runaway parents Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Do they or can they run on shore power? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trainer Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 No Sir. Webasto diesel burners run on house battery power under normal conditions, at least some 12 vdc or possibly on a Prevost bus, 24 vdc power. Never on 120 vac power. Now one can use 120 vac to power an inverter/charger to keep the house batteries charged up to power the Webasto. Hope this helps. Trainer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nigel Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 If we are talking about the bunk heater, they don't draw much power. I used to leave mine on 24/7 all winter and never had a problem starting if I didn't go to work for three days. Nigel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CDR Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Best diesel fired heater made! IMO.... Curt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BigBus Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Yes, but only thru inverter/charger which will give you 12 or 24vdc to the Webasto. That how our Prevost is wired Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Mayer Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 The Webasto's are great heaters. Makes life "good" in cold weather. When I delivered my grey 780 to Gillette, WY this winter the Webasto ran 24x7 for a week. Made the truck T Shirt weather inside when it was in the teens or lower outside.

Bob A Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 I agree often leave mine on in cold weather even when driving Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cotreker Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 How long do they take to install, I plan to use my truck in the cold mountains alot. I am also considering a block heater by Webasto. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
