Fixed reverse-cycle air conditioning/heating in the living area on the Trailblazer, and a plug-in fan heater on the HiTop and Voyager; driver's cab heat only on the Maverick and Warrior 4WDs

Every one of these runs off 240 V mains, so nothing heats the living area away from a powered site. The Warrior has no mains hookup at all
