Interesting alternative to an Eberspacher/Webasto AND available
in 12/24V AND has a built in fuel tank so useable in a petrol
too ...
Not cheap BUT about 1/3 the price of the equivalent option of
eber/etc AND brand new guaranteed,Might whiff of curry on first
start up as they're from Bradfordistan :smilewide:

Well spotted Ian - I'll post this over on LRCC as there are
several folk looking to spend almost that on a 2nd hand Eber!
Only problem with these (including Eberspacher and Webasto) is
the power consumption. Fine if you're just away for the weekend
or just use it and hour before bed and in the morning, but they
draw almost 5A continuously so even a good 115Ah leisure battery
struggles after a couple of all nighters, especially as they cut
off at less than 11.9V :2mo5pow:
We've got Eberspachers in both our Carawagons, and I've got
another waiting to go into one of my project Carawagons, but
I've also got a Riviera underfloor heater (from a 1970s folding
camper) which runs on gas with no 12V supply needed - that might
be going in one of mine for extended winter camps :thumbs:

These guys are no longer registered as ebay users. Not a good
sign for their product.

After a successful first bulk buy earlier this year, I've just
received the second batch of the 'Webasto' heaters HERE
