    I installed Webasto 2000 mainly because I could buy it cheaper locally.. Espar or Webasto are pretty simple, two years later trouble free.

    I love trucking !!! I have the best job on earth!!
    The only thing that would be better might be firing off the space shuttle and head for the space station to drop some vittles for the boys there for Christmas !!! LOL

    I want to drive until I hit 50 years !! I am looking forward to being a old man in a nursing home pinching butts and telling stories that start with you aint going to believe this #### !! LMOA

    I see them on eBay from 850 to 1100. Just want to make sure I can install one.

    pretty straight forward on the install just a couple of holes to cut and the rest is just mounting and running fuel and wires.

    You put in a pick up tube that comes with the install kit .
    That is one of the holes you cut . it is in your fuel tank .
    Or if you have one already there for a sending unit that is not being used you install the pick up tube there.

    It was all covered in my manual that came with my Espar unit .
