I fitted that type of Eber for a mate in his Westy Joker, not that hard to do and all the wiring is there ready. One thing with that under-seat location, the heater is quite noisy when fired up, compared to the original outside location.

You`ll need a wiring diagram for the new iring loom to adapt it to what you already have, you can buy a CD on Ebay with all the Eber diagrams, codes, faulkts etc etc, well worth it for what you are doing. Make sure you get all the bits when you buy the heater unit, you`ll need a fuel pump and mounting bracket, the main heater unit (the control module is built into the new type Eber, dose away with the original silver relay box), the loom that plugs into it and a thermostat controller / combined timer. Also some heater hose and an outlet to fit into the seat-box face, some fuel pipe and a tee-piece to fit into the diesel fuel line from the tank

Did just this in mine... Ditto on the noise, considering relocating it to the engine bay.....
