    With the coolant heater get the timer and set it to start 2 hours before you want to start the engine. You can start after 90 min heater time down to -30F.
    The air-heater uses much less power per hour but you will need to charge your batteries after 10 hours run time at -5F or you will need a boost.
    This goes for modern Webasto and Espar heaters with the exception if the Webasto 2010which is a coolant based heater that has 2 to 3 times more btu than modern systems.
