Webasto Heating System

People never realize how much dust accumulates in them. There was quite a bit of news about fires in the 90's. Guess it was forgotten. This is a good idea for all space heaters. I blow mine out every season.

Correct on annual cleaning of toe kick heaters. He have three electric ones and they gather all sorts of crud in them. I found that a slim (3/8" or so) clear vinyl hose stuck onto the nozzle of a vacuum great for getting deep inside the units to suck out the dust bunnies. I modified an extra crevice tool to accept the vinyl hose with a small vent to keep the hose shop vac hose from sucking itself closed.

Any forced air product heat or A/C needs periodic cleaning. Especially heaters including elaborate RV furnaces as dust accumulation not only effects performance will also catch fire!
