I would suggest a TSL17 engine heater with an AT2000 bunk heater combo kit(or the Espar equivelant) They draw much less amperage and are all most guys up here in Canada use that don't have APU's...some guys even have them with APU's to keep the hours down.

I'm looking at one (tsl 17) on ebay now for $800 for everything except 7 day timer. I think I'll jump and get it.
Edit-He'll give me the 7 day timer for $100 more.
