Our LR Defender Td5 CSW 110 (2005) has, according to the manual, a thing called a heater but it doesnt heat, at all (nada, rien, nichts). In hot countries such as Oman and the UAE the a/c never really worked; we regarded that as just another feature of the Defender with which one up had to put. Now, though, we are in the midst of the European winter, at present in Austria, travelling in warm, thick, winter clothing, woollen hats and with granny rugs over our legs.
I was having a look at the 12-volt and mains-operated, blower-heaters on Amazon. Some, I wasnt surprised to read, were described by reviewers as an utter waste of money. Others seemed OK.
We need a heater both when moving and when parked. Im not sure just at the moment if our inverter, running off the second battery, is powerful enough to support a 2-kw heater. Anyway, wondered if heating off this kind might work, if anyone reading this has tried anything similar.
