How to Install Eberspacher (Espar) Airtronic 3 Gas Heater in DIY Van | Van Build Series (Ep. 16)

In this episode of our van build series, Aaron installs the Eberspacher (Espar) AS3 B2L Gasoline Heater under the passenger seat in our Ford Transit.
We were torn on whether we really needed a heater in the van or not. But after realizing we felt "cold" in the 60s in California, we figured a heater would be well worth it for us in the colder months! This unit also works in up to 13,000ft elevation which will be comforting when we visit mountainous regions.
