I've got an unusual UTV, a Warrior 800. Like any open vehicle it gets cold trying to use it in the winter.
I got a soft cab for it which helps a bit, but it has lots of air leaks while traveling at any speed and even when parked.
So I added one of these inexpensive chinese diesel air heaters, what a turn around for cold weather.
This Saturday I was up in the woods with my nephew while he was dropping some trees, it was in the low 20's outside in the cab it was around 50.
My UTV,
with the soft cab on her,
inside the cab,
The heater, from outside,
the outside ducts bring the heated air in,
and the ducts in the cab, I have longer ducts ordered to get better heat distribution, they just reach inside now between the middle and passenger seats,
This is an interesting heater and they also have one for a water heater that is marketed for keeping cabs and engines warm when trucks are shut down instead of idleing. Might be an interesting addition for winter preheating with no outside AC power required just a low current draw DC power for the fuel pump and a couple of blower fans.
