Installing Espar cab heater

Could you guys tell me which is the best espar model? Also is it hard to install it yourself?


Thank you!

 

Either the D2 or the D4. About 2 hours install time if you take it slow and easy. That's a general estimate. Might take some people an hour, might take others three. It's not really too tough.

 

D2 Airtronic is the most common one. Set aside a couple hours for installation, make sure you have the necessary tools and a plan for exactly where it will go under the bunk and where and how the air will blow into the cab. Also make sure you are prepared to drill a larger hole in the top of your fuel tank. The job is not difficult as long as you have everything you need before you start, and a plan for where everything will go.

 

You won’t have to drill a new hole in the tank if yours already has an unused spot.

But may I suggest you do like I did? But a 5 gallon lawn mower gas tank and mount it somewhere along the frame rail.
Not only does this save you from drilling another hole, but then you can fill it with number 1 or even kerosene for the really cold nights.

 

Is this the right one?



Espar D2 12V Truck Bunk / Sleeper Heater Kit

 

that's what I currently have. It's been a good choice for me and I run Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska. Among other cold places. I forgot to add maintenance is cheap if you do it yourself. Fuel screen and an atomizer screen. I've had mine for nine years still performs flawlessly

 

You see in that picture there are options for brackets. Do I need all of them for the install??

 

I can't see them. I can just see a listing of the parts. I would guess floor mounting bracket or floor mounting plate. Possibly both. Mine just bolts to the plate and then bolts to the floor

 

Where does your exhaust go??

 

I have the unit mounted under the bunk. Exits through a metal flex pipe under the sleeper. Between the floor of the sleeper, and above the fuel tank
