They also make 12V UTV heaters... I was thinking abiout trying one...
Sounds great if you have an easy way to access the engine coolant, which brings me back to the original post above..........I looked into various small heaters when building my cab last year and decided on one that ran off the engine coolant with a 2-speed fan. It's rated at 20,000 BTU's (roughly equivalent to 20X the output of those 12V auxiliary heaters.) Warms the cab from 0*F to flannel shirt in about 10 minutes.
The B7100 has an 8.5 amp alternator - yes just 100 watts of power. The heaters that I looked at run at least 10 to 15 amps. So an electric heater would be running off the battery to a large degree.They also make 12V UTV heaters... I was thinking about trying one...
Don't pump air in from the engine!!!!!!!!!! You might go to sleep.

Thanks, Donnie. The B7100 doesn't have a thermostat, but it has a similar housing, so I'll look closely to see if there is something there to work with.I have B7510 which I believe is very similar to yours. There is a small bypass line around the thermostat, about 1/2" inside diameter and about 3" long. ..........Donnie
