I would also look at the Everest by attwood. I have one in my adventurewagen and love it. I have also seem them installed in westies, I believe on gowesty site. The cost is a lot less. I've seen them on ebay for under 400.00 plus they are sold and repaired by many of the RV in the US. The unit it's self is bigger and would require venting out the side of the van. I've got a very good friend who is on the list who owns a propex. He has had nothing but problems and other then Karl for repairs or parts your out of luck.

Second, are they venting them through the floor or through the sie of the body?

I have on in my '90, installed by Karl, and it does the job. There are other solutions (like heaters powered by diesel or gasoline) but the Propex is the easiest to acquire and install.

I seem to remember that someone years ago had a small RV furnace put in a WESTY and running it off the propane tank. Anyone that has done this or has ideas please help. |
