Oh the weather outside is frightful, But the ESPAR is so delightful...

This winter we have depended on our Espar more then we ever have and I am happy to say due to the heater we have not had to run our truck to stay warm.   That little heater is quiet and gets the job done even when we were in severe cold and the wind was trying to blow the truck over.

 

Davenport Iowa in severe temperatures; we arrived on Saturday evening with a Monday pickup and as soon as the sun when down the temperatures started falling.   We woke up to near zero degrees and a slight wind.   The Espar had no trouble keeping our 100" sleeper warm and I believe in an OEM sleeper the Espar would have run very little.

 

On Sunday evening the temperature continued to drop quickly and finally reached a low of -19 with a wind chill of -45 and the amazing part was the Espar Heater only allowed our sleeper to get as low as 59 degrees.   Once we were up moving and the sun popped out the temperature in the sleeper started climbing.

 

Cincinnati Ohio in snow and near zero degree temperatures and we were as snug as a bug in the sleeper.   It is sure a rude awakening when we had to go outside to head into the truck stop to use the facilities.  

 

Through all of this we have not had to run our truck to stay warm, we have a block heater that is plugged into generator and we have the Maxwell Capacitor to start the truck.   The truck starts as if it is a balmy 70 degrees outside.

 

Thanks again to Ray Lawrence, Espar of Michigan for being at the Expo with these heaters. Call Ray directly at 800-837-3900.
