Another heater question

jak1471 · Dec 6, 2010

Hi,

Before saying anything i have searched and cannot find what im after... I have a Defender 90 and i'm commuting a bit too much for my liking so Iv decided to book a camp site between my shifts. However with the recent weather Im looking into a diesel heater that I can run whilst the engine is off to keep the bite off of things.

Iv seen a few threads about diesel heaters but no one can point one out and google can find anything other than huge space heaters.

Any one got one? And where can i find one?

Cheers!!

Looks good that does, 12v or 240v?

12v - will probably take 30-40 amps !

Eberspachers are generally used on canal boats, there are other makes available but I think thats the main one.

As an aside to that, the BT vans at work (Transit cab with a fibreglass rear) come with Eberspacher heaters in them, so they must be pretty decent.

Ouch, was thinking that if it was 240 you could hook it up to your mains on a timer so the matrix would be warm before you got in... perhaps some kind of external pump to circulate the coolant as well?

Eberspacher are the bees neez, very efficient with fairly reasonable fuel usage.

ave already got a Kenlowe pre heater - and a diesel heater - just thought this might be a better alternative to those cheap nasty plug in ones
