Sprinter Adventure Van Build - Espar S2 D2L Diesel Heater Install -

Sprinter Van Build Series Episode 5: In this installment of the Sprinter VanLife Build series we tackle staying warm through the winter months with the Espar Airtronic S2 D2L heater install. This is a small efficient heater installed in the space under the passenger's seat that would be unused otherwise!

**NOTE: I bought my original kit from Heatso, but when I went to run my Hydronic to the same EasyStart Pro controller I found out the Heatso harness is not North American spec. So anything you buy here you'll have to modify it to work which is not cool. That's why I am now recommending the one from VanLand below instead.
