I camp frequently with Marc and I'll add, even with a muffler, the Webasto is very loud outside the van. It soundsmarc said:I used to have an XPCamper and it had a Webasto Duel Top. This unit provided heat as well as hot H20 and worked very well.
In my Sprinter build I installed a Webasto diesel bunk heater tapped into my main fuel tank and it also has worked very well.
I highly recommend either Webasto or Espar.
Instead of an electrically powered fan, have you looked at a Stirling engine fan? Put it on the hotter side for more air flow. No electricity required. More expensive, perhaps, but think of the warm fuzzies from using a more eco-friendly solution.Wandering Sagebrush said:--snip--
We put an ECO fan on the cooler of the two burners and use it instead of the fan in the lid. --snip--
I believe Wallas makes a heater only version.

Not a stirling engine, it uses a dissimilar metal stack to create a small current and drive the fan. I believe that is the Peltier engine technology.PaulT said:Steve,
Is your fan the Peltier driven unit?

I was able to fit the HS2000 inside the old refrigerator compartment on my Eagle.

What did you do about routing the hot exhaust? I had initially just made a 1" hole and ran it through that to the outside, but have since made a 2" hole and attached an alum plate with a 1" hole over that, and fed the line through the plate. Distributes the heat a bit better so less chance of fire.Roaming_Eagle said:I was in between a Webasto diesel heater and a Propex propane furnace, I opted for the latter just from experiance it was going to be easier to maintain and less noisy.
