Avoid cold toes in the middle of the night
When embarking on campervan adventures, maintaining a warm and comfortable interior is essential, especially during chilly nights. One effective solution is installing a diesel night heater. At Spartan Campers, we specialize in fitting high-quality Autoterm heaters, ensuring our clients enjoy optimal warmth and efficiency. Let’s explore the advantages of having a diesel night heater in your campervan.
Efficient and Consistent Heating
Diesel heaters are renowned for their ability to provide consistent and efficient heating. They draw in fresh air, heat it, and distribute it evenly throughout the campervan, ensuring a cosy environment regardless of external temperatures. This system allows for rapid warming, making your space comfortable in no time.
Fuel Efficiency and Integration
One of the standout features of diesel heaters is their fuel efficiency. Models like the Autoterm Air 2D consume as little as 0.24 liters of diesel per hour at maximum power, making them economical for extended use. Additionally, these heaters can be integrated to draw fuel directly from the vehicle’s diesel tank, simplifying refuelling and reducing the need for separate fuel storage.
Low Power Consumption
Diesel heaters are designed to operate with minimal electrical power, making them ideal for off-grid camping. Their low power draw ensures that your vehicle’s battery isn’t overly taxed, preserving energy for other essential systems and extending your ability to stay off-grid.
Reliability in Extreme Conditions
Autoterm heaters are engineered to perform reliably in extreme temperatures, with operational capabilities down to -45°C (-49°F). This reliability ensures that even in the harshest conditions, your campervan remains a warm sanctuary, allowing you to venture into colder climates without concern.
Compact and Space-Saving Design
Space is a premium in campervans, and diesel heaters like the Autoterm Air 2D are designed with compactness in mind. Their small footprint allows for flexible installation options, ensuring that valuable space is preserved for other amenities.
Safety and Compliance
Safety is paramount when it comes to heating solutions. Autoterm heaters are built to ISO 9001-2015 standards and have E2 R10 and E2 R122 approvals for use in road vehicles, ensuring they meet rigorous safety and quality benchmarks. Features like built-in fail-safe systems and self-diagnostic capabilities further enhance safety by automatically shutting down the heater in case of errors, such as battery drain or flame failure.
User-Friendly Controls
Modern diesel heaters come equipped with intuitive control panels, allowing users to set and maintain their desired temperatures effortlessly. Some models offer remote operation via smartphone apps, providing convenience and flexibility in managing your campervan’s climate.
Dry Heat Output
Unlike some heating methods that can introduce moisture into the air, diesel heaters provide dry heat. This characteristic helps in reducing condensation within the campervan, preserving the integrity of your vehicle and ensuring a more comfortable living environment.
Cost-Effective Heating Solution
While the initial investment in a diesel heater may be higher compared to other heating options, the long-term benefits and efficiencies often result in cost savings. Their durability, fuel efficiency, and low maintenance requirements make them a financially sound choice for avid travellers.
