Most camper diesel heaters are extremely efficient using between 0.1 and 0.6 litres of diesel per hour. The figures are similar for budget and premium models. Noise As the heater gets up to temperature, you’ll notice the lines across the bottom of the ‘diesel heater’ image increase on the screen
Many of the Chinese diesel heaters have a handy timer function. They are especially useful if you want to have it automatically turn on before you get out of bed in the morning or if you’re out at night and want to return to a toasty caravan. Now, it is worth mentioning that, with any item that has an unusually low cost (when compared to similar items), it is not surprising to expect a loss in quality. However, taking a look at all the comment from verified owners, as well as having a good read of all the online forums dedicated to Chinese diesel air heaters, a substantial amount of users do in-fact report that the maXpeedingrods diesel air heater is well built and works remarkably well.

This heater is capable of providing an impressive 5000 watts of heat energy. That is more than enough heat for anything up to a large campervan. Its reliable, efficient, and low-cost – what more could you ask for? The main operations of the heater are all done via a responsive LCD control panel. The display is bright and is multi-coloured. The information displayed on the screen is easy to read and simple to understand and the operating system is intuitive and very responsive. Why We Recommend This Model In this guide I focus on air heaters, but in the future I suspect hydronic heaters will become more popular as they become more affordable. Heat output There are lots of companies offering this type of budget heater (Maxpeedingrods, Vevor, FlowerW), all with different power options. This is the 5KW version which is suitable for mid-sized or large vans, such as Sprinters or Transits. There are more powerful versions available but this works fine in our Renault Master. If you have a smaller, Transporter-sized van I would opt for the 2KW version.
Usually I wouldn’t recommend cheap brands nobody has ever heard of for something as important as a campervan heater. For example, my top recommendations for campervan fridges, leisure batteries and solar panels are all by reputable brands, since most of the time you get what you pay for. Buying a diesel night heater for campervan use in the UK can be a hard decision with such a wide range of options and prices. If you’re looking for a heater with a warranty and longevity, opt for the more premium models. Budget heaters use cheaper materials which are more likely to fail over the shorter term and warranties are non-existent. Fuel efficiency As you can see from the table the main differences between the budget and premium models are the cost and warranty availability. The only thing not considered in this table is the build quality. How does a diesel heater work in a campervan?
