Every year when the weather gets crappy (3/4 of the year here in the PNW) I start thinking about heaters. I'm on the fence about an Espar, wood stove, or Propex. I have an unleaded JK, with plans for an AT Habitat top. Since I don't have any diesel appliances or vehicles, I'm thinking Propex is the way to go. Is the output enough to warm the entire Habitat....I don't know. But, *what if* I end up with a diesel rig down the road? Will I regret not having a diesel fired heater for any future out of country travels, where propane is supposedly difficult to find?
You already has gasoline. The JK isn't a huge vehicle, and space will always be a concern. Depending on how much propane you expect to use, taking up some precious space with a 20lb tank is critical. Thats a lot of space to give up.
You can get the B1LC or the B4, (both gasoline versions) from Espar. I think the Propex new is cheaper than the Espar, but you can find the Espar used as well. THere are more mounting restraints for the Espar, but its a straight through design, vs the Propex which has its heat intake and output on the same side. Just depends on how you want to mount it. The Espar is very well made, and parts are still available. As long as your truck has gas, you'd be GTG. THe small models produce about the same heat (1800-2000 watts of heat).
