I have been looking for about 4 months and have an add in the wanted section here and G503. My budget is exactly twice yours 10 to 12 K and I have not found one yet. You could buy an old CJ for your money that would run and not need too much work but I do not think you will find a Military...

I installed another heater very close to what you are doing in the back of a unit I had a few years ago. It made a big difference to the heat in the unit. I also used a step down transformer 24V to 12V and it worked very well. Watch how you run your wireing and water lines. Good luck in your...
