Bunk Heater

About:

We install Espar Diesel and Gas bunk heaters with integrated high altitude kits and variable speed fans. Our installations are a bit different than others. Having experience in fuel system design in the trucking industry, we properly route, secure and armor the fuel lines at installation. Then, we tap into the vehicles factory fuel tank port ensuring that the heater ‘stand pipe’ will always leave a few gallons in the tank. This, along with the low voltage cutoff, ensures that you will both have enough fuel and battery to start your vehicle and get home after your adventure.

The heater is controlled via an Espar EasyStart Pro Timer Thermostat Controller, which installs cleanly into the Roost Vans Power Panel and switch plate. Typically the heater unit is installed under the front passenger seat, but custom installation options exist.

Both gas and diesel models are domestically sourced from our trusted vendors and will be servicable for years to come by authorized Espar service center in the states. This is not always the case with many ‘overseas’ Espar sale options.

  • Espar D2L 2kw Diesel Bunk Heater Installed: $2995
  • Espar B2L 2kw Gas Bunk Heater Installed: $3495
