Yes I have one in my Avenger,as far as keeping the windshield clear its so so at best,the problem is not heat its condensation,in your car or truck the air conditioning cycles while on defrost helping to keep the moisture down,in the argo the melting snow and your breath create lots of moisture,that said love the heater for them cold frosty fall mornings and lots of fun doing the driveway in the winter in my shirt sleeves while the neighbor freezes to death behind his snow thrower.

I have a small blower off of my air cooled engine, It ducts air off from the box around the exhaust into the cab. I do not have a picture

Same principle the old volkswagons use, and my 2011 Kawasaki Mule uses. Very Resourceful!

lots of snow cats, and commercial equipment that run in the winter up here in Alaska have a small fan on the top inside of the windshield to blow air on the windshield? There must be a reason for it, the only time i see these fans running is when it is winter out, that may also help with the condensation issues.

Not much is going to help you in Yellowknife in keeping the windshield clear. Bottom line, it just takes too much heat and air flow in -30 to keep the entire windshield clear with defrost heat. You probably know what I mean in -30 in a vehicle, and the argo can't put out near as much volume of heat and in a way more leaky environment. Added to that the light snow is so fluffy that is whips up constantly and sticks to the warm area on your windshirld. I have the factory heater in my Avenger and it is warm enough to melt the snow for about a 5 inch area on the windshield, but all after that it becomes a frozen mess of ice/.snow. I usually just turn the defroster part of the heater off and leave the cab outlet on.

I use a 12 volt heater that I plug into my cigarette lighter. It has a swivel mount that I can point at the windshield. Once I drive a 1/4 mile, it defrosts the windshield.

Which model 12 v heater do you have? I see a number on ebay for sale...what's your wattag? I see lots of 200 and 300 watts...
