Love My Mt Mansfield

[Myron]

Just a quick note to Les @ Rovers North and to all other Series Land Rover enthusiasts out there regarding my Mt. Mansfield heater. I know this is a frequent topic on this board, so now that winter is here (in Michigan, anyway) I can let you all know how well it works. I just got my vehicle back on the road this past summer after a 4 year comprehensive restoration, and I struggled with the cost of the Mt Mansfield, but I have no regrets now.

Before I restored my Land Rover, I had a classic Smiths round heater, which looked cool but, frankly, sucked when it came to battling a Michigan winter. So I sold it to a guy restoring a Morgan and bought the Mt. Mansfield. It's like having an imaginary, massless duct of infinite length pumping hot air directly from a volcanic vent, minus the toxic gases, of course. And, unlike the Smiths heater, it actually defrosts and demists my windows since it has a fresh air intake. No more squeegeeing! If you're on the fence about the Mt. Mansfield and afraid to take the plunge, I encourage you to open your wallet and get one. Mine works great.

Happy Holidays to Land Rover Drivers Everywhere,

Myron

What's the price on one of these?

I realize they are offered in a couple of different forms, but how about for a IIa, and in all forms.

RoversNorth personnel?

Thanks,

I love it! Myron, could i use your words in future advertising?

Just curious: how does the presence of the brake booster relate to the heater units ?

Best regards, Andrew

We use this as a rule of thumb, to determine that a Smith's heater (engine bay mount style) was fitted (post booster fitment) as compared to a Kodiak II/III/IV, pre-booster fitment.
Hope this clarifies my previous post.

Guilty as charged, Steve. I've been a RN customer for about 14 years now, and I read the board often, but I'm more of a lurker. However, I accept your challenge and will attempt to remedy this this weekend.

Are you in Michigan?

Yes, Troy between Detroit and Pontiac.

good to hear another praise for the heater.

we discussed this on another thread and I admit, your description is much better than mine!!

not sure if I were as convincing.

I too would agree completely with the effectiveness of the Mt Mansfield. I dare say anyone who has one would also agree. It might be easier to ask for a show of hands of anyone who has or had one that was NOT happy with it. (sound of crickets chirping)
