Webasto Air Top 2000 STC Diesel 12V air heater FULL set | eBay -
Thats exactly what i have ... Probably same seller , pls make sure its got all the ducting for air ... Mine didn't have it even though it came sealed, had to figure out . Also check what thermostat its got , i would pay maybe $50 more to have digital one with led display
Wajid8705 Thanks this. -
2nd image of all the things come in the box.
I seen led display ones I think with Chinese brand.
Yours came with temperature sensor? Some reviews on Amazon says unit stay on the whole time, you need temperature sensor so it will cut off once reached desirable temperature .
I didn't see temperature sensor in list of things that come with this unit.Attached Files:

The problem with this design. If your heater is mounted under the bed, on a really cold night, it will be extra cold under there. So even if the air temperature in the sleeper is comfortable, the temperature sensor will be detecting the colder under bed air. So it will crank out the heat.
I’ve had it so bad, that I was sweating inside the truck, turned the controller all the way to minimum. But it still pumps out maximum heat.
Two solutions. Get the digital controller, it has its own temperature sensor. Or you can buy a remote temperature sensor kit, which I use.Wajid8705 Thanks this. -
Webasto unit has a temp sensor inside the intake, so you need to put a duct on it and get it inside the cab also. So it's basically will suck the cabin air thru one pipe and put the hot air back into the cabin through another pipe. Then when the unit senses the air is already warmed up, it will shut itself down
Find a truck with a Webasto already installed and you will see what I mean. Pretty much all the newer Volvos have them factory installedWajid8705 Thanks this.
