Diesel heaters ?? Any good ??

They will blast you out of your RV, no problem. Lol

They are used on boats all the time and provide warm, dry heat in the coldest conditions for very little 12v usage. They keep up easily on interiors the size of a big class A that is uninsulated.

Probably the best thing you could buy for an RV.

Rebar/Espar, Webasto. These are the best. There are some Chinese knockoffs people are using successfully too.

They certainly seem popular on the YouTuber lately. Chinese factories sending free units to anyone that'll give them a glowing video review.

I’ve actually installed a gasoline version. Puts out way more apparent heat than the rating.

Ask boaters in the PNW. Standard equipment for cold and wet conditions.

Do you have a link for this?

I'm very curious. Never saw the gasoline version.

Webasto Gasoline airtop on Amazon

Couldn’t find one in the US, imported from the UK.

I wonder if these things are DOT approved for use on American roadways, or DHS approved for use in American mobile homes?

Years ago we owned a Volkswagen Thing with a gasoline heater. The Thing was basically a tin can with a cloth roof. The gasoline heater worked very well.

Grew up in Michigan. My older brother bought an early 60s VW that had a gasoline heater under the back seat.

He would go out start it up and turn the heater on high and it would melt the snow on the roof and de-ice the front windshield.

You had to crack windows to run it while driving, even on low.

Pretty sure the now dead thread “First I bought the van” installed the Webasto.
