Hope I'm not high jacking this:
Right after TJ installed his "Bumper Plug" I ran out and got one. Then someone else mounted a small trickle charger under the hood. I combined the two ideas and put a toggle in a weather proof box along with a couple of small lights, mounted it by the bottom of the driver battery box and wired the whole thing to the bumper plug.
Throw the switch one way and your heater is on...throw it the other and the charger is on. I don't know how to post photos (Too dang old) but I think that TJ still has my set up on his photo album. I don't think that he would mind if you peeked.
