It was $3,100 for both installed, do you have any idea what just the bunk heater installed would have cost?

I have an Espar bunk & engine heater..it's been reliable to -35. Paid for itself in one winter. Don't even know if my block heater works...have never used it! I'd have to search to find the plug in!!!! LMAO

I would imagine because of the coolant heater.

Never used it...Don't need it...Use the Espar instead... Just set the timer & forget it... need more reasons? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Mine also has an oil pan heater, so it heats the oil as well...it's so nice to have the oil at 150 degrees as well when I fire up the truck, hardly any idle time required.... I LOVE my Espar!!

Oh! Sorry! I thought you were talking about Espar.... ops:
Is that "oil pan heater" standard, or it's an option?

Ya know, I'm not sure, when I spec'd my truck, I told the salesman I wanted a *good* Espar heater...& that's what I got!

I run in the Arctic, so I HAD to have something that was absolutely reliable (mine's good till at least -35, probably lower (I've used it at home to -45), but not on the road).

Mine does not have AC, but then I might only need AC one or 2 days/year, not worth the extra cost IMHO, BUT when it gets really hot (for me that's in the 80's :lol: ) I open my top vents, crack the windows, & park in a shady spot & can run the fan alone, & since my truck has the Arctic insulation package (not available in US trucks I'm told) in it, it takes a long time before it gets too hot inside.
