Have a look at this forum, lots of good info here. Ive installed one in my caravan, not had a problem. Not a huge job. Sounds like you need an all in one  heater for a shed.

Unless your shed is small or well insulated , you might need to get a 5kW model. Ignore 8kW claims as they are actually 5kW I have two installed in the HINO.

Yes, off ebay. There are possibly 20 variants on the market - mostly differences in motherboard programming, control panel function and remote control. Expect typical chinglish instructions that might bear little resemblance to reality, but despite that, most manage to get good service out of them. Main problems afflict compulsive tinkerers who insist on altering fuel air mixtures without requisite knowledge.

Go onto ebay and find a few listings which have a photograph of the whole kit laid out on a table.

Compare the parts supplied across a number of photographs to find the one with the most bits.

Now you know what you should be getting search for a supplier who supplies the full kit for the lowest price.

Go for a 5kW unit.
