I had a Webasto on my 110 mounted low down - about 2 foot along the exhaust manifold in terms of position on the car - ie low but at the back of the engine compartment. That unit had many dunkings and plenty of mud action. It ran fine through all of that BUT you will need to ensure that there is a air-lock bend in the exhaust pipe. Also my Webasto stopped after a while as the spark arrester had got blocked. Apparently it is common for units that run for long periods at less than full power (I'd been to Norway and ran it constantly for two weeks even with the engine running so couldn't be sure if that was just some lame warranty excuse). Anyway the received wisdom from Webasto was to remove the spark arrester - it worked fine after that. There is also the possibility of the exhaust getting bunged up with mud being scraped off the ground if the exhaust is very low on the car (my 110 had it emerging under the passenger seat). They are not particularly quiet either and people complain in quiet campsites.
