Abstract: Camping apparatus for heating an interior of a portable habitation. The apparatus comprises an interior heater for heating the interior of the portable habitation. A heat transfer device uses fumes emitted by a fire to provide heated air. Transporting apparatus transports the heated air from the heat transfer device to the interior heater. The interior heater is disposed at a first location and the fire is disposed at a second location. The first and second locations are disposed sufficiently apart from one another to prevent the fire at the second location from spreading to the portable habitation at the first location. The transporting apparatus has a length sufficient to extend between the first and second locations.

Abstract: Portable apparatus for selectively heating and cooling an object. The apparatus comprises a container for enclosing the object. A conduit transports a portion of an output from an air-conditioning system that selectively heats and cools an interior of a motor vehicle. An attaching mechanism attaches the conduit to the motor vehicle and places the conduit in fluid communication with the output from the air-conditioning system. A connecting device connects the conduit to the container and places the conduit in fluid communication with an interior of the container for selectively heating and cooling the object enclosed in the container.
