I don't know if you were referring to my post or not, but I was not knocking
the Eberspacher heaters.  I was specifically referring to Kathy and Marks
Stewart Warner heater which seems to be meant for driving only.  I've seen
the Eberspachers in action as well at the first CCC's trip in Tobin and 
Christa Copley's van.  It seemed to do a good job.  I'm not sure if you
could mount the heater in the vanagon engine compartment or not.  Anybody
else know?
