Product Information

If the wiring is ran too close to the generated heat it can result in a short circuit and a damaged circuit board. Take your time with the install and protect the wires. Electric fan heaters are also a common option however usually require an electric hook up which may not be an option depending on where you are camping. The cost of the products high high but again, you are getting a well supported, well established, tried and tested reliable diesel heater for your Transporter. Webasto are a long established UK based diesel heater manufacturer and have been operating since 1901. Webasto diesel heaters have a similar high quality reputation to the German manufacturer Eberspacher. Diesel heaters are seen to be one of the safest forms of heating in a campervan providing they are installed correctly with the correct vents in place. Diesel heaters also usually come with a safety cut off to prevent them overheating.

Diesel heater fuel is also very hard to ignite meaning it is extremely unlikely to pose a fire hazard within your campervan unlike other alternatives such as gas.With the Ambienceo being 2kW you will probably never have to raise the temperature above its lowest setting in a Transporter (which is why |I do not recommend the 5kW). The heater comes as a full kit including a small diesel tank which makes it appealing to those that do not want to connect a heater into their main diesel tank. These heaters in 5kW trim are also suitable for larger vans and yahcts, there is infact a growing trend to install them in home garages and small workshops due to their reliability and low running costs. Buying a diesel night heater for campervan use in the UK can be a hard decision with such a wide range of options and prices. The plumbed diesel heaters are harder to fit and require a few hours to install correctly, they are more of a permanent solution to heating your vehicle.

On the lowest setting these heaters use around 0.2L of diesel per hour – with a 10L tank that gives them running time of between 20 and 50 hours on a tank.

So in conclusion, buy the diesel heater that best suits your budget however bear in mind that the higher quality products are usually installed as a permanent solution. All of the diesel heaters reviewed here offer good value for money and are considered strong contenders in the UK for various reasons. If you are looking for a high quality, long lasting product for a good quality conversion I would always recommend a Eberspacher or Webasto. On the lowest setting you can expect to reach 20-21 degreees inside the van very rapidly. It is good practice to run them occasionally on full heat to prevent carbon build up (which can cause running issues) Many of the cheaper Chinese diesel heaters are designed to be stand alone and have their own built in diesel tank. Fitting a diesel heater is especially common in the UK where nights can be cold even in the summer months.
