Practical items for camping—a diesel heater

[HarperWking]

If you’re into camping like I am, you need to try a diesel heater. When the temperature drops, it can help you keep out the cold.
Honestly, I was skeptical at first. I thought it would be noisy, smelly, or just too complicated. But I think the diesel heater will be fine as long as it is installed correctly
After using it once—I was sold.
On freezing nights, when it’s well below zero outside, I just turn it on, and within minutes, my tent feels like a cozy cabin.Super comfortable.
It’s way quieter than I expected, and I barely notice it’s running. The best part? I don’t have to constantly feed it fuel or babysit it. That means I can focus on making dinner, taking photos, or just sitting back and watching the snow fall. But dont forget to choose fuel-efficient and quiet ones, which can reduce trouble.

Although we are primarily a motorhome/campervan site all are welcome.

Many of us have Diesel heaters fitted in our vans in fact I have just had one fitted - obviously I've not had a chance to use it yet due to the weather but I'm confident it will be effective.

A quick Google search tells me that you have joined other groups today with the same intro - do I feel a sell coming on?

Forgive me if I'm wrong but it happens a lot.

The issue with diesel heaters is their 12v power needs. They draw about 1.0 to 1.5A when running, which is OK. The problem is that they draw about 10A for five to ten minutes when starting and when stopping.
If they detect a low voltage whilst starting, they throw a tantrum and an error code. So you need a good battery!

You are so cynical! When a link to a eBay listing just happens to come next I am sure you will be dying to get one
