Les,
I sealed up all the air leaks that I reasonably could,and put in heated
seats. Tammy says things like "Yeeeooooouuccchhhh! My butt is roasting.
How do you turn this down?" LOL
But if that hadn't worked, I had a backup plan... a small 12V electric
heater that you can get at most auto parts stores for about $25. Some
people use them to defrost the windshield too. Mine needs about 10
amps, IIRC. Mount it somewhere or just hold it in your hand.
