    To see how it works go to the espar heater website. We had them in the truck with the last company I worked for. They work pretty well in the winter. Don t dial the heat too high or you ll roast yourself

    Ok, I was messing with the controls back there and looked at another driver who posted a youtube video...This runs with the truck off......I can get the fan to come on but when I press the heat button nothing happens......

    It sounds like you have a regular bunk heater that uses hot water from the engine. If it is an independent heater like a wabesto or a Espar, there would be a sticker on it saying so with a shield around it to prevent things from being placed right on it.

    If it's getting power and fuel then most likely needs a screen and igniter.

    Good way to let it clean it self out is to hook up a battery charger to the batteries. Turn on the heater full blast and let it run wide open 2-4 hours.
