Why not call some of their distributors? See what discount you can get..... One of them might have a heater in stock they want to move on before the weather becomes warmer.

Is it the Heatwave Thermo 1 you're after? The advertised cost is £3,450 according to the catalogue they sent me through this week (quite pricey IMO).

Yeah I got 1 too nearly 4 grand I think it said,you can buy that webasto in kit form everything you need with all the exact same items for around £1000-1200.

no chance of getting a brand new diesel heater at that price mate,you might get a second hand one.....

dont forget you ll have to get someone to fit it properly (plumbed into your diesel tank) and exhaust through the van floor plus you need 2 decent heavy duty leisure batteries to run it and a split charge relay(or battery to battery smart charger if its a newer van).it all adds up. then theres the dreaded VAT which cost me £750 for everything(heater/batteries/fitting etc).

you wont have much change left out of £4,500  IMO........

NWHs heater that he bought off varitech was 10 years ago.......plus you need the 9.9kw version really mate to make sure you have piping hot water(even if your a one man band)

my frost stat has been getting a good workout the last few days....its -4 here and its kicking in nearly every hour at the moment!

thanks for the info looks like its a finance chat with varotech

there is a big difference between £50 or less shall we say or £4,500 mate

i may get a long run generator and run a heater off that wile im working lol

[Dry Clean]

Don't waste your money mate as the diesel heater guys are sitting twiddling their thumbs just like the rest of us,
as for the rest of the year, on the rare occasion where you do get a bit of stubborn bird poo a Gardiner scraper for the uppers and
a run of the mill scraper for the bottoms will more than do.
As Iv said before, some people shouldnt be allowed to have money. lol.

[NWH]

I’m twiddling my thumbs safety in the knowledge everything is warm and supple in the van, I can remember years ago we had a spell of weather like this I wrapped everything up in the van when I went to check hours later the whole inside of the van was frozen solid. In these temperatures if your cold each day that passes in this cold everything is getting more frozen and more brittle,if your hose reel and pump hasn’t been emptied it will take hours and hours for it to defrost I’ve been there.

exactly.....when we have days of freezing weather like this the frost stat feature on these diesel heaters is fantastic.it comes in very handy keeping everything frost/damage free....

i just make sure i keep my batteries on charge and a bit of diesel in the tank....

I have put my boiler on and will leave it run for a coupleof hours to warm the tank up then it will stay warm inside for a couple of days preventing anything in the van freezing , cheap and easy way of keeping it warm and damage free

I just use a £50 Stanley space heater and leave it in the van overnight during these (rare) cold spells. Also I wear a decent pair of gloves during the day. It’s roughly £4450.00 cheaper than Daz’s option and does exactly the same thing.

Been sorted now though innit.

It’s a luxury to have a diesel heater. Not a necessity.

I’m still Going to go for one this year even though all the ribbing that you guys give them. 

Anything to make life more comfortable. Even if it is arguable if it provides a better quality, or quicker speed.

[NWH]

You will then realise it’s not a luxury it’s needed.
