Subject:      Questions about Gas Heater from 82 Diesel
Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi all,
I am considering buying an auxillary heater from an 82 Diesel Westy to put
in my 86 Gasoline Westy GL, and was wondering if anyone out there can offer
advice on the following:

Can the aux heater from the diesel run on gas.  The seller thinks so but i
want to make sure before i buy?  If not has anyone ever installed a small
diesel tank so they could use one of these heaters in their gas westy?

Is the installations possible?   How much of  a PITA is it?

Is this a good heater for use when camping?  How is the amperage draw?  Is
it practical to run all nite on one aux battery.

Your help is greatly appreciated.  If I make the swap ill post the results
to the list.

Thanks very much,

Andrew Fox
