Description
We encourage you to watch our detailed Webasto heater installation and tips & tricks video.
If you're tempted to purchase your Webasto heater at a ridiculously low price from other online retailers, you should be aware that these are often European origin kits that are not compatible with all the North American parts and do not include some important parts. We have an extensive blog post about this here.

For your safety we recommend that you install a carbon monoxide detector in your van anytime you have any fuel burning appliance like a Webasto heater or propane cooktop. They are widely available. We sell this combination CO2 and propane detector.
About the Fan
Webasto heaters have a variable speed fan that runs continuously when the heater is on. It runs very slowly when not heating and ramps up speed when heating. If you have a SmarTemp digital controller you can use a "fan only" mode.
Enjoy years of reliable heating with a genuine Webasto Air Top EVO 40 diesel powered air heater!

New, Higher Altitude Capabilities
In the summer of 2023, Webasto released this newer version of the diesel EVO 40 that is now capable of operating up to 18,000′ (5,500m). Previous models were rated up to 7,200 feet. Note that the gasoline models are still rated for 7,200 feet. This newer version has the model number of 5013908B and is what we’re now selling!
