Just another suggestion what about a carver motorhome heater there is one on eBay just now I have a carver1800 one in my county tried it for the first time today and was pleasantly surprised at how much heat it puts out and has the added Benefit of the exhaust under the van so no fumes in van and looks pretty simple to fit

The carver type heater is the best for me but i am slightly worried about fitting it

i don't really know the best place in my swb ive used the drivers side up with the drop down bed

ive got a box built in behind the bulkhead for storage so could fit it to that if it clears the fuel tank

ideally i could do with a slimmer version and fit it behind passenger wheel arch between that and the rear door its out the way of everything then but don't think i would have enough underneath space ??

decisions decisions ????

mines sits between side door and rear wheel arch with lots of spare room around it its spaced off wall slighty so the underworkings miss chassis leg underneath
