Many of the Marathon's have two solenoid vavles in the engine area. One is normally closed, and one is normally open. If you turn on your heater, the Webasto fires, and by default, the return path does not go through the engine.
If you hit the "Block Heat" switch on the drivers dash (not the block heat in the electrical panel), then these two solenoids are reversed, and return coolant is sent through the engine before returning to the webasto.
It's great IF it works. In my case, and Adam DeGraf's case, the solenoid valves were clogged and not functional causing an issue. (I still have to fix mine). In speaking with Marathon, they are now removing the guts of the two valves, and letting the water cycle in both areas, all the time. Evidently this is what they did for Adam at a recent service in Coburg.
I hope to get some time perhaps this weekend to try to clean the valves, and see if that clears the issue. The solenoid valves are not cheap, and I'd rather not replace, if possible.
Anyway, that's how (some) Marathon's do it.
