Webasto or Espar type heater?

Has anyone installed one of the torpedo type heaters in their class C? I'm a subscriber to the RVing With Tito chanel, they just posted a video of a gasoline fired Webasto install in their Forest River Class C. I've run a yacht equipped with an Espar torpedo heater but frankly didn't pay much attention to it. It was years ago and the installer had had a lot of trouble with it. I didn't even fire it up. There was a torpedo type heater in a VW pop up camper van I had many many (like late 1960's) years ago. I got a loud POP! out of it the first and only time I tried to light it. From a little research I did today it looks like a good idea. The Atwood LPG unit I have works. The price of LPG is about the same as regular gas. I'll have to look tomorrow at the kw output and fuel consumption comparisons. Apart from or in addition to all that, what say you my friends?

You've likely already seen the ba-jillion Youtubes on people installing the Chinese clones in their RVs. I'd probably prefer diesel.

I don't care to haul gas or diesel in the back of my truck, propane would be easier for me. It only sips about a gallon a day.

I have installed several Espar heaters in Peterbilt semis. Pretty easy just time consuming.
