Awhile back I asked for some tips on how to preheat my S5 Subaru. The Soob is a bit temperamental starting when the temp goes below 35f so I asked for a heater that had a blower that worked off of 12v and was small enough to carry with me in the airplane. Someone (thanks!) clued me in on the Zodi tent heater http://www.zodi.com/web-content/Consumer/zodihotvent.html so I bought one and today it got its first test. It took one hour to get the engine temp up to 50f from 22f. This is right out of the box with no mods or anything. It retails for $149, but I paid $110+sh. Just shop around. I saw where one went on ebay for $55, but I missed it. I just finished ordering 10 feet of flex tube so I can move the unit a little farther away from the airplane.
The nice thing about it is that it doubles for a tent heater, duh!

For What It's Worth:
Just purchased a ZODI 24 volt heater for $99 + $5 shipping on sale at Costco.com.
I figured it's worth a try and looks very portable. I'll let everyone know if it fits in the pod.
Thanks for the "heads up" Deke Mikado.
