Night heater (Eber.) - Not under the rear bench tho!

Post by **Yozza** » 28 Sep 2009, 18:26

Ay up,
I've got a Eber heater on the way, and the plan is to install it for some winter camping missions in my homebrew camper. However, the traditional location for these heaters is under the rear bench seat. However, I've got a 70l gas tank in there!
I was thinking about fitting it under the van, but I'd like to know if any of you good folks have alternative suggestions? Anyone else had this dilemma?

You can fit it in the passenger footwell under the glove box. That's where I've just put mine.

In that case thanks Matt. It works a treat.

Thanks for the info and the pic. Didn't consider it under there, but that looks a very tidy solution. Was the install fairly straight forward or are there any hidden nasties that I should know about?

just make sure there are no wires anywhere near the exhaust pipe after fitting as it gets pretty darned hot..

Thanks for the 'heads up'. Another related question. Does anyone know where I can get the Tee for tapping into the fuel line? I think the size needs to be something like 10-6-10? (It's Petrol Eber).

that will be the old d2l.the d1lc was never fitted to these vans.and was designed to be an interior fitting.

the biggest issue mounting it under the glove box is , as R0B said, keep the washer pipe away from the zorst.
i melted mine the first time!!

the t peice should be available from any lucus center, or shandlers
