Time required to fit a Webasto?
Hi All

Having prevaricated about getting a heater fitted for some years now, I’ve finally got round to doing something about it. Have had various mods previously done by Twisted, I thought I’d go to them. I know they’re expensive, but ...

Anyhow, I’ve just received a quote, which includes 30 hours to fit a Webasto underneath the cubby box within a Mud Heat Locker and the digital controller fitted into the dash.

30 hours, or 4 days, seems like a lot of time. But, to be fair, I’m certainly no expert. So I thought I’d check here. For those that know what this involves, is this about right, give or take?

Many thanks

Assuming you are meaning space heater as opposed to pre heater? Fitted my eberspacher in the rear with the dip pipe diesel feed in half a day.

Very good they are too. Nice and toasty. Easy to do so give it a go yourself.

any truck/lorry camper van place will fit them and correctly in 1-2 days depending on location inside a defender.

we spent a day on mine as i wanted to run the exhaust pipe to the rear via a silencer.


buy the basic model and if you want to upgrade to better controller and remote \ app control you can do at a later date.

2kw is plenty for a 90/110 as well.

they dont use much fuel and are fairly good on battery use as well

My coolant preheated, thermo top c, is also i under the engine close to bulkhead on passenger side. My air heater is under the 2nd row seats.

I dropped fuel tank and fitted two pickups, routed each line along chassis to heater location with in line pumps. That took me a morning, 8 to 1300. 5hrs

Next day 0800 to 1600 thermo top fitted under wing and plumbed in. 8hrs

Then approx 2hrs to then connect up wiring and fit control box to dash.

So 15hrs for thermo top. Bit less for air heater as no coolant hoses to sort. Cheers

Thanks for your replies.

Apologies, I should have mentioned it’s the air heater being mounted inside the cabin.

It sounds like, if I add in time to remove the dash and fit the digital controller, it’s not getting as ridiculous as I first wondered, albeit it’s at the top end of what the time requirement may be.

12hrs for an air top assuming they are dropping the tank. Cheers

Took me about 3 hrs to fit my Airtop (well chinese equivalent) in the 130. I have a seperate tank however so I can run it on red diesel.
