Optional Clean Heat, my attemp for gas heat Options

[sixnotfour]

I live in the PNW and wanted to try a different approach.
1. clean no motor air
2. Instant with out motor running.
3. not gasoline.

Reading about auxi. heaters for years, I always wanted a Wabasto Esenbacher OR
or similar, with the no idle laws in place they became much more affordable, but run on diesel, yes they make gasoline (not what I wanted)
Price new 1100-2000

Searching around I found a propane fired unit Propex hs200, $700
more the teener price range.

I did consider the deisel wabasto ,but I dont like the smell of deisel and propane has the nasty odor for saftey.

I was still not sure how the thing would perform so I did a quicky install.

I only had to drill 2 - 1 inch holes and various screw hole , not bad.

As I said this is the quicky install for testing.............so far so good.


here is the unit;

I think the problem isn't from a crash. It if from gas building up from a leak. Then the front trunk becomes a bomb.

True , but I removed the 2-3 inch floor plugs and layed screen over them. Propane is a heavy gas, The heat and pressure build up , If it should happen and the OPV opens, again it will go out the bottom.

It is not for anything more than to draw out other idea's . I didnt want a permant install and under $1000,
Now I would buy the gas wabsto or esnbacher .


Doc , I wanted instant heat without the motor running.
