About the Propex HeatSource2000 - The heater uses propane or butane gas as fuel and uses power from your battery to run a fan which blows the newly heated air around your campervan.  Because the heater runs on gas rather than diesel the HeatSource 2000 is completely independent from your engine.  The heater is also completely 'room-sealed' which means there is no way for exhaust fumes to get into your living space and results in a very safe design for campervan and motorhome heating systems.  Propex have also done well in producing a quiet and unobtrusive heater which quietly comes on and off as you need it.  In a small / medium sized space like a campervan the HeatSource2000 doesn't take long to bring your van up to a nice warm temperature.  For bigger campervans or motorhomes, it may be worth considering the HeatSource2000's big brother - the powerful HeatSource2800.

 

Fitting the HeatSource2000: Fitting a Propex heater in a campervan or motorhome is actually quite a straightforward task which most people taking on a campervan conversion project should be happy taking on.  Its worth the effort for the satisfaction of turning it on the first time you get cold!  The heater is nice and compact so finding space for it is rarely a problem.
