Looks like an aux heater. No comments on the picture. No hints as to
who posted it. What is the use? Where did you get it?? Looks like it
would make a heater for the bed room........Terry

I would sure like to know where it came from. I'm looking for something just like that to stick in my tractor when I'm plowing snow in the winter.

I was just down in the basement trying to decide how to make something like that. I was designing something out of 1/2" copper pipe with an PCV pile shell and a muffin fan. I can not find where I put the 12 volt muffin fans that I had so the project has come to a halt. I need to install this small heater before the snow flies.

The photo is tagged to Roger Black.

I hope that is some help in tracing ownership.

It IS an aux heater. On my transporter, there were several plumbed in
