I don't know that they're able to handle much more than the basic electrical system (lights, etc.) which most people have on their carts.....but I defer to others who have more specific knowledge.

Personally, we have a Coleman GolfCat propane heater that we use when it's REALLY cold outside. It's not necessarily for everyone - some won't like it from a safety consideration standpoint.....operating a propane heater in your golf cart. Fits in one of your cup holders. I put a small bungee cord through the handle then to two points under the dash to help keep it firmly in place. It tends to be a bit top heavy.

Bill, What does it cost per canister of propane? Hours of "fuel" in the canister?
