I look pretty bright in THAT picture mate........
Heater & fuel tank ordered. Less than 2 months till we head west so will need to install it promptly.
Hi megcam, it's been a while since I've been on here and notice you looked at that awesome install of diesel heater in one of the first posts in this thread. 
A belated answer to the 2kw v's 5kw unit, I had a 2kw installed in the Hawk (tent on wheels) we had before this Expanda, (walls with tent on wheels) and it was easily enough to heat it. I went for the 5kw this time as there was no 2kw in stock and I was too impatient to wait for the 2kw unit. I've also installed 2kw units in a couple of other vans, both 19.61 Starcrafts and it is more than enough heat. Hope this late comment helps!

Thanks @mbr37746. It's good to know the 2kw will be sufficient. Plenty of things to look forward to here... parcels in the mail and trips away
Hi @megcam sorry I can't remember if I gave you an answer on this. As @17triton has stated, we are very happy with ours.
If you have a look at @17triton install photos that he has posted, it's the same way that I fitted it to our van. My only minor issue is the ticking of the fuel pump, which I will change location of where I mounted it and that should fix the issue. Tank of fuel lasts ages as well.

I haven't ducted the inlet. The heat hose gets very warm on the initial heating until temperature is reached so wanted to keep the plastic tubs away from it so that's why I put the ply in.
The Ebersparcher comes with a rubber mount, but it still annoys the bejesus out of the Princess
that's a good thing isn't it ?
That was really funny ... then she accidentally seen your post. I accidentally put the phone in front of her and said look what @mfexpanda said. Now your in trouble. Whoopsthat's a good thing isn't it ?
Yeah, i achieve a higher value generallyAre you sure it's the fuel pump
Just adding a link to this site http://www.letonkinoisvarnish.co.uk/Eberspacher_Intro_1.html for my future tinkering. Lots of useful info regarding the Eberspacher.
