OK Those sound interesting, what exactly are those?

Although from experience a heater in a popup is almost futile. Makes a great hand and foot warmer and might warm it up a couple of degrees to take the edge off, but it'll never be shirtsleeves in freezing weather.
That was something I was wondering about. Figure the tent walls can't be too much for insulation.

Our Libby has a different trans than the gas ones since its a diesel, but either one will benefit from a transmission cooler if you are towing (if you have FACTORY towing package you should have one). It shouldn't cost much to have one added if you don't, If you are handy you can get a kit and DIY it for under $50.
Yea ours is the 3.7 gas with the auto trans. Is yours the diesel with the manual? I much prefer a manual transmission in any vehicle, but my wife certainly does NOT. Ours has the factory transmission cooler, with this option it is rated to tow 5000lbs, but I probably wouldn't want to do that over a long distance.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the good advice. I plan on camping in areas that don't have any hookups from time to time, that is why I was looking at the gas oven.

I have a friend who is a professional welder, so making something up shouldn't be a problem. I didn't know if there were any DOT regulations as to transporting bottles, had to be DOT approved or something (Did I mention I was totally new to all of this ๐ )
Yea the Liberty is surprisingly good at towing, more than enough power from the engine. I think the tranny is probably the weak point in it though. I've pulled many loads of firewood with it.
Thanks everyone, this is great info, really enjoying hearing from everyone.
