Hi All, I'm running an '85 petrol DG and and looking for a night heater and Checking around on price and all of them are going to cost a bit.
Looking around on the forum the Propex seems to get the nod.
Anyone out there have any experience of the webasto?, seems to be one of the more expensive heaters yet I read of problems people have had on here.
So can anyone point me in the right direction from the kickoff and save me alot of hassle?.
Cheers all
diesel eber, just leave it ticking over on low, biggest current draw is on start up but will run for ages on low setting without flattening my 85ah leisure battery
I use propex and it's great....... fits in a little cupboard you can use butane or propane (lpg) available at most campsites. the latest poropexes are Very good

i've got a propex 2000 model and it's brilliant! yes they do use some gas, i have a refillable gas bottle that runs the fridge hob and grill aswell as the propex, but only costs a fiver to fill. have had a webasto in the past and it did well for a year. very thirsty on the battery and takes a while to heat up. the propex heats up very quickly, and doesn't have a massive power draw when it stsrts up! also has a fan setting just to circulate cold air!
I'll let you into a secret soruce of cheap ebers... all BT 1 tonne vans and up have em! If you go to a BT MT shop usually where all the vans/lorries are kept (not an exchange) there are usually 1 or 2 vans waiting to be sold on - IF you can find a nice mechanic there - don't try an do it thru a manager they usually wont help! - u can get a diesel one for as little as £20... U can also get a 2 burner stove an dgrill for erm £3.... Try it and see or also ring up the guys who buy the vans n chuck the backs away as they have been known to give em away....
Worth a try!
I work for Network Rail and our vans have them I have tried to get one from some vans they sell on, but to no avail (tight gits) I have a b2l petrol eber I am getting rid of from my westy petrol as I'm going AAZ so need a diesel eber going to try the BT one see what happens
I got a diesel Webasto and it it works fine , had a few problems with wiring it and keeping it running , but had it overhauled simply cos of age, but it is hot and doesn't seem to use up the battery too quickly
Try asking a BT mechanic n offer him the bribe...
Or like i say get find one of the numerous firms which jus chuck emaway tho they are wising up a bit now, goddam ebay!!

That looks the Daddy to me - but i bet its expensive! (Wonder what the reserve is ?).
RE gas being cheaper than diesel: Fair enough - but the bottles of camping gaz that fit in my gas cupboard are £15 each - and thats not cheap! I cant get anything else to fit in there!
