Diesel heaters ?

[Faffer and Co]

Hi all, my first question for you all.
I have done a forum search but for some reason, as i am sure this has been asked a similar question on these units. .

I have a spare diesel heater, the cheapo chinese type and was wondering if there frowned upon to be used on caravan site. Its a all in one until but will be in its own box sat outside the caravan. Those of you that use/used then will know they can be loud`ish. I have fitted them to many boats and used them myself so i can understand how they could be annoying.

I dont want to go upsetting anybody so was wondering if there welcomed to be used on sites. Or does it depend on the site really.
If need be ill start to look for a new internal heater for the aravan.

To my mind it's dependant on both the site, and how tolerant your "neigbours" are.
Personally I wouldn't be too happy if it kept firing up in the middle of the night alongside me as, on start up, they are a bit like a Typhoon jet on a re-heat take off

Yes thats my concern. there loud for a small heater. Although they dont switch off once on. i ggt what you mean on start up though.

We find a small, cheap mains fan heater works well - supplements the Alde wet heating which takes a long time to warm up.

My son has a diesel heater fitted to his VW camper. It is a premium one professionally fitted. He says it works very well.

I don’t know if it is incorporated with the engine.
