I can’t seem to find the exact answer I’m looking for by searching old threads so I guess I’ll have to pick some brains. I have a webasto 2000 st (not the newer stc) in a 780 Volvo and I’m wondering if it is big enough to be comfortable in our -40 Canadian winters? Unit possibly seems undersized but may need a cleaning or better vent placement? Don’t feel like finding out the hard way when out for a month or 2. Does a guy step up to an evo 40? Thanks in advance

You'll need two sets of thermal sleeping bags, thermal underpants, socks, sheets, etc. If working as company-driver consider that bunk heater defective. Good luck.

Seems like my 2kw starts struggling at 15 degrees. Maybe 4kw is better. I personally just idle when it's below 15 degrees

I woke up to -30F nice and toasty with my Wabasto and treated fuel last winter. I was up at Zion, IL and I was ready to do what needed to be done, but it survived the night just fine and started no problem since the bunk heater circulates coolant, and the truck is arctic speced for insulation of the sleeper.

Not sure which model, but I have used bunk heater only into the -30s and occasionally to -40. No APU, but trucks (ProStar, 73" hi-rise) also had Webasto/Espar coolant heater.
