Awesome! Clifford is going to give it a go with a CDH... I love it!

We're doing major surgery on the large bottom compartment to make room for the second CDH. We're doing away with the 12 gallon tank on the electric aux. air compressor to relocate the compressor w/o the tank. A real project underway paving the install of the second heater. Just pulled the trigger on ducting & registers for the second heater - direct from China! supposed to have it all before Christmas - Lol, we'll see...

I'm going to buy a Lavener pro. They are more expensive but have a good reputation and lots of assistance from Lavaner for any issues. Vendors have good reviews also. Yours is the all in one?
Cliff, be sure you have full 12 volts, consider heavier wire if lengthy source. Lots of help on Faq page. I've been reading many posts about issues some users have, which 60 percent are self inflicted. Oh, and don't use green fuel line. Common issue of cracking and sucking air in time.

I thought about you lol since it has green hoses from the tank to the unit you may not want it

they recommend replacing with 2mm opaque tubing. Some haven't had an issue with it yet. Since you are just going to test it, not a problem

reports indicate micro cracks leading to air bubbles in fuel line.

funny- they describe the instructions that come with most of them as being written in Chinglish.lol That's where the forum is beneficial if having issues or questions on operation. These things are extremely popular in the UK. Many are installed in cars. vans, tents,sheds, boats, etc.

What little time I played with mine I am not buying into a 100 hrs run time on 2-1/2 gals

Not on high nor in the mid to upper heat range but seems it will run forever on low to minimum heat and very quiet almost silent. At $120 a unit it would cost more than double that for all the serviceable parts to repair a unit. Can't purchase the fan motor alone, only as a unit including motor, fan, and end casting. Cheapest I seen that part is $50 to over $100. I know a bus nut that's on the fourth year full timing with only a CDH and no issues.
