I dunno. My local dealer dudes carry the Proheat and it works pretty good for me. Schnieder truck lines from Green Bay bought a shit load of Webastos for their fleet toreduce the idling thing. I've had a Proheat in the toter home for a long time, it's great not having to start a cold engine.
I got a bigger one in the FC, something like 33k btu vs. 45k. The truck warms up amazinglyfast as it only has a 16' lounge and two convectors, one in the shit house and a larger one under the couch. The bird has a lot more liquid to heat, but it gets going pretty good. The rear heater warms first, mine is a rear bath. The dinette and couch heaters take a bit longer. I suspect there is the real possibility the OEM chassis heaters could be improved up on. Lower draw fans and improved air ducting. I might go there if we get to the point where we take the 'bird out in the cold. I don't see that happening but ya never know.

Hi Mike,
Long time no speak... What do you think of a Webasto Thermo-90 as a secondary heating unit???
