Thanks for thinking of me fellers. But that and others I've found in
the price range $15-$50 all look like they <might> be able to heat one
of my feet each on a trip over the pass in the winter. In a van the
volume of cold air coming in around the worn and rotted door seals
would replace any heated air immediately. Was able to heat my old non-
Westfalia VW van in the 70s with a propane fired catalytic heater, at
least enough for my girlfriend and I to get neckid for a bit mid-
winter. :-o
I doubt I'll be making any trips longer than 50 miles in the
foreseeable future, in the winter. Somewhere I still have long undies,
plenty of thick woolen socks, fleece lined boots and gloves from my
skiing days. I may even still have my sheepswool lined cowhide range
jacket somewhere. :-) (don't laugh, I also have all the modern
puffy wicking high tech layers as well)
No, my concern would not be heat in the car, but my ability to stay
alive should something happen and I have to abandon it in the
mountains during a storm. Emergency backpack and warm clothes are more
important.

I had one of those, (well something very similar in concept), for a
Volkswagen Beetle. The heater boxes were rotted out and I was
damned if I would spend almost $200 in parts to repair a car I'd
paid less than $300 to buy. You could warm yourself by the power
cord, and plugging it in would make the headlights dim...

here. But it's been that way for 12 years now. I deal with it. : )
My camera and lenses are already acclimated when I arrive at my
destination! (bought a new heater core 6 years ago, have yet to
install it
- it's a pain to do so, entails removing most of the dashboard)
You need one of these.

Faster and easier than swapping a heater core.
