I do not know where to get the WEBASCO (Canada, perhaps?), but I have heard that the rear fan set-up kills the battery rather quickly, and hence they may not be too practical for winter camping, especailly in Alaska. I think even with a second battery, it would not last the night with the rear fan running on top of lights, radio, etc. ....Indeed, the owners manual advises that you not run both front and rear fans at the same time at high settings with the engine running they are such energy hogs...... But I am only guessing.... adam grove wrote: > Hi, > > I have been following the Propex heater string for a while now because I > am interested in a heater for my 91 syncro westy.
