    Handling Rough and Washboarded Roads at Speed

    My usual trips consist of 300-400 km of pavement, 200 km of quality dirt road, 100-200 km of terrible, washboarded, pot-holed dirt road and then a final 20-30 km of track with maybe a last KM of real off-road.

I've a series 80 Land Cruiser and I'd like to have a propane heater that sits outside and provides coolant-based heat to the interior for the coldest days.
