Bunk heaters

Today not only Eber and Webasto make bunk heaters.

I can see made in HK (really China) Belief Heating (looks like copy of Webasto Air Top)

Five years ago Russian heaters appeared on market.
The company named Teplostar offers Planar Series

Later Plamtronic introduced bunk heaters.

And I'd say not so bad! They use brushless motors, may be not so sufisticated heaters like made in Germany, anyway all looks like with Chenese tires, low quality and price for beggining, but better and better every day!

 

Good price on the Chinese heater. Unfortunately I can't change the Russian to English, what's it say the price is?

 

$300-400 for kit

I'm not sure about quality but I gonna try to install it in my Volvo (I have Thermo-90 water heater), but I wanna heat cab only and use water heater for cold start only.

I want to try Planar-4D.

So if I will use it I'll share results

 

That seems like an interesting idea. I've been looking into it since you mentioned it the other day. Do you do extended waiting & 34s in your truck?

At 3 or 400 per new working unit, could be worth trying one out. What's the shipping & waiting expectred to be? Any reported reviews from users?

The specs on power & fuel draw when set on high setting seem a bit heavy.
Unless I'm reading things wrong the web as to DBW 2010 draws nearly the same. Assuming the air heater is working less therefore drawing less, must be your thoughts for this.

 

Just found info that Teplostar and Belif are not certified in EU and USA.

But I'm sure if I pay for it it will be delivered from China easily.

Now I try to collect responces of users.

 

The specs on the Teplostar look a bit like its a power hog.
The Belief heater warms your coolant.

Most reputable diesel heaters draw less amps, so on. Have you looked on eBay at all?

 

yes, but..... Webasto and Eber are much more expencive!

Belief makes warm air heaters and coolant heaters too.

 

Eber ?? Or do you mean espar

 

we use to call it Eber becouse full name is Eberspächer
