Webasto burners give good service if you maintain them. Just like anything else. You can't expect it to run forever without good regular service. Or else you go from one break down to the next...

We had a Webasto in our first bus a few years ago, and it was there since the 90s when the conversion was done. It hadn't been maintained in at least a few years, but it was possible to get it up and running without too much effort. As said, doing the annual maintenance is required for reliability.

Webasto is better quality as evidence by the teardown comparison video. Whatever faults the Webastos have, one would think the China units made so much poorer can only experience far more issues.

I think the Pro/Heat used in the Oasis systems are less stressful than a Webastos not near as touchy since it not a high pressure fuel system.I have the later model Aqua/Hot in the coach it seems to be better than the older Aqua/Hot no problems yet except the check valves Aqua/Hot mounted wrong but that was no biggie

 I 2nd the pro/heat unit as this is the 2nd one for me the 1st one was in the MCI and I never had any problems with it in the 10 years I had the coach and I hate to say it but I never did any service on it zero

the aqua hot I HAD IN THE CURENT COACH WAS SUCH A PAIN IN THE @$#  I removed it and gave it away for $180 and replaced it with the pro/heat . zero problems with the pro/heat
