Shipper
Never have actually used them, but have the best quotes from Semper Fi Haulers (702) 419 7310, out of LadySmith, Wisconsin. They haul coast to coast.
I believe that they may also be a uShip hauler.

It draws maximum of 5 amps with a 6 amp fuse. I don't think it would be used during a time when you are maxing out on your heated gear. Shouldn't there be plenty left to operate this?
