Our Verdict
I recently put the 5/8KW Diesel Air Heater to the test to see if it could actually handle the harsh temperatures of a cold-weather camping trip. As an all-in-one heating system, it promised to keep my van cozy without the typical noise headaches associated with portable diesel units.
Performance & Build Quality
The unit feels sturdy for its size, designed specifically for the rigors of mobile use in trucks or RVs. Its integrated housing keeps the components protected, and the inclusion of a silencer is a major step up in build quality compared to standard raw-exhaust models.
Day-to-Day Experience
Setting up the heater for stationary use was straightforward, and the remote control makes it incredibly easy to adjust settings without having to leave my sleeping bag. While there is a slight learning curve for the initial prime, the operation becomes second nature after a few uses.
This heater is perfect for van-lifers, truckers, and campers who need a compact, quiet, and reliable heating source for stationary overnight stays.
Final Thoughts
For a price of $27.99, the performance is hard to beat, earning it a solid 4.64/5 rating in my testing. It is a highly practical investment for anyone looking to stay comfortable on the road regardless of the season.
