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;

For motorhomes, the propane compartment must have venting under the propane tank to vent out any leaking propane, an the compartment must not be locked so it can be opened from the outside of the vehicle.

I think the best place to keep that propane bottle is next to the BBQ grill!

There are some photos around that do show an Eberspacher gas heater mounted in the front trunk that may give you some ideas of alternatives. It would be nice to see an alternative to heat exchangers.
