Opinion Only, Had an Espar in a boat at one time. Worked OK. Was a little
noisier than the Propex in the Westy but never ran out of fuel. The tie
breaker was the cost. Espar is about 250% more money than the Propex.
Service and parts lookout.
If its a question of safety a 12v carbon monoxide and propane sniffer/alarm
are an other option.
