• Automatic altitude compensation: Automatically adjusts combustion parameters up to 5,500 m/18,045 ft so performance remains stable at high elevation.
• Low fuel consumption: Precision fuel pump and a 10 L tank provide long run times and efficiency, consuming roughly 0.16-0.52 L/h for extended overnight use.
• Safety features: Built in timing, preheating, voice prompts and overheating protection to 270 C/518 F improve reliability in vehicles and boats.

Who It's For

This diesel air heater is ideal for owners of small to mid size RVs, campers, trailers and boats who want a compact 12 V heater that heats quickly and offers remote and app control. It suits users who travel to higher elevations, thanks to the built in altitude compensation that removes the need for manual tuning.

It may not be the best choice for those who need whisperquiet operation above all else or who lack basic electrical and fuel plumbing skills; a few users report mixed noise and fuel pump comments, so if absolute silence or an installer service is required, consider professional installation or an alternative designed specifically for ultra low noise.
