my JEEP Grand Cherokee when I car camp. I set the unit on the console and crack the back windows about an inch.. Kept me warm for 9 hours on a very cold and rainy weekend.

I used it in my Dakota regular cab a few times, it is enough to keep the windows from fogging up in 35degree temps and maybe keep the cab 50 or so with the windows completely closed. This what I bought it for and am satisfied with the results, better than tearing the truck apart to replace the heater core.

other than eating all the oxygen and killing you, if you well vented the vehicle it would easily heat the inside...even with 2 windows partly open for proper venting.

I use mine in my big truck. I use an electric skillet ane microwave, tv and dvd player.

Never has, It will run rough but not on certain cylinders sounds like a coil pack, plugs or wires to me

I use it on the oil pan of my diesel pickup to aid cold starting. I have no idea why you would need to heat a satellite dish but I would think it would over heat in short order.

I like it. It takes about 10 min to heat up. Cover it when preheating. I use it in my semi truck. It will eat your battery in two hours, so reduce the heat to less than a half for longer use

I have not had the opportunity to use it. It is very light weight.It is for small cars and anything up to 300 amps. It might starta V8 truck if the battery is not run down much.

I would say absolutely not. If it won't heat the small cab of a four wheeler, then it won't heat your truck camper.

Sure it can work, but it depends on your inverter. The heat pad draws 90 Watts at 120 volts. So make sure you have an inverter with enough power, and some leeway. A 120 watt inverter, or stronger, would be fine. Beware, this will drain your vehicle battery fairly quickly if you don't leave the engine running.

I can not answer that question, I use it to heat the oil pan on my 4 cylender honda car.

When I got off from work last night, I work second shift, there was frost on my car. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to really see if this heater works. I sat it on my dash board and it really didn't do the job. The blower for the heater isn't strong enough to do what it advertised that it does. I did like, the size of a lemon at a time. I then decided to put on my car defrost and it worked much faster. I worked well as a hand warmer. I became interested in this type of unit to safe on my gas when trying to heat my car in the winter (I didn't expect it to heat my car but at least help). This product didn't meet my needs. I hope I answered your question.

i have not tried it, even though it says so. Also the product retains only 1/5th of the heat . If some one can buy from me i will sell it. Not really impressed with the product

I use this on my geo thermal unit system with aux heat/emergency heat. I had to have the geo guy come out, but that was because it had to be programed. The instructions that come with it showed how to do this, but I guess I missed a step. Has been working fine for about 2 years now.

Yes! I use mine in a food truck. I do have exhaust fans and an air vent leading to the outside. The only tricky part for me is the propane tank. I keep mine turned off and only use the tank when I need hot water. It gets very hot very quickly. Love it.

I haven't had any overheating problems with the Hot Max welder. I have been using it to repair the body on my truck and it has performed fine so far. The use has been intermittent and at a lower current range for this work. I've been using it with flux wire instead of using the shielding gas and solid wire and the results have been adequate for this work that isn't in a viewable area.

I have not tried, but if you buy an outlet adapter for car, you can plug it in. I use this type of adapters to plug in my curling iron and other electrical needs. Hope this helps!

Yes, you can use it to keep things warm. It has an infinite control that goes to very low heat.
