Any Webasto or Espar heater fans out there?

[Archive]

I see a group purchase opportunity in the classifieds for a Webasto heater (TSL-17) @$679. 00 plus freight. And I've seen discussions about the Espar heater that put it at about $1500. 00
Seems kinda pricey to me, but I guess the fuel savings will pay for it.
I need to do something, I can't get an outlet at my work.

Any opinions?

Thanks again

They're probably gonna move this one to products/accessories, but I shall answer it here. I love my espar, have had it for a full week and I think it's well worth its price in gold regardless of how much less the webasto is.

I have Espar but right now it is in a box as I removed it from the 97 before I traded for the 3500. I will put it on this one but will have to look over the install instructions and see what I have to change beside getting reducers for the heater hoses. I have the remote and it works 300ft to 400ft from the unit. This would be the 2nd add on I would get as the exhaust brake is first.
