OMG, resetting the heater CB is what killed Ricky Nelson!If I trusted the Amazon reviews, I'd never purchase anything ever again.
"1 star: box was damaged in shipping"
"1 star: Item never arrived"
"1 star: China maidz teh COVIDz"
Hell, das uber-est-German Webasto units get just as CRAPPY reviews on Amazon.
But I get the hesitation. The reason I mentioned the FB group is because they go into good detail on how to improve on these little diesel units to make them safer and as reliable as the German-made versions with some very simple mods (mostly simple mounting improvements, etc). To each his own, and I had never really considered one of the Chinese units until I looked into them further.
But no, I do not have one yet. My Hunter sorta works for now (it goes into fault after about an hour of operation and pops it's cb). Factor in the fact that it's the loudest part of the truck (like a jet engine you can hear it over the CAT engine outside and even over the diesel genset when inside the hab, you will never sleep with this thing kicking on an off, forgget trying to watch TV or phone w/o headphones), the fact that it only runs for 30 seconds to heat, then spends five minuets blasting cold air as it cools the unit for shutdown, with the fact that it pops the cb after 30 minutes...and the OEM Hunter only gets 2 Amazon stars from my review.
My hab heat only gets turned on maybe three times a year, though. And one of those is only to make sure it still works.
ymmv
