Months ago i bought a used propane heater from a guy here on the samba. It is an older heater probably made in the 80s and looks as if it was intended on ise for the vanagon. It was made in Germany and has the same color scheme as my westy.

Does anyone else have this heater??
It is an optimus "mini"

I have the 'Optimus Prime'. It is a little larger and transforms into a stove, sink, refrigerator, water heater and battles the deceptacons.

The man knows a straight line when he sees it. Not helpful, of course, but too good to pass up.

I use a totally different type of heater (portable Mr. Buddy) so can not contribute any helpful info.

Good luck trying to find a new Matrix of Leadership if it breaks down. Those things are NLA!

Likewise. Keeps everything tickety-boo while awake - and at night it's switched off and sensible 4-season bedding arrangement takes care. Wink

If you run it at night make sure 2 windows are cracked open.
