Be aware that the heater will stop working if your fuel gels up in extremly cold conditions. I have had this happen in -40F cold and woke up absolutely frozen in the sleeper. Allways be prepared with winter clothing in the truck.

 

follow directions on it to a T. It's not hard to screw a Webasto up. Always make sure you give it time to go through it's shutdown sequence, or the igniter/glow plug will carbon up, and it will quit working.

 

The only problem I ever had was that it kept popping coolant hose clamps, keep a few handy.

 

Get a carbon monoxide detector and keep it in the sleeper.

 

I ran my all winter last year, no problems, but I was thinking the same thing, a carbon monoxide detector might be a sound investment.

 

Tonights the first night I've used my heater, and I just got a carbon monoxide detector. If nothing else makes me feel a little better and may just keep me alive. I found this thread searching CO poisoning.

 

Good idea!
Even after I repaired the exhaust leak I was a bit skittish about going to sleep. Kept a couple windows cracked. One close call is plenty for me. I got a CO detector, but forgot it at home. It's packed now.

 

I hear that, I'd be gun shy too after that. I kept waking up last night checking my detector homers if it's on. Just makes me nervous especially after reading about close calls.
