Yes, we will. This was just a quick “move it to clean the work area”. The coming box of parts should get me to the true test drive stage.We will have that squared away soon enough.

Is that a Vintage Air heater?
It is. And it fits VERY well! I'm not real fond of the defrost ducts, they stretch when heated up and sag a little. But that is certainly fixable; just need to give them a trim when hot.
Thanks, did you look at the Mojave heater too?
@SHavis I really like the look and fit of the heater. I have looked at the Vintage Air web site and can't locate what you have. Is it a complete kit or did you have to spec the parts individually?
I've had the same unit in mine but bought it from Summit. Better price if I recall. Great unit with awesome heat output.
Ha! Me too! I just searched the website two hours ago and found the unit, but the controller was not with it. Even though I have a boatload of stock heaters, I’ve never been a fan (pardon the pun) of the bulk created by the divorced fan.

Why did you not just put a used OEM unit in there?
I bought it off Amazon. Was here in a couple of days. It included everything on that's spread out on the cart.

Yes, the depth was more, IIRC, on the Mohave. The Vintage Air tucks up under the dash nicely.
Actually it is this one, lower on the same page with the extra items.
Vintage Air Gen II Electric 12 Volt Heater Defrost Kit Billet 3 Knob Control w/ Louvers
$430.89
Vintage Air Gen II Electric 12 Volt Heater Defrost Kit Billet 3 Knob Control w/ Louvers
$430.89
That one has billet controls and defrost directional vents. I found the packing list, mine is the 506101 Gen II Heater Kit with Defrost. Comes with:
Gen II Heater with Defrost Sub Case
Gen II Heater with Defrost Wiring Kit (includes the plastic controls.)
Universal Defrost Duct Kit (I did not use this)
Gen II Heater with Deftost Installation Kit (nuts, bolts, grommets, hose clamps, elbows, variable valve, wire ties, etc.)
2" Duct Hose, 5 feet.
Hope this helps! $237 is way better than $431.
Cheers!
