Hi kev I hear you about the price of these things the only thing I can suggest would be to remove it from under your hood and install it in the camper where it is warm if you install a manifold you can have radiant floor heating and truck engine heating more work definitely summertime project but I think it would solve your problem thanks looking forward to your next video
I guess the old saying is true, “you get what you pay for”. I’d like to install webasto on my duramax for this coming winter.
Great info! We might have a rare 0° to 5° here in Tahoe, but all your tips really help out for all us skiers who go backcountry.
Oh, im getting to the age where i don't want to see -10C let alone -40. 😁
Dig your camper, I have a 05 dodge 2500 cummins 4x4 long bed and the payload is only about 2200 pounds so not nearly enough for that camper.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with your plan. 😊. Other than it being Chinnise. I would spend the extra money and buy north american. Because i am and peice of mind. Good luck to you my brother. 🙂
Hey Kev, nice set up. Thanks for sharing.
Im looking into one now for my '07. I'd like to try to mount it to the factory location on the frame in front of the fuel tank. Unfortunately, the Espar kits for the 3rd gen rams are no longer available. So if I were to go that route, it's custom work. But it's still probably worth the effort.
Thanks again for showing how you have it set up. Stay warm up there.
What grill cover are you using? great fit.
I’m not sure the brand on grill cover, it came with the truck when I bought it
Kevin W., Is a battery heater blanket a viable option as well?
I like this video for ideas as well.

I may be going overboard on this, but I think a variety of components would be good. A silicone heater pad for the oil pan, a block heater for the antifreeze/coolant, and this coolant preheater as you have installed. The preheater could also be used as an under floor heater as well as the engine coolant preheater. Maybe an electric floor eater is a good idea instead.
I watched that same video before, the coolant preheater is best for when you can’t plug into the grid or don’t have or want to start a generator to run a electric block heater, electric block heater will get your engine warm at any temp, just takes about 3 hours. If you have a newer good battery you shouldn’t need to heat it, I’ve never run a battery blanket and I’ve got about 15 winters under my belt up here lol easiest option is electric block heater and generator but the engine preheater is best for when off grid.
Kevin W., Thanks for the informative reply. I have zero time with block heaters or having to need them. The coldest place I have been exposed to is central Montana. Not so cold that a person needs year round block heating, but nice when the time comes it is needed. I am a fan of a warm interior (air). I never have felt what a warmed floor feels like. Curious about this, but if you can have a warmed floor and warmed engine from a coolant heater, I am a fan of trying that out.@@KevinWaldsAdventures
Celcius sucks
I’m guessing the pump uses 12v? Is the power for the pump coming off the truck batteries or camper bank?
He said in the video it runs off the camper batteries
Runs off 12v from truck but I may switch it to the camper batteries
👍🏼🍻
I want to install one in a semi truck do you think is going to work
That’s actually the more common use for them! Webasto make a reliable one
It’s to bad they don’t make diesel fuel tank heat pads to stop jelling
They do, same as an RV 12volt holding tank heat pad, they don't get as hot as the silicone pads that go on your oil pan. Plus if your fuel is winterized it won't gel, most northern territories sell only winterized fuel in the winter for liability porpoises. .
How do you spell the German brand name diesel heater?
Webasto
