    There was an ad with one of the 4WD Action newsletters recently with some super duper special on these.

    Hi,
    I have one in a slide-on camper (Innovan) on the back of my D130 Ute.
    Very happy with the diesel version - more heat than I need in -5 C out side.
    Economical on fuel, but can be a bit heavy on battery using the glow plug if it is cycling on and off. Best to keep it running or turn it off.
    Consider the gas version if you are in a warmer climate than Tasmania. Some advantages are no pump, less Amps to start etc, but you have the hassle of nearly empty gas bottles at the start of a trip some times.
    Not sure if you need a gas fitter to sign the install for compliance with any regs etc - don't need that for diesel.

    Happy to answer any particular questions - PM me in case I miss the post.

    cheers

    The Keeper Of The Keys has forbidden open fires in the van,,

    pricing from a brizzy distributer,
    1300 for the small one,,
    and another 1K to install it,,,

    I can see the 1300,, but the install has to be by NASA techs,,

    Hi,
    I'm no NASA tech, it is not all that difficult physically, just join bits together.
    It does take a little deciphering the variations in the instructions, but that just means there is more than one way to do it.

    If you can drill a hole, cut a rubber/plastic tube, put in a screw, tighten a nut with a spanner, cut and solder a wire, honestly, you can do it.

    cheers

    I've done an incar preheater version install, I cant see it being much harder with the possible exception of needing to ventilate it.
