Adam, I was going to get this heater you mention when I ordered our '90 Syncro Westy back in 1989. It was a $1500 CDN option at the time, and my dealer advised against it as it was problematic, took up valuable space under the rear seats, and was a GASOLINE heater. Needless to say, I didn't get it.

Hope this helps Harry.
