Paul another possibility is to build a small
'valve' if you want to call it that, which dumps the heat overboard when you
don't want it. That way you could use the heater all the time and not have the
heat. I'm sure someone else on here [building a Cozy] has mentioned this in the
past.

Hi,
Rusty....The heater core/fan unit weighs 5 pounds. I am going to have an
in-line heater valve so that I can turn it ON when it's 100 degrees
outside....It will act as another radiator. (Well,
maybe....depends on how my engine temps are running). It is, however a good
emergency back-up cooling system if needed. In a car, if you are stuck
in traffic at an idle, with the airconditioning system operating, and you
find your car is overheating, you can bring it back under control by turning
off the AC and turning on the car's heater. I'll just open the cockpit
air vents, and have a cool face and hot feet. But, if it allows me to do a
full power climb, I just might put up with the heat for 5 minutes.
Take care. Paul
