Propex heaters - inside or outside?
How mnay people have their propex/webasto heaters mounted underneath the van, and what are the pros and cons of this set-up compared to the usual under the seat placement?

I think you will find modern propex/webastos were not designed to go on the outside of the vehicle.

Webastos/Eberspächers can go outside - they make boxes for them for that purpose!

Re: Propex heaters - inside or outside?
With a propex I would put it in a box that is outside proof.
something galvanised would be ideal

Stainless is cheap enough - it doesn't have to be heavy gauge.kevtherev wrote:With a propex I would put it in a box that is outside proof.

£293.58 just for the box? Plus VAT?

Re: Propex heaters - inside or outside?
Yes.
They are not my prices - they are Eberspächer's, you can see why I think that they are overpriced. Mind you Webasto's will not be far behind.
