    Call me old fashioned, but I would not be at ease with unknown Russian manufacturing & technology combusting diesel below my sleeping body...

    I agree with double yellow. Who do you sue if your truck burns to the ground?

    Don't forget asphyxiation from noxious fumes.

    My brother in law installed one two years ago and has no complains. Paid $600 some where in CT.
    If I didn't have TriPack on my truck, i would go for one. If you search the web you find people use them on boats, and reviews just like every ESPAR and WEBASTO.

    I just searched for it on Russian internet sites, looks like its very popular and reviews are really good. I still, however, want to get a webasto, because of local warranty support

    It costs only $300 in Russia and I spoke today with two drivers who are happy with that thing. Shipping will cost me about $50. Hmmm
