I ave to admit I was caught out a few times over the past months with van-freeze....now I am thinking about something like a Webasto of Ebspacher type diesel air heater....anybody had any dealings with these heaters?

Cheers
Dave.

A mechanic I very occasionally speak to in B'ham used to sell them(diesel) for £100. He got them from old buses. I bought one from him about 8 years ago. They are very good. If u want a gas one you used to be able to buy ex BT van ones for £25. I think I have one in my garage that I never got round to using in my caravan.

the gas ( made by propex ) are now alot more money, after everyman and his dog started to convert vans to campervans

i have a Webasto heater, its still in the box from germany

i allmost had a deal with a Ebspacher dealer in germany, but i think he found out how much they were worth in the UK and got in contact with a dealer in the uk, the deal fell though

A webasto will now go for about 150 quid with the eber slightly more

new hydronic eberspacher diesel heaters are expensive around 600 - 1000 but ideal for wfp use after the pump. The complete unit comes with a electric controller to adjust temperature etc.. some might go second hand around 150-250 on ebay. Ive been llooking at getting one.
Eberspacher do hot air diesel heaters which would be ideal for overnight heating in the back of your van. Or even a electric overnight heater from cleantech would do the job.
