Has anyone got experience of these things?
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5KW-12V-D....c100005.m1851 ![]() I've seen one from a reputable 4x4 shop for 800 Euros, so not expecting huge things from this. Any experience? Any recommendations? It'd extend the camping season somewhat... |

There’s a lot of reviews and fitting videos on YouTube. The feedback I’ve seen is pretty good too. The fuel pump tends to tick and can be loud of placed incorrectly. I don’t like the way the fuel line attaches to the plastic fuel tank provided. Personally I think they look good but think it might be better to run a feed from main vehicle fuel tank and place the pump maybe underneath the vehicle but protected from the elements.

A friend has one fitted to his R###e R###r (
![]() He has a separate battery system for it, and can remotely fire it up to heat/defrost the car without starting it. It is so efficient he is going to rig one up in his barn of a garage, with ducting to direct the heating strategically, and possibly use red diesel to reduce costs..... |

I have the 8kw version,worked straight out of the box, limited heat in my workshop but a tank runs for 11/2 days and takes the chill off.
If its for a camper or vehicle i have seen discussions that a 5kw is enough. Also they make a version that heats water as well. |
