Folks
Along the same lines (alternate heaters), Revington TR in England sells a
heater upgrade using a Clayton 4kw heater unit. It is a bolt in kit for the
TR2-3b series. A bit expensive, but is very nice, includes the outlets for
the defrosters and has left and right cockpit outlets that are adjustable for
L/R, U/D. For those curious, the part no on their website is: RTR1395K
