Did you factor in the mammilian heat produced in your calculations?

Roy, you camp with two large dogs. That's cheating.
The BTU calculators are imperfect at best. I tried 3 different ones. Using the same numbers, all 3 came up with different BTU requirements. None of the calculators requested a measurement for "mammalian surface area."
in my pet grooming truck, i have found the wind to be a significant factor. High winds can suck the heat out. Parking in the sun is hotter than parking in the shade.
