I have 5 of these heaters in boats and float house. The model you have bought is EU certified , with metal housing. They have doubled in price in the last 6 months
i also have one in my camper van , and yes the price has increased alot in the last two years, i didnt know it was eu certified , so thats good to know
it lasts a long time just like a steel 45 gallon drum , will only get hot enough to burn through if you added a fan to increse temp like a furnace, i did a simpler one years ago it rusted before it burnt through so pretty durable
