Agree: awsome pictures!
And the surrounding looks familiar: Near Refugio Llaima, maybe?

Questions:
Are the CO emissions commming from the Webasto muffler something to worry about? When you are sleeping, for example?
Have you connected the Webasto to the trucks diesel tank?

I just keep the door closed and nothing to worry about emissions. To prevent condensation I open the roof vent or the opposite window to the exhaust muffler.
The webasto is not connected to the truck diesel tank. Instead of this I have a jerrycan in the camper. See my pictures here:

¡You are right!: "Near to refugio Llaima". Have you been here?
I took these pictures in Conguillio National Park Chile when I was testing the camper before my 100 days trip to Patagonia (Chile-Argentina).
I recommend you this heater.

Thank you for the information. Didn't notice that the jerrycan is for the webasto.

Conozco el Refugio Llaima (hemos pasado unos días ahí en invierno y verano). Tengo familiares cerca de Temuco.
Tenemos un camper Outfitter+Ford F350 desde el 2011 y nuestro hobby es viajar (aparte de reparar/mejorar el camper .

Te agradecería datos sobre tu viaje a Patagonia. A nosotros nos falta aún el tramo Cochrane hacia el sur.

¡Ahahaaa....!, so you are chilean also. I saw your Outfitter camper when it was for sold in "Queirolo".
Also I had read your web page before my trip to Ushuaia.
Well, let me tell you about my 100 day trip. We started on december 30 2012 our trip to Ushuaia from Temuco Chile.

Our route was something like this:
Temuco - Parque Nacional Vicente Perez Rosales - Hornopiren - Chaitén - Puyuhuapi - Puerto Cisnes - Puerto Aysen - Coyhaique - Puerto Río Tranquilo - Puerto Bertrand - Cochrane - Villa Ohiggins - Caleta Tortel - Cochrane - Cruce Chile Argentina por Paso Roballos - Bajo Caracoles - Tres Lagos - El Chaltén - El Calafate - Cruce Argentina Chile por paso Río Don Guillermo - Torres del Paine - Puerto Natales - Punta Arenas - Cruce Estrecho de Magallanes - Porvenir - Cruce Chile Argentina paso San Sebastián - Río Grande - Ushuaia - Cruce Argentina Chile por Paso Bellavista - Lago Blanco - Porvenir - Cruce Estrecho de Magallanes - Punta Arenas - Puerto Natales - Torres del Paine - Cruce Chile Argentina por paso Villa Dorotea - El Calafate - Tres Lagos - Puerto San Julián -Caleta Olivia - Los Antiguos - Sarmiento - Comodoro Rivadavia - Trelew - Playa Unión - Puerto Madryn - Esquel - El Bolsón - Bariloche - San Martín de Los Andes - Cruce Argentina Chile por paso Mamuil Malal - Pucón - Temuco.

It take us exactly 100 days and 12.000 kms (7500 miles). We have no problems at all. Our Dodge Cummins 5.9 and Hallmark camper passed this real test. The most beautifull places for us are: Carretera Austral (Route 7 Chile), Torres del Paine Chile, and Ushuaia Argentina.
