Fule burning heater

Hi - asked this question on the Disco section - but do any of you long haul guys have any experience of these? Either OEM or after market such as the Webasto units? Was wondering about their efficiency and safety etc.

I bought an eberspacher D1 for my old 110 station wagon. I didn't fit it in the end cos after a trial my landy was TOO hot. We use them in a couple of the trucks at work. They are still TOO hot. You wake up sweating.

you can fit termostat controls to the ebers, so they onl kick in when the temp in the cab drops to a certain level. you can also get them on timer so they kick in before you even get out of bed and get to your landy i think you can even ring it from your mobile to activate it!

how much this all costs i dont know

They are very efficient, you can get timers and they are thermostat control . You can also get them with heat exchanger to act as engine heater. a must if you intend artic type travel eg northern europe in winter or Russia etc HTSH

Yup I do - Northern Lights and Arctic Highway. Still trying to see if any Disco owners have a standard fit item on theirs. Doesn't seem to have been a popular extra by the looks of it. I am familiar with the electric powered engine heaters after a few visits to the North.

These seem like a proper job. bout 200 squids on fleabay eh. Might have to go on the list!
