heaters who has what and what is best dont be shy

[vac 72 bay]

looking to put a heating system into the van when it cames back from the body shop.what have you and what do you recommend. :? i am possibly doing away with the heat exchangers as i am changing the engine and the new heat exchangers are shot so ideal oppertunity for nice heat,and nice exhaust system :roll: :wink:

Diesel Webasto to fit.....

Petrol Eberspacher to fit - came from a '72 bay so will look at the best location for it!

My '72 originally came with an Eberspacher (why did I sell it?!) which was located under the rear seat/bed - although I've also seen them mounted in the engine bay.

I'm looking into getting one of these.

Got an Eberspacher BN4 in the garage that I was going to fit in the engine bay (but isnt going to fit now with the twin dellorto 36s going in), so just picked up an eberspacher B1L which will go under the back seat, although my stock heating system works quite well when moving I want a bit of heat when stopped. Not looking forward to the conversation when the box turns up:
Whats in the box?
An eberspacher petrol heater for the bus.
havent we already got one of those in the garage?
err, yes but this one is different.

Got a propex 2000 in mine - only ever used it whilst parked (very good, too hot really!) though I have heard some say that they have used them whilst mobile - sounds a bit dicey in an accident situation though

FS 8)

 

[strongy]

got a propex 1600,not impressed,turns of when going over bumps and not much heat,if id known id have kept the heat exchangers :wink:

 

[tintintin]

I'm going to use a Propex HS 2000, do away with the heat exchangers and get a front heated window for the condensation. You are supposed to able to use it on the move as long as the inlet and outlet tubes are pointing backwards and away from each other. (Or so I've been told)

Obviously haven't done it yet so don't know if I'll be wearing snow boots when blown out of the front windscreen..

Knock up a suspension cradle for it Strongy, should be hot enough though the propex I've seen working kick out a phenominal amount of heat...sure yer thermostats not trousered....

 

[strongy]

it gets warm but not really hot could be the thermo i supose.ive not seen one in operation only this one

 

[Araon]

Ah right you wanna be able to drive around lincoln in yer skids....

 

[strongy]

now theres a thought :lol:
