About this deal
As a reputable heating solutions provider, VEVOR knows how crucial keeping a space pleasant throughout the coldest months is. You can rely on effective heating from VEVOR Diesel Heaters that keeps you cozy and gives you peace of mind. If you have a bigger campervan, such as a Mercedes Sprinter or a Renault Master (like I have), opt for a 5KW heater or bigger. They use inductive (brushless) electric motors designed for uninterrupted operation for 12,000 hours.
vs 5KW heater. I chose the 2KW heater because I would rather have one that could go very low and use the least diesel rather than work most efficiently in the winter. I think this was the correct decision. The 5KW in my van cab pumps out a LOT more heat on the lowest setting and would have been too much for my caravan. It doesn’t have a thermostat, rather it has different heat settings which can be adjusted on the digital control panel or via the remote control. There is also the option to set a timer – instant heat from the comfort of your van bed!You will also want to opt for a 5KW heater if you plan to spend long periods in cold temperatures and not just the odd weekend. Plumbed or non-plumbed This universal kit, includes the fuel lines, pump, exhaust, wiring harness, controller etc. that you'd need to fit the heater. Summary. Not as noisy as expected, much cheaper to run than expected. Dead easy to install and a good level of heat even on the lowest setting. For a caravan it is better because refillable LPG are not always practical. For a motorhome if you use the main diesel tank I think it still works out cheaper than LPG in a refillable but perhaps not as clear cut depending on the price of Diesel. However, if you are fulltiming during the winter. Having the diesel heater running from your main tank gives you a much long run time before needing to seek a refill. With a dual 13KG gaslow in the peak of winter you would be seeking a refill every 14-18 days. A 90 Litre tank in a fiat ducato would last 53 Days. So there is that advantage to consider also. In 2009 and 2010 winters I got snowed in and had a hellish job getting cyclinders delivered. I couldn't get out to get my Gaslow bottles topped up. It hasn't happened since, but...
When it comes to this product, there is more to learn. Numerous characteristics distinguish a high-quality heater from a low-quality one. Think about the following factors when purchasing your next diesel heater:This is the most important factor to consider. You need to buy the right sized heater to fit your van. If you have a small van such as a VW transporter, a 2KW heater will be fine. This will be able to heat the van whilst running at a low output. Sure, it’s a cheap Chinese made version of a Webasto but if it works then why not? Just be aware that the lifetime of this product may likely be much shorter than a Webasto or Eberspacher. We bought this heater under the assumption that it may only last 1-2 years, after which we may need to replace it. Most camper diesel heaters are extremely efficient using between 0.1 and 0.6 litres of diesel per hour. The figures are similar for budget and premium models. Noise
Diesel heaters offer exact temperature regulation when heating your car, letting you maintain the desired heat level. The heating system will automatically function at its lowest levels to keep up the desired degree of warmth once the target temperature has been reached. Additionally, diesel heaters function quite quietly when placed properly, allowing you to travel silently. Most heaters will come with a silencer designed to reduce the noise produced by the heater. The more expensive models will be better at reducing noise, so this may be a factor to consider when choosing which model to buy. Are campervan diesel heaters safe? A diesel heater is an instantaneous heating system for the interior of cars, boats, sheds, and other closed-off areas. It brings air in through an exterior intake pipe, mixing it with diesel fuel and lighting it on fire in the combustion compartment. A heat exchanger's huge surface area is heated during this operation.Then, after entering the heat exchanger to be heated and being blasted out of the cabin by an internal blower, cool air is taken out of the cabin. The combustion air that escapes is discharged outside via an exhaust pipe, keeping it separate from the interior air.
It requires very little energy and fuel to keep the temperature at the desired level after you've achieved it. Because of this, diesel heaters are among the most economical heating products. In contrast to conventional motor petrol, diesel is quite inexpensive.Different kits have different accessories. For example, some kits include a T-piece (steering tuyere), which means you can change your single-vent heater to a 3-vent one. And if you have a little baby, you can opt for a kit with double mufflers, to minimize the noise possible. 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. Noise levels are therefore not an issue at all with the 2Kw heaters at low. And at low it is heating my caravan beautifully. I have had to turn it off once due to it getting too hot in here once, the sun was out and heating the van up. Third, although it may come as a surprise, altitude has a significant role. The more fuel you use, the higher you will go. If you intend to maintain an extremely low attitude or average ground level, it is optional for you to give it any thought. The heaters suggested in this guide all run on 12v systems so can easily be connected to your leisure battery. After the initial surge, this draw of energy will be around 1 amp per hour.
