Hi
@megcam. Im usually a little reluctant to discuss my love affair with the single greatest invention known to mankind.
I installed the Eberspacher D2 in our 20.63.1. Opened up, the van is around 24ft, with one not very thermally efficient tent hanging off the end.
We have 2 ducts, centrally located under the couch with one duct blowing foward, the other toward the rear. The D2 heats our behemoth very, very easily.
In the period we like to call "The Pre Eberspacher Days", we were at the group meet in Nagambie and the tempertures plummeted to zero our Ibis aircon went into a cold induced coma at around 5deg and it was not pleasant. The blow heater struggled to keep the van over around 13deg
We were very lucky we'd a blow heater in the van for the bathroom or im sure we'd all be dead.
@Cindy had a D2 in their double ended 20ft Expanda. I walked into their van, they had one duct at the front, and the van was nauseatingly hot, the chicken sitting on the chicken bench was slowly cooking! .... we drove home Sunday afternoon and i ordered the Eberspacher Monday morning.
We're currently sitting in a freecamp outside Busselton, shhhh, doing school work with the Cruskett. It was 12deg when we woke up. Hit the button on the Eberspacher and within 20min or so the whole van is a comfortable 20deg
Its the most effecient, comfortable, simple heater. Once youve had one you cant go back.
The cheaper units such as the Planar get great reviews and are much much cheaper. We decided on the Eberspacher firstly because that was the one that impressed me, and secondly its computer controlled ... set and forget.
I also spoke to Dometic tech support during the install about some install question i had, and he mentioned the Ebersparcher is one of the only products they rarely ever get back for warranty.
Its true worth, like the Planar, is it works exactly the same, off the grid in the middle of nowhere. We occasionally put it on when we've stopped for lunch
My tips, put the fuel tank as close to the car filler, and the heaters fuel pump away from your bed. I sleep like a corpse, but like The Princess the dose pumps monotonous clicking may well drive you mad
