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; http://westyventures.com/propex.html Attached image(s)
