Zaskoda: That Heat Source heater looks exactly like my Propex.
How's it working for you? Worth the cash?
check out www.thesamba.com
go to vanagons
search propex
the Propex is the unit of choice for our smaller brothers
TONS more installs out there in thier world than ours
hmmmm.... maybe a special Aluminess bumper box with a Propex heater and a propane tank mounted inside, and an insulated warm air duct connected to the SMB, only installed when needed?
Just paranoid about combustion-based heaters inside the SMB, especially with my 4 year old son.

I think I'd be more worried about having a pressurized propane tank in a bumper in case someone bumped the bumper a little too hard.

Better in the bumper, than in the vehicle if it happens to get hit in that one particular spot.

I'm still analyzing the propex and will let you know. The heat on the smaller one seems adequate but again I havn't had it in cold temps yet. Also I ran it awhile yesterday and it was making some kind of sputtering sounds as it was pushing good heat out. ( nothing too bad) So ?????

Dowgars,
Any update on your Propex?

Does anyone really read this stuff other than surfgeek?
The sputtering noise (if it occurs) on the propex goes away after the "air" is out of the propane line. I like my propex but I havn't had it in near 0 temps yet.
