    Artic heaters

    I purchased 2 heater kits form m1075 and they are great.Yes the heater box controls are the same. They are ment to be under the hood and the fan speed is constant only the air temp changes (15000 BTUs vs 30000 BTUs) from high to low. All the things they say about them are true, the heat they...
