Got me a Mr. Buddy Heater

[justcruzin]

I wasn't sure where to put this so I decided it was a General. LOL

I drive my bus (bay window) to work and back in the wee hours of the morning or nights. I am having a hard time keeping warm, so I decided to buy me a Mr. Heater to use on my commute.

It arrived today and I decided to see how it would do in a moving bus. Trying to find a location for it is turning into a bit of a challenge. For my test drive I stuck it between the seats facing the front of the bus. Because of my cup holder, I have to have it slightly pointed toward my right leg.

I just went around the block and I can tell you, I should have got the "little' Buddy. LOL My leg was about to fry, and the heater was only on low. OUCH! LOL I'm not sure on how I want to handle the location of the heater. I'm thinking of having hubby build me a "mount" for the heater to sit in so I can put it on the passenger side facing me, but far enough away to hopefully not fry my leg. So it would be about where it is in this pic.

This location makes it kind of hard to get to the control, I will have to take the seat belt off if I want to turn the heater off while on the road. I would rather have it in the center so I can reach it, but I don't want to move my cup holder. It won't angle the other way ( away from my leg) with the cup holder in the way. I might try it behind the cup holder and just keep an eye on the holder to make sure it isn't melting! LOL Do you guy's have any suggestions on where to put it? Besides up my..... LOL :lol:

I can say one thing. I should stay warm on the way to work now!! LOL

Someday I may break down and get the Little Buddy and just use this bigger one for keeping warm on camping trips or at car shows. It will make a nice little personal heater while sitting outside!

LOL, actually I have enough heat from the busses heater to defrost my windows. I plumbed in a fan to push the hot air. It just doesn't warm the inside up that fast or that well. So the Buddy is to get me nice and comfy for the drive to work, as the defroster is keeping the windshield clear.
