Getting warmer
Camping in summer is great. Any other time of year it is chilly so rather than burying myself under a pile of sleeping bags; why not try fitting a Webasto? Webasto block heaters are great and can be convinced to work just like a heater with the right wiring and control boxes. The one I went and bought was purely a block heater but it did come with its complete wiring loom, a rear blower with loom, lots of pipe work and even a complete diesel tank so I had the pick up point. What it did not have was a control box or any ability to do what I wanted of it. This left me with a few of options: Get the OEM kit to make this heater come on at certain times like a caravelle. This would be expensive, loose my nice sun glasses cubby hole and wouldn't do what I wanted. Buy a retrofit thermostat kit to make the magic happen to my otherwise bog standard block heater. Try to be clever and program something using a raspeberry pi. What could possibly go wrong?
