The answer is usually yes, but make sure to read the manufacturer's directions for compatibility and specific instructions. Usually I wouldn’t recommend cheap brands nobody has ever heard of for something as important as a campervan heater. For example, my top recommendations for campervan fridges, leisure batteries and solar panels are all by reputable brands, since most of the time you get what you pay for.

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. A diesel heater will make your car life considerably more comfortable and fun. It is dependable for warming up. Owners of vehicles can benefit from the various advantages of a diesel heater.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

Webasto are a well established company with a reputation for building high quality products. This is a high end product which is reliable and well supported however, this obviously comes with a big price tag. I selected this heater as the premium heater choice over a similar model by German company Eberspacher, because they are slightly cheaper for the comparable quality. 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? Compact structure, easy to move. When the vehicle is replaced, it can be disassembled to the new car. The LCD dynamic display will clearly show the running state of the machine. Fuel, electricity, temperature can be set arbitrarily. There are lots of companies offering this type of budget heater (Maxpeedingrods, Vevor, FlowerW), all with different power options. This is the 5KW version which is suitable for mid-sized or large vans, such as Sprinters or Transits. There are more powerful versions available but this works fine in our Renault Master. If you have a smaller, Transporter-sized van I would opt for the 2KW version. Our budget campervan diesel heater Planar diesel heaters have fast become synonymous with great quality and fantastic customer services, all at a fraction of the cost of their competitors.The capacity of the AUTOTERM 2kw air heater is between 0.8 kW and 2 kW, and it is capable of heating up 75 m3 of air hourly.

You will spend less on heating costs because of their affordability.

As you can see from the table the main differences between the budget and premium models are the cost and warranty availability. The only thing not considered in this table is the build quality. How does a diesel heater work in a campervan? 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... 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. You don't want to use your savings to get a car heater diesel to pay too much for fuel. Choose a model whose specifications meet your requirements. Nothing more or less.

These diesel heaters are rated at 2kw or 4kw and would be perfect for heating most medium to large sized vans. They can be installed in various positions inside or under the vehicle, and there are some options regarding the placement of the outlets and the controllers. Diesel heating systems come in various sizes and configurations and can be utilized for commercial and residential uses. 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. The most common type of diesel heater is the air heater which simply blows out hot air. The air and water heater blows hot air and acts as a water heater. Finally, the most modern type of diesel heater is the hydronic heater which blows hot air and heats water but also use the excess heat energy produced by the engine as a fuel source, effectively providing a limited amount of free energy from your drives. Volatile technology, by the ceramic ignition plug will fuel heating evaporated into gas, fast ignition, full combustion.

In addition my gas heater just doesn't cut it in the winter even on full blast. So a Diesel heater has been long on the cards. The second factor is the temperature that the air heater must bear. For instance, if your area experiences severe winters. You can anticipate considerable fuel and energy usage from your indoor diesel heater when operating. The diesel air heater will have to burn through more fuel to provide you with the required heat. 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! These now come with the addition of an exhaust silencer and a combustion air silencer to further reduce noise. This model also comes with a silencer which makes the heater that much quieter. There is however, some noise from the pump whilst the heater is running. Separate silencers are available to buy if required. Most modern vans have a pressured fuel system. Do not attempt to just plumb straight into a fuel line using a 'T' piece. Fuel must come directly from the fuel tank using the standpipe supplied. FeaturesFor an all-in-one diesel heater, the oil pump, 5L fuel tank, oil filter, and main engine have all been formed in a solid case, which greatly saves installation time. 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. Low electrical power consumption – heaters require a surge in power to get going but once up and running use very little electricity (around 0.5 to 1 amps once running). Diesel heaters are therefore low wattage heaters for camper vans. Remember to consider the small surge required by a heater when calculating your solar energy costs. If you’re looking for a heater with a warranty and longevity, opt for the more premium models. Budget heaters use cheaper materials which are more likely to fail over the shorter term and warranties are non-existent. Fuel efficiency
