Just bought a Scholastic!

Alright guys. Talk me down... This was the single largest expense I've made for my conversion, but it looked like a good deal, and I didn't want to pass it by so I pulled the trigger. I bought a NIB Webasto Scholastic 45,000 btu/H complete kit with the enclosure. After tax came out to $1,600. If this doesn't provide all the heat I need for my 7 window, I'm gonna feel like an idiot. It will also be piped to my Kuumo water heater as an alternate source of fuel for potable water heating.

Wow, 7 windows and 45k btu, "burning down the bus"! I'm in a 33' flat nose with 19k btu, so I'll be hanging out in your bus when it's time for morning coffee.

I don't think you can go wrong with the brand of product, strong name. Nice to have plenty of hot water too.

I sure you'll be plenty happy. Congrats!

After this week... I'm glad you guys think it's more than enough. I thankfully made it out of Houston before the storm, but I'm still hearing horror stories about people going days without water/electricity, and I've seen thermostats showing 40's... The goal is to never freeze!
