This from cutting 5 mm thick vinyl plank, about the softest thing out there to cut. I ended up buying a nicer cutter, because I had to do rooms in my house too. It makes the job much easier.
I ended up getting the same thing, except from Lowe's due to the veteran's discount. I will get pics of it when done.

I have been thinking about that, and will most likely carry a Big Buddy heater if I can use it with the TM's front tanks. I like it due to not needing any electricity unlike the stock furnace. I tested the Big Buddy I use in my shop and it heats the whole TM very well on medium, so a smaller buddy heater should also work well.

We generally camp fire cook or use an electric skillet. The stove did not work correctly and we already got rid of it.
