    Yep. Made it today.
    Used a flanged spigot, allowed me to put a rubber gasket on it.

    I just did it for the off chance that it might try to leak past the threads.

    Is this the one you are referring to? It looks like it would fill the bed space as you said, but at less than 6" laying flat it wouldn't take up too much room.

    That's not bad, I wonder if you put a themselves blanket over it after the sun goes down how long you can retain the heat

    I made mine last night with the same parts you did. I tested it today and I was getting an air leak on the Clean out Plug. Did you use something to make a better seal? I tightened mine down so tight that I had to struggle to get it off and I was still getting an air leak.
