They are awesome. The pump clicking can be dealt with via foam and other isolation methods. Even without insulation, your truck camper will easily be 80 degrees if you want.
The fuel line and connectors that came with mine are still fine after 3 years. The computer is mildly annoying to program, but not a huge deal.
It's easily the best $150 one can spend on making a camper more comfortable.ride bikes, climb, ski, travel, cook, work to fund former, repeat.

Maybe this has been covered before, but does anyone have experience with gas/propane versions of the knockoff heaters? I can only seem to find the diesel ones, and not super stoked on the idea of adding a diesel tank or dropping 1.5k on the name brand.

I went name brand and I can't say I love the functionality. Instructions are confusing and the LED control doesn't offer much that the Chinese version wouldn't. It works but it's nothing slick or compelling. I don't have any reference re fuel pump, but dont mind the tick at all

Anyone have or use a Thule Hideaway or Fiamma F45 awning?
The ARB style and it's hundreds of knock offs are the budget and popular choice but I would really like the option for partial deployment.

I had the Fiamma F45. Really nice but super heavy. You can operate with one person. Can't handle wind and when it breaks it is expensive as fuck to get replacement parts. I sold it and got the ARB. With the cost savings we added the ARB screen room which is the best thing since sliced bread.

I used this for insulating my van floor and making window shades. You could use this to line your whole truck bed and put Bed Rug or a similiar durable truck bed carpet over that. The insulation link above is a foam core with foil on both sides. Helps a ton with sound deadening too.

I have a Fiamma awning over the rear door to the camper, but never use it, mostly due to because it's over the door and pretty small. If it were on the side I'd probably use it more, but realistically, the camper generates its own shade just by being tall.
It's a hand roll down/ extend legs/ click legs into brackets on side of camper type, not the self supporting crank out with a handle type. Seems reasonably well made, certainly nicer than the bag awning we used to have on a pop-up trailer.

Ski RV's, who's sleeping in parking lots?
Keeping the money in the TRG family, I love it !
I hired WRG as my RE dirt pimp and he is spending his commission on a maggot-owned GFC.
Now it’s up to single to spend the money from WRG on a Freeride Systems jacket, some ON3P skis, or some other maggot item.

This!
I can't say either of the two awnings on my truck camper have come in handy more than a handful of times. Unless it's high noon, camper makes its own shade. I'll sometimes extend the rear a few feet to keep snow or rain out when opening the door, but only if it's not windy.

Awning would be on small camper van where the side door is frequently open and it's not tall like a truck camper to cast it's own shade.
I think we are going to get some more trips under our belt and take note of times when partial roll out would have helped

Used our magnetic closure screen for the sliding door on the transit a couple of times this summer. I bought it on Amazon for $ 35, some quick trimming and Velcro sewing and it works great.

How dumb of an idea is it to try to replace rocker panels in a 20 year old van?

Lavaner Pro heaters are the best compromise between Webasto price and generic-brand futzing. They're like $200 instead of $80, but all the components are quality and the support is top notch. Haven't had to replace anything yet. From reading, my impression is they rarely break, but I know they have sent out replacements for free to other folks. Only downside is a long lead time if they haven't shipped a batch to US in a while.
