Diesel Heaters | Stay warm this winter with Patto’s RV Centre Geelong 

Cold nights can definitely make camping challenging. However, a diesel heater keeps your caravan or camper warm, so you can stay comfortable in any season. Whether you camp off-grid or in caravan parks, the right heater makes a big difference, especially in the colder months. Patto’s RV Centre installs diesel heaters for RVs, ensuring warmth and comfort no matter where you go. 

Why choose diesel heaters? 

A diesel heater gives steady warmth without needing 240V connection. More importantly, it runs on diesel from your vehicle’s tank or independent tank, making it an efficient choice. As a result, it’s a great option for off-road trips or free camping. 

Benefits of diesel heaters 

• Use less fuel – It runs efficiently without wasting diesel. 

• Quieter operation – In other words, it keeps you warm without very loud noises. 

• Safe design – It has built-in safety features for peace of mind. 

• Perfect for remote travel – Since it doesn’t need mains power, it is great for off-grid trips. 

How does the diesel heater work? 

RV diesel heaters work by drawing in outside air, burning diesel fuel to heat a heat exchanger, and then circulating the heated air through a duct system to warm the caravan interior, with exhaust gases vented outside. 

How much fuel does a caravan diesel heater use? 

In a well-insulated van, a diesel heater typically consumes around 0.2 to 0.3 liters of fuel per hour, as it needs to run less frequently to maintain the desired temperature. In contrast, an uninsulated van could see the heater running almost constantly, using up to 0.5 liters of fuel per hour to keep the space warm.
