How do you think a car is heated?? the Car heater works off the heat generated by the engine, which runs on expensive gasoline. Many big riggers use heat generated by body fat, which is retained by thick blankets or sleeping bags. And yes, if you are driving anyway, you can heat a small class B camper with the engine heater. Unless it is very cold, we can keep our class a comfortable while driving with just the dash heat. Running engine while parked is a good way to get carbon monoxide poisoning.
