The tstat is just an on-of switch. If it's calling for heat it's on. you can replace the tstat with an on off toggle or alligator clips and see if it runs to be sure.
And I agree I don't think it is an air lock issue. You can try to find someone to run the diagnostics or swap it out for a new unit for about $1500. The Webasto is rated to 3000m, that is still higher than the Espar with the altitude metering pump.
One other thing the Webasto does not do well...
If the engine has been running you can feel the coolant level in the towel bar . Have the engine OFF before you open the system and be super careful that you are not releasing 80C coolant at pressure!
I think Vermonster got new parabolics.
We did ship it with the extra parabolic spring on the back, have you broken one?
I would not open the radiators with the truck running. When it is hot you can feel the level of coolant in the bathroom radiator. Crack the filler cap on top and see if there is pressure.
On another note the fix around the air con looks good. I always thought that was a spot for the lithiums! I bet that wiper issue I chased for ever was in the stalk the whole time! The ring around the stove was the only option I had as well apart from changing the counter top, I really wish I had...
The best way to fill it is through the cap in the top of the bathroom radiator (the highest point in the system). One of those long thin funnels fits in there perfectly. You can bleed air from the top of the main habitat radiator at the same time.
If you drive with the engine loop open the...
Generally you want your solar going to the house batteries.
Any well made vehicle should be able to go a weeks without starting without issue as long
as all your house loads are on the house battery. In an failed start you can always jump from the house battery.
We ran a 10" tablet all over the Americas, using open street maps and maps.me,
We started off running it with a garmin gps until we found the garmin maps were less accurate and the routing often was poor.
We ditched the Garmin gps and replaced it with an In Reach (yes also Garmin). The InReach...
Overall the truck is 2.4mX 3.6mX7.9m
the box is approx 18' long. 4" floor 80" interior height 3" roof and I think the walls are 2 1/2". It is too high for White rim and the tunnel at Zion. That was the only trail we could not do because of size.
Center diff splits the power 50 50 front and rear. Keep all diffs unlocked on dry asphalt. lock the center in snow and ice, and loose surfaces, mud, gravel etc.
You need to hold it down with your heel as Neil says. You should also be descending in the same gear you would need to ascend the hill and use the exhaust brake all the way. Descending long steep hills using the service brakes is asking for trouble. If the exhaust brake can't hold your speed...
