My Chinese Heater crapped out on me and instead of replacing with another Chinese I found a Wabasto air top 2000 st for sale but says it is missing the controller. I see on Heatso.com that you can buy a controllers but they range from $70-$430. Would any of those controllers work? Would there be...

My van was in single digit temperatures for the last month, I’m now back in Florida since my heater kept not working, but even in single digits wind blowing, the heater was either too hot or if I ran it high to heat everything up really hot and turn it off it would be freezing after about 5 hrs...

Which Chinese controller one has a thermostat? The updated version of my type I thought only had a timer. I’ve been looking at buying one, the last one I got was on ebay and so far has been a ultimate fail, is amazon better?

Is there any way to connect a thermostat to these? And is putting diesel additive to the fuel a good thing? I would guess it would help clean it out? Edit: Also if I buy another one, would you suggest I replace the entire thing or instead replace the parts and not have to touch the exhaust and...

Something must be be going on with mine, completely different controller, randomly works fine then stops and is only a month old and I run it only 10-15 hrs a day on medium to high.

Would this happen if it was a wabasto or espar? I feel like for $1200 there’s no way people are buying diesel heaters if they can potentially last a month before service.

In Ohio pretty low, like 500ft Altitude. And my exhaust and in take have no kinks or bends. I guess it could be carbon, if that’s how long these things last on medium a Month! Really feel like I should of went propane.

Yes, so It might just be carboned up. Seems quick I’ve only been running it for less than a month and usually would kick on high occasionally because I’ve read they get carbon. But most people say once a month or so they’ll kick on high for 30 min.

This is really being weird, It will occasionally start and run for hours no problem. But if I turn it off it doesn’t want to start back up. If I try a couple times It has been starting up and again will run good until I shut it off and try starting it again?? I haven’t had a chance to look at...

Mine came with a remote but I’m not sure how you connect it since my controller doesn’t have settings. It almost seems like my mother board is made for the simple manual controllers that’s only off on and fan/pump speed, but they somehow put it hooked up to what looks like the good controller...

Is that the pump you cleaned Or the combustion chamber? Also some info, I’ve had this heater installed for the last year in Florida where I did my build. It worked flawlessly down there the couple times I tested it. This is the first trip I’m using it, I’ve been using it quite a bit every day...

I replaced the rubber connector on the Inlet side on the pump too. Maybe it just needed some time to get air out of the pump? I ran it on full blast for hours yesterday and this morning tried starting it and got error 08. Tried again and it started on 5.5 hz, my thinking was the more fuel it’s...

Is it possible that the fuel pump is leaking? There’s air bubbles pumping in the line after the pump not before. I replaced the rubber connector hose but still is getting air bubbles in it.

Actually just got done tearing into it, I had all the lines wrapped in loom so made a little of a tear down, but I found air bubbles pumping out after the fuel pump. I replaced the rubber connector hose (I brought spare of that) and no luck still pumping air bubbles after the fuel pump. Only...

Ok, a little update is my heater is now not working. For the last couple days I was occasionally getting code 08 on start up but looked it up and said that could happen in heavy winds which I was in. It would start up on the second try, the last 2 nights I Woke up with the heater off and error...
