Lets talk heaters

2 problems with tapping existing fuel lines. 1, you can empty the tank with the heater.2, If it is a diesel you are introducing points of possible air leaks to the fuel system.


I agree.....that's why I built my diesel heater in a box. Portable and stand alone. ?

We have a Webasto Thermotop E diesel powered coolant heater. I would avoid gasoline from safety and availability perspectives. Our vehicle is diesel, so that is always available.
It provides central heating and hot water via a calorifier. It is also connected to the engine so the engine can provide waste heat without running the Webasto.
In reverse, the Webasto can pre-heat the engine in cold conditions, a feature that I would consider essential for you.
Cheers,

Does someone offer a combo gasoline heater/water heater? I have seen this with Truma, but not sure if there is an equivalent version for gasoline - if that's even possible.


I dont think there is one yet. Only a gas air or water heater. Maybe in the future there will be a gas combo? That would be great for providing more options
