I have espar, love it. Keeps me warm -15F no problem

I run an espar bunk heater. Never touched it in 10 years now. Run it occasionally in the summer and probably everyday in the winter. I have 4 batteries in my truck and they last around 3 years before they start to get weak. With the additional small engine heater it should start anywhere without an issue.
bourbonst79, KB3MMX and Gumper Thank this. -
Have had both, find the espar units to need less maintenance. If needed, the overhaul kits are not expensive.
blairandgretchen Thanks this. -
Sounds like espar is the way to go. There’s a couple dealers close to me I’ll have to call. I’m betting I’ll wind up installing it myself to save some cash unless someone gives me a good deal.

If you are doing most of your driving in MT or that region where the temps are brutal, ask about a separate kerosene tank, it may be something that you will want to look into.

also he may need D4 model that has better heating capability.

The bigger unit is not recommended. It will hardly run near its capacity and will get loaded up with carbon. The standard bunk heater is more than sufficient.
