Looks like I could pop out the junction box in the bed of the Gladiator for an exit for the exhaust of a diesel heater. That's where my fridge sits, but I don't need a fridge in the winter anyway.

This is getting ridiculous. I need diesel for the heater, propane for my cooker, and gasoline for my truck!

Sometimes I can be dim. I’m thinking about a $2000 Jackery, $500 Cook Partner Stove, and how to install a diesel heater. Then I have to carry a battery, Diesel, and Propane. I forgot what’s been sitting in my garage for years.

Problem solved, 3000 watts of power and it will run all night on its tank of gas. Quiet also. Now I can bring an electric cook top, microwave(?) and electric heater.

Having 3000 watts of continuous power opens up new possibilities. Maybe I'll find a small air fryer. My home air fryer is a Ninja which does everything, air frying, backing, pressure cooking, slow cooking, searing, etc.

So I went camping again last night. It's funny that a site looks pretty flat, right until you get in bed and roll to the side.

I think I made a fix for the next sloped camping site.

Ever think about camper leveling blocks. There is 10 blocks per pack. You can also use them as traction boards when hooked together.

They do make gasoline heaters. Not just the diesel ones. Epic Family Roadtrip has one in their Jeep. It works well. And is plumbed into their LRA tank. But that's more of a permanent solution.

Here's the camper heater test. I have a Craftsman 3000I generator and a 750/1500 watt electric heater with fan and thermostat built in. The gasoline generator has a one gallon tank that is supposed to last 4 hours under full load. It has an energy savings mode that should last all night just running this small heater on a thermostat (we'll see).

This little heater may actually be overkill for the small space. It will quickly heat up the space though, when the truck is cold. Luckily it has a thermostat to maintain a set temperature. Hopefully I'll be testing it out this weekend camping.
