So I had to bring my liquid products inside. I usually keep everything in the back of my truck but I noticed one of my products froze and started separating :/ I haven't taken a look at what else may have been damaged yet. I hate having to unload all my stuff, that's the point of being mobile!!! lol

My girlfriends dad has a mobile resturant/office/home cleaning company. He has a lot of liquids and equipment in the back of his vans. At the end of the day, he leaves a simple space heater in the back of the van..... seems like a good idea.

Anyone else do this?

it crossed my mind to put one in the trailer once or twice. But then again it gets a lot colder in KS than it dose here in LA. haha. i was always worried about the possibility of a fire from a faulty heater and thousands of dollars gone. i Just keep the 100 gallon tank full of water during the night and it seems to help keep the trailer just a bit warmer than the outside and haven't had anything freeze. not too sure if this helps but im sure someone has more input

Same here Ben.......The trip is longer now but my products total quite an investment and I'm not about to lose any of them due to laziness..........

I have alot of paints & polishes in a 50gal plastic tool box. I bought a 12v heater from HF 12V Heater w/ Fan to help warm stuff up when I forget to bring it in. I can just put it in the box to help warm things up. Haven't had to use it yet so we'll see. Obviously this won't work w/ full mobile units. Probably should get a fire extinguisher too, just in case.
