[QUOTE="Tathradj, post: 616721, member: 2436"] I have a cheap 2 - 5 kw one installed in our 18 ft Dual axle van and it is brilliant. Yes, It draws 10 amps when starting and sounds like a jet turbine when starting. I have had no problems at all with it. 10 Liters of diesel last's nearly 2 weeks if used for an hour at night and Morning With temp set at 16 degree's. Grab yourself enough fuel injection hose from an auto parts store and run it from your fuel tank to pump. But not from the fuel pump to heater. Through Winter about once every 2 months, Let the fuel run low but not out, Put a litre of Kero in and let it run full throttle. After about 1/2 an hour, Refill with diesel. This will de coke it. Be prepared, The inside of the van will go to 35 degree's. Mount the controller where it will not annoy you at night and also not in a draughty area. They mostly come with a fob remote. Hang it some where close to your bed. All in all, You will not look back again if you get one. [/QUOTE]
