THE FRONT BOOT
ECONOMICAL DIESEL HEATER

WARM GLOW

Think diesel caravan heaters for Australian RVs and there ’ s a good chance your mind will turn to the Eberspächer , which has been fitted to thousands of vans in this country over 20-plus years . However , it is now being distributed in Australia by Modular Wholesale .
Eberspächer is one the world ’ s leading manufacturers of climate control systems for mobile applications , from passenger cars and RVs , to agricultural and forestry machines .
While this heater ’ s primary fuel source is diesel , it does use 1-2A of battery power . It provides about 10 hours of run time for about 1L of diesel , with an output of up to 2.2kW – perfect for those cold nights and mornings in the caravan .
Further , it comes with a timer that you could mount to the wall of the caravan , allowing you to set the Eberspächer diesel heater to come on at , say , 6am , so the van is warmed up before you get out of bed .
