Caravan Diesel Heater

Diesel heaters are great for motorhomes where you already have a diesel tank you can draw upon - this makes for an easy installation and takes the thinking out of topping up your caravan heater diesel tank. Otherwise for caravan and RV's without a diesel tank, mounting a 10L diesel tank purely for the sole use of your caravan heater will ensure a warm nights sleep without the risk of your fuel being used up by other means. 

Are diesel caravan heaters reliable?

Buying a quality diesel heater will outlast most non-diesel caravan appliances, this is is why diesel heaters are becoming more and more popular. Regular servicing as you would with any diesel motor or appliance will ensure a source of heat on demand when you most need it.   

How noisey is a diesel caravan heater? 

There often can be a huge difference in noise output between different brands of diesel heaters. We recommend the German brand Eberspacher for a quality unit that is engineered to stand the test of time. Stringent testing with parts tolerances in the manufacturing process helps the overall performance and longevity of the heater and can elimate all the things that make a caravan heater noisy in general. As far as noise levels go, you will hear a quite hum that is no louder than a conventional airconditioner. Stick to the more popular brands which will elimate common issues like ticking noises and jet engine like roaring.       

Are caravan diesel heaters safe?   

Provided they are installed correctly, yes they are. Correctly ventilated and safely mounted diesel heaters will ensure a quiet, worry free and warm sleep. You will not smell the diesel nor come in contact with the exhaust when these units are installed correctly. Like any appliance whether it is 240V, gas or diesel powered, refer to the installation manuals included or engage the services of a qualified installer if you have doubts.     

How much fuel do they use? 

On average the smaller D2 Eberspacher will use 0.10 to 0.28 litres per hour depending on the fan speed setting. We recommend this unit for most caravans in Australian conditions.    

Check out the entire Eberspacher range, an absolute favourite amongst caravanners for its efficient fuel technology along with its ability to quickly heat large spaces. Other Diesel Caravan Heater models available include the Eberspacher Airtronic D2 single and twin outlet versions suitable for most caravans, poptops and camper trailers.
