There are many different types of heating for campervans and the best option will depend entirely on what sort of van you have, how you use it and how much you want to spend!
Fantastic Customer Service: It's in Kiravans DNA. As a bunch of enthusiastic, professional Yorkshire people (and 1 Scotsman living in Munich!), our customer service team have a straight forward approach to problem solving. If you have a question or need advice, we're here to help. Just give us a call on 0113 804 2125 or use the live chat button. If we know the answer we'll tell you, if not we'll find out out for you. This diesel heater is a great choice if you plan on seeking out mountain snow. There’s an automatic altitude adjustment which Webasto says will keep the heater functional up to 7,218 feet above sea level. The manufacturer strives to constantly improve its products, and the latest version of the EVO 40 features an upgraded fuel dosing pump. This means that, like the 2000 STC, this diesel heater is whisper-quiet, even when running at full-blast. If you’re reading this blog you are most likely at the starting point of planning your new campervan conversion, or you may simply want to add a system or upgrade your existing campervan heating solution? Either way, we’ll try and guide you through the benefits of installing a diesel heater. Faster equals louder. You need to run the unit at a higher setting to achieve the same heat output as the 5kW version. This means higher fan and fuel pump pulse rate (which means it’ll be louder if you’re in a larger van or you’re in a camper trailer with lots of canvas)
The noise can make a difference depending on where the heater is located. If it is installed under the bed and you are going to be using it as your camper van night heater, you will want it to be quieter, so the noise may be more of an issue. As I mentioned above, you can either connect your diesel heater directly to your main diesel tank, or you can have a separate fuel tank. This is subject to personal preference and ease of installation. Connecting directly to the main tank is a much more efficient way due to low cost, space-saving and ease of filling up. The MV Airo includes an upgraded control switch, offering more flexibility than those supplied with other makes of diesel heater. It can work either as a thermostat (so it switches off when a temperature is reached) or to set a constant heat output from 0.9 to 2kw (so it works constantly at an appropriate output, and does not cut in and out through the night).
This model comes with everything you need to plumb it into your van’s own diesel tank (if fitting to the top of the tank) as well as a 10 litre tank if you would prefer to keep it separated. Running the heater from the included 10 litre tank will make this significantly easier to install. Also note that the instruction manuals on these budget heaters may be very limited or mostly in Chinese! 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. Now I have my industrial unit I could strip stuff down and had places to store all the crap while I did the work and it wasn't so much of a hassle to do.And don’t worry about safety – the exhaust gases containing combustion by-products are expelled safely outside the vehicle. There are various things to think about if you have a converted or modified campervan and want to install heating:
