The heating in the bus is about as good as it gets with heat exchangers, it gets comfortably warm in the front.
However, the rear proved to be more of a challenge. I initially bought a Propex, but the gas bottle storage proved to be a headache. I have a smallish gas bottle for the cooker, but I know that this would not power the Propex for long.
The solution was either an Eberspacher or Webasto, but most of these seemed to be either diesel (again bringing fuel storage issues) or they were engine bay mounted which again was not an option as we had the leisure battery in that area.
Having searched around & asking on here (Thanks John The Horse
), I found that Webasto make a petrol powered one.
Here. This solves my fuel storage problem as this can be plumbed straight into the fuel line to the engine.
So it was fitted today & all I can say is WOW, it is so toasty warm (a little noisy perhaps), its neat, compact & virtually invisible.
I had it fitted under the Rock n Roll bed, tucked well out of harms way, the only visible part is the outlet. There was not a great selection of outlets, I think there are better looking ones available, just need to keep searching.
The only control is the rotary dial which is nicely hidden from view.
The main unit sits very neatly out of harms way under the Rock N Roll bed, just got to block off the original vents now to ensure the maximum heat gets to the fornt.
The only visible part underneath, the exhaust exits just in front of the rear wheel.
Initial impressions are really good, it gets so warm, we quickly turn it down to 1/4 power, its great to have it running whilst driving.
Overall, very happy with it, no excuse not to use it now
