Anyone interested in absolutely new, complete with installation parts and
instructions Eberspaecher B2L heater ( gasoline burning ) made in Germany
specifically for installation in Westfalia or Vanagon? Price - $1750. The
quietest, the most efficient heater I ever dealt with in my close to 30
years heater business.
 Interested, have questions? Contact me.
