Hi
Has anybody replaced the eberspacher on a Westy Joker with a 240V hot air blower-type heater for use when on hook-up?

Cheers

Thanks for this

Having found a very nasty looking nest of Scotchloks in the junction box area of the engine bay, and noting that the previous careful owner has also lost the Junc box cover I feel the need to remove these litle blighters before the corrosion becomes, well - terminal. So.. Was wondering if anyone had...
