Webasto Air Top 2000 ST diesel heater — Drakensberg winter review
6 months of ownership, 10 proper off-road trips ranging from day runs to 7-day expeditions. Here is my honest, no-BS review.
Bought from my local ARB dealer for R15k. Fitting took a full Saturday in the driveway with my brother.
Performance: does exactly what it claims and has not let me down in the field.
Compared to the cheaper alternatives: I considered the alternative before buying. The price difference was around R3787. Based on what I have seen from other owners in this community, I think I made the right call — though I acknowledge I have not used the other one personally.
Would I buy again: Without hesitation. Rating: 10/10.
Any specific questions — happy to help. I remember how hard it was to find honest owner reviews before I bought, so I try to pay it forward.

Does it work with the factory roof rails? That is my concern before buying — fitment compatibility. Did you need any adapters?

Just ordered one based on this thread. Delivery to Gqeberha was 3 working days and it arrived well packaged. First impressions match your review — build quality is excellent.
