Propex gas or eberspacher petrol heater??????

Post by **alexmehrban** » 23 Apr 2008, 17:20

Hi guy's,,, i have a T25 air cooled, looking to put additional heater in and just wandering what you guys thought of the above and why you chose or prefer a paticular system.

Im swayed towards propex gas as it is quieter and easier to fit.

One thing why do we need additional heating? if van is connected to a hook up can you not just run one of those little electrical heaters?

if your swayed by the propex.then go for it.

i have a ebber myself.theres more to go wrong with an ebber.but they are cheaper to run that a propex...(mind you looking at the price of diesel im not sure)

propex over petrol ebber.........gas is safer than petrol, derv ebber over both.

and yess as long as you are only cold on fancy sites, electric fan heating is fine....its crap if the site has no hook up tho.......

im just thinking out loud here, is derv ebber not noisy along with the petrol heating and gas is quiet?

i would of thought gas is cheaper to run,

ebber are no noiser inside than propex, once they have fired up..........outside they are a bit noisier, although i was parked next to propex that was louder than my ebber not so long ago...... there isnt that much between them tbh........

Where do these things fit then? outside or inside? i was thinking the gas could fit underneath the back seat?

my propex is fitted under the sofa

depends how much you value the storage, DL1C ebbers fit nicely up under the glove box, using space you cannot use for anything else......

great think that sorts it, so propex gas it is and fits under the sofa...

just one thing i notice you have a 2L petrol Aircooled same as mine, what do these do to the gallon?

Hi Dave

I've got a petrol eber and am thinking of doing as you have done and putting in a d2 instead, any chance you can post a couple of pics of your installation?

Cheers
