0 HZ0 Electrical auxiliary heating
We have had an aux air heater fitted (Webasto) aftermarket. It’s superb and the fitting company brilliant. Call Jonny +44 7791 935148 Dirty Weekender Campervan’s. Tell him Mike Shaw recommended and have a tour of the workshops if and when you visit.I've finally found taken the plunge, and will take delivery of my MP on Monday. Despite the weather it has neither the aux water nor the aux air heater. Probably why I can afford it. Thus it's first stop is a local camper specialist to have an aux air heater fitted - MB didn't want to know about fitting one at it's dealership. So my questions are:
a) has anyone any experience with retrofitting aux air heater on an MP? make? position? control unit? cost?
b) any recommendations on the south coast for a specialist to perform this?
I've found a firm near Poole, and at a bit over £1k with a timer this seems like a good deal, at least compared to list price on a factory fit. I'd like to make sure that it is fitted as unobtrusively as possible, and so would also like to know where the factory fitted heater is positioned, and what make it is.
Any information gratefully received.
There are two diesel auxiliary heaters - one that warms the coolant (often referred to as the aux water heater but I note in the latest brochure it is now called the "Diesel-powered Auxiliary Air Heater" code NI0Z) and this can heat the coolant and the cabin for a limited period (60 minutes), and another that uses diesel to warm the air directly and can be used continuously, called the "Diesel-powered Auxiliary Night Air Heater" NI1Z. It has been reported on this forum that there is an electrical heater that helps warm the standard cabin heating more quickly when the engine is running and this is referred to as the electrical auxiliary heating. I think this is what your spec sheet is referring to.Hi all we have taken delivery of our mp and thought we had the Aux hot air heater. This is how it was listed in our spec:-
any ideas?

Did he fit it in under the passenger seat and how much, if you don't mind me asking?Sounds good. Don't suppose you could pop up some pics of the install ?
Unit is fitted externally under the floor with warm air vent on centre side of driver seat base. Intake on other side of seat base by door. Exhaust etc all tucks in nicely along with heat shielding. Controller is fitted into air vent just inside side door.Did he fit it in under the passenger seat and how much, if you don't mind me asking?

All very neat and works a treat. You would not fit the main unit of a heater like this inside the vehicle.
There are cheaper options available but you get what you pay for. You won’t get a better unit than this. Half the price of the Merc factory unit.
We paid just over £1,000 but suggest you give Jonny a call as mentioned.

Hi Brian, did you installed the Planar heater finaly? what the possition was used? thxVery interesting. I like the idea of an external unit. I was looking at getting a Planar fitted but they want to fit it under the seat and I'm unsure if that's wise or not...
