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.

So where are these heaters installed then.  are they installed under
the back seat or is anyone putting them in the small compartment next
to Fridge.  Second, are they venting them through the floor or
through the sie of the body?

the winter?CC: vanagon@gerry.vanagon.comI'll second the comments on
the Propex.  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.

ANyone have any ideas besides running a space heater off of the
secondary batery for heating a van for winter camping.  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.
