Hi All, With winter just around the bend, I'm looking into a furnace for the Truck. I have heard of both the Espar and the Webasto brand but know very little about either. Does anyone have any experience, recommendations, or comments about one or the other system?

Dependability?
Installation ease or difficulti?
Price?
Performance?

These things come to mind first, but please expand if you wish. I'm also looking for information on the best place (cheapest) place to order from.

Thanks

 

I am an old Unimog guy and most of those trucks come with a Espar heater. They are very reliable and easy to service. They are available in both gas and diesel. The older trucks were all gas and the newer are all diesel. Tons of service information is availabel on line. I have seen plenty available on the unimog lists on line and even some on Ebay. Can't remember the pricing tho. These heaters were also installed on the Austrian Pinzgauer trucks. Good luck and stay warm.

 

Don't know if this will help you but the Sprinter has an aux heater as as option. Wonder if the Dodge dealer could get some info as to what type of heater it is.
