i have an eberspacher and it sounds like a jet engine spooling up for take off,don't know if webs are quieter,if i could afford it i'd get a propex 2.8 for about half the price and run it off my lpg tank,if i could afford one,in my camper,which i just about afforded

As you are full-timing you probably need to be conservative with battery power, unless you are on hookup regularly. Diesel heaters are quite power hungry. What sort of heating do you have now?

Personally I think I would be looking at gas fired heating, with refillable gas cylinders or a fixed gas tank to reduce the cost of buying LPG. The Trumatic S3002 or S5002 uses no electrical power at all in convector mode, you can add a Trumavent fan for blown air heating and a 230v element for when you have mains hook up. Or maybe look at the Whale space heater range: Whale RV - Products
