Hoping to find eletric heater for 66' Bug.
I have a 66' Beetle that I am driving. It needs restoration (heater chanels, etc) but I need heater/defroster now. I was wondering if anyone knows of an 12v eletric heater that would work until the restroration is done.

Im not sure if you'd want to take it this far, but I have used a DC to AC inverter and ran a small ceramic heater off the inverter. I dont recommend this with a generator, Only with an alternator.
Some inverters can be quite expensive but his is definitely the best way to heat your bug up. you'll need to get a ceramic heater that has a thermostat on it otherwise you'll be rolling windows down and flipping triangles out etc... Anyway if you go this route you wont need to fix your heater channels I had used this in my Baja and the heat would run you out if I hadn't wired up an on off switch. However it does work great.

electric heater - not rec for generator?
I'm in the same situation of needing a heater for my bug but I
have a generator and wondering why you don't recommend the inverter solution for a generator? Even for short runs? Appreciate your feedback! Spunky : >)
