Below are some photos of the heaters using the most common installation method, in a Vanagon Westfalia.

NOTE: PLEASE READ the current installation tips before starting - the newest version heaters (produced after February 2010) require FULL LENGTH flex pipes in order to work properly - DO NOT CUT (shorten) the inlet or exhaust pipes!

Fall startup tip: If you have a heater produced before February 2010 - serial numbers prior to B10 (last 3 digits indicate month and year) and a red LED on the thermostat: If your heater fails to run and displays a 5-flash fault, use compressed air blown into the intake pipe for a few seconds. The air flow sensor can sometimes become stuck if the heater hasn't been used for many months.

 An installation where the rear heater was removed, and the Propex installed in it's place - gained 3" of storage space!

             

     

Inexpensive homemade water-column-inch gauge. Each mark is 1/2" distance but counts for 1" WC.

 

Installation of an HS2800, in a Westy where the original rear heater was removed. We used the original heater outlet location for the Propex outlet. Amazing heat output -- and still room for their subwoofer box above it!

  

Another installation where the original rear heater was removed:

Here are some alternative installation ideas:

This neat box from Rocky Mountain Westy that can house both a smaller Propex and an auxiliary battery.
