Firstly sorry if this is not in the right place as I'm not sure where to put this one.
I'm after ideas for blow heaters to go in my 1.9 DG petrol Devon moonraker that doesn't need to work off electricity.
Thanks, Adam.

HI, I recently fitted a propex heater into my van,, runs off the gas bottle & 12v system. they're a little bit noisey(as you can hear the fan) but lovely & warm.

Yes as above, we run a propex compact, makes using the van all year round a pleasure.

Eberspacher here, its great and once up to temperature you only hear the fan and quickly get used to it.

Does the propex heater cause damp like the little camping gas fires ?

No. The combustion is external, and only the heat gets transferred inside the van. So in fact, the warmth drives moisture out of the cab.

Plus if you eventually source yourself a small, used LPG tank and convert the outlet valve, you can fill up a darned sight cheaper than bottled gas via many forecourts. I use mine on the road in Winter and used to spend (on average) around £60 a year on bottled gas. That dropped to just £14 a year, so the saving is substantial.

Best mention the webasto.
Similar to the ever but as ebers aren't made that small anymore the little Airtop 2000 is a beauty.
Eber and Webasto are very quiet
Webasto have petrol versions and diesel.
No condensation from any blown air heaters.
