Product Information

The disadvantage of fitting location is that it takes up space under the seat and most likely means that space is not available for leisure batteries unless you can find a very narrow one of them. 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. It wasn't until I started testing it I suddenly thought about having that fan/tick right next to my head whilst trying to sleep and got a bit concerned. That and the fact that it's got a 15A fuse has got me wondering if this is going to flatten my leisure battery if I use it for any length of time when I have no mains hookup (which is the main situation when I'll need it.

Environmentally product, low emissions, low fuel consumption; heater exhaust emissions to meet euro IV engine emissions requirements. The ducting takes the internal air from inside the vehicle from the footwell step area so it is warming the already warmer internal air and then ducts it back through another ducting to provide the warm air. For external fitting External mounting box is recommended to prevent heater to be exposed to water and road dirt. Can feed hot air duct up into van in corner by seatbelt - I’m banking on this as there is no room with leis battery under seat.ft/30 m long control distance and timing system allow you to preheat the engine and the cab in advance so you can enjoy the warmth of home when you open the vehicle's door in winter. If you want to fit your diesel heater outside your van then you can purchase the external fitting kit here. Or you can upgrade to the comfort controller, allowing for a better display and timer functionality.

This fear turned out to be unfounded as once the cushions were back on it is actually quieter than the blower in my Truma gas/electric heater. On the lowest setting it's just enough to air things through and perhaps dry things out without damaging them. The 5KW are a lot cheaper and easier to make than the 2KW so this why the majority of heaters that will show up when you type 2KW Chinese diesel heaters will be 5KW . My thinking was, if I am fitting it myself and am happy to try and resolve any issues - I would just go cheap. The thickness of the flooring (wood) and then the metal floor of the van must take up quite a bit of depth of the inlets/outlet spouts on the bottom of the heater.The disadvantages are that it is a bit more vulnerable to being stolen and that there is potentially a tiny bit of heat loss through the ducting which runs to the heater. Rob and Mike both have one of these in their vans as they make a huge difference to family comfort when camping or even just having a day by the beach! When it comes to 2KW HEATERS there are not that many choices on the market to be honest with you and the ones that are out there are pretty much always the same and come with the same three button control panel. The all in one heater units have been adapted from the units that are designed to be built into vans so they are portable and can be used to heat different things like garages, sheds, tents etc and that is what they are perfect for. Volatile technology, by the ceramic ignition plug will fuel heating evaporated into gas, fast ignition, full combustion.

It also pulls around 10 Amps for a couple of minutes during it's "cool down cycle" when you turn it off. The 2KW AUTOTERM 2D is the most compact heater model in the production line, it is intended for use in Campervans, motorhomes, crew cabins and work spaces, commercial vans and trucks, as well as boats that are up to 28 feet long. Keep constant temperature: the intelligent overheating sensor can prevent the heater from running dry.

It pulls around 10 Amps on start up, for 3 or 4 minutes, then about 2 Amps on high, quickly dropping to around 1 Amp when it is up to temperature and "ticking over" to maintain that temperature. These now come with the addition of an exhaust silencer and a combustion air silencer to further reduce noise. This is a great product for those who need to additionally heat small truck cabins, commercial vehicle cabins and cargo compartments, small campers, off-highway vehicles or boats of up to 33 ft/10 m.

The units above this section are the correct type of unit for van installs as the exhaust manifold goes through your van floor underneath your vehicle and is sealed up so no fumes can get in, for more info on this please check out our fitting guide at the bottom of the post. If you install one of these units inside a van then the exhaust manifold that you attach the exhaust pipe to would always be on the inside of the van and this is where it gets dangerous, if there is a leak from that point then the leak (and fumes) will be inside the van and that will cause carbon monoxide poisoning.

I fitted a Lithium battery just to power the diesel heater (for now) as the caravan battery and charger crapped it's pants and didn't like running the diesel heater.
