    Wuld be good if you can make it. 👍 If you can, be sure to add your names for catering.

    Oh - just found this video which is about recoed units but it is pretty good at showing the operation of it and at the end they take the lid off - my unit is absolutely identical to this - even the little catch that holds the front of the control module on is the same. 😁 The video shows this one heating up very quickly - mine takes longer but I have a feeling they had already run this one and had it warm already which makes a big difference.

    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    Noise isn't bad by any stretch and inside it's perfectly quiet, it's only the exhaust that makes a rumble - I would probably limit my use of it late at night or early in the morning if someone was in a tent near me and it was a quiet evening, but you wouldn't hear it over a light wind for example so not bad.

    Re Winter Wombat, head to the thread - Winter Wombat 2018 - and have a look through it. Copy and paste the list of names and add your own in. Maybe PM Alien as well and confirm with him as numbers for catering will be fixed from the weekend before. 👍

    So yours is a 5kw model with 2 outlets according to the link earlier on, I'm thinking a 2kw and 1 outlet would probly do for our 17.6 pop top,and hopefully a bit easier on the 12 volt, only have 100 amp at moment, not 400 like some Cheap Ebay diesel heaters,although lithium is on my wish list, so is the money to pay for it Cheap Ebay diesel heaters, thanks for all the info much appreciated

    Yep, a 5KW unit but only one outlet in the kit I got, which is fine. A 3KW would do in my van easy now I know more about them, a 2KW should be fine in something a bit smaller.

    You can always turn down a 5kw unit but cannot turn up a 2kw unit. Go to ebay, I bought two there for under $150 each. One is a whole lot of components I have not yet installed in my camper and the second is a portable unit in a steel box that requires external 12v power and it comes with intake pipes and exhaust. I have used this with my 101 and to heat the garage and could also be used to heat a tent. It works really well but I bought an extended exhaust pipe to ensure exhaust gases are kept well away. People complaint about the clicking of the fuel pump but it is not so bad. Once the unit gets up to temp it is quiet enough.

    This is similar to the portable unit I got 5-8KW 12V Air Diesel Heater Remote Control Thermostat Caravan Boat Car RV Trail | eBay

    This is similar to the other one I am yet to install in my camper 5KW Diesel Air Heater 10L Tank Remote Control Thermostat Caravan Motorhome RV | eBay

    Prices jump around a lot so pick your time to buy.

    Yeah, i thought i read that a 5kw even at the lowest temp might be too hot. Cant find where i read it so my just get a 5kw anyway, can always open a window.

    They run on a thermostat/controller so switch off when the required temp is reached. The portable unit has the thermostat in the controller which is on the unit so if you use one of these an extension cable will be needed to move it to the area you are wanting to heat.
