@mbloof, no claim, the little 8-10kw diesel heaters like one would use in this application use way less power than a typical rv forced air heater.
@skibum, I can’t see a practical use for a diesel coolant heater like a Webasto in your environment and use. Used them in the Arctic to keep from having to idle a diesel truck to stay warm in it. And yes they also preheat the engine but all of todays light duty diesels will light off unassisted down to -20 to -30F anyways and if it’s that cold consistently (like -30) you have a whole bunch of other things that need to be done to the truck to protect it and keep it operational at sustained extreme temperatures, first.
As an engineer, I understand your logic to a point. But just trying to save you some money and complication for things that you maybe haven’t had experience with.
