The chinese 12 v dc diesel heater on our NT 32-238 "Bessie" has failed to ignite.  It replaced the factory-installed ESPAR? heater some years before we purchased the vessel in 2020, so it has at least five years of use on it.  The thermostat control has also become a bit erratic and quite frankly I do not want to try to troubleshoot the heater.

I am tempted to replace it with another chinese diesel heater rather than pay over ten times as much for an ESPAR or WEBASTO heater.

Anyone care to share their experience and recommend a heater?
Many thanks,
