seems to be a better issue ...
i am so pleased my diesel has a diesel heater factory installed under the
seat/bed
thermostatically and timer controlled to come on for lets say 10 minutes
every 40 minutes
though i am still having some issues with running it because i dont speak or
read  german
my girl does and she translated using dictionary.com translator but i am
still not proficient at it ...
my 69 BUN in which i installed  all westy parts was an iceberg in the winter

i used to hang a propane fired catalytic heater from the roof but i was
still in a state of advanced cold shaking nearly hypothermia  after a 40
minute drive
and in case anyone wonders ... A Bun is the round roofed type two
and Brick is the square "flat" roofed  model that followed ... so i was
told...
yours

There are two kinds of jobs in the world:
Picking up garbage and telling people things.
Successful people do both, with the same good attitude. (riw)
