Im pretty much a nut when it comes to scent control, and wanted a scent master box for my truck. I decided last year to build my own, and it worked awesome.
Here's the parts list:
TSC deep truck tool box

Schumacher Power Inverter

Whitetail'R Ozone Generator

Woods Mechanical Timer

Boot Dryer

Misc Items:
50' Extension Cord
Milk Crate
Electrical Box
Electrical Connectors
2 conductor 16ga wire (20')
Female three prong plug.
I started by running the 2 conductor wire to where I was going to mount the power inverter. For me that was under the rear seat of my truck. I then ran the extension cord from the inverter to where I want the timer switch mounted. Then another with the other half of the cord To the mounted toolbox. I had to use a female plug to terminate the end inside the toolbox, and made sure to use rubber grommets around the cord anywhere it passed through steel or aluminum. This is a must, or you will have a dangerous situation on your hands. I then wired up the switch so that the timer would cut off the 120 volts from the inverter when not timing. I mounted the boot dryer using zip ties to the milk crate. Had to drill some holes in the plastic on the boot dryer for the zip ties to go through. I secured the ozone generator to the crate as well. Plugged the generator and the boot dryer into a power strip, and power strip into the extension cord from the timer/inverter. The unit will only be on any time the timer is timing as to not run my battery dead if I forget to turn it off. The timers come in many sizes, and I got a 60 minute timer for this setup.
So, after a year of using it, I have found it to work flawless. No leaks, my boots are always dry and warm. And all of my hunting clothes have the sterile ozone smell every time I get dressed. I have had zero dead batteries, and have found that when I park in the garage at night, all I do is plug an extension cord into the power strip to detox my stuff while I sleep. The nicest part of this is that the box is large enough to store and clean everything I have for all weather situations and also my backpack. Another plus is that when season is over, I just unplugged the power strip and took out the milk crate so that I had a toolbox all spring and summer. It was a pricey build, but way worth it. Nothing like slipping on warm dry boots and dry scent free clothes in December while your buddy is freezing his ass off getting dressed. I will post a series of pics to help out, and would be more than happy to answer anyone's questions or concerns.
