There is a full manual online at:
http://www.webasto-thermo.com/pdfs/97154A.pdf

I'd like to hook this thing up to a thermostat rather than a
timer. It already has a low voltage shutoff (see section
3.1.4.6 of the above link) so I'd like to use at night (I
have a Optima yellow top under the driver's seat, and 117L of
gasoline si I think I'm fixed for gas and power).

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Chris
