Van Diesel Heaters.

Hi all, Just received a new 2Kw heater yesterday by courier.

Ordered it last Wednesday on line and it took less than a week to come from the manufacturer in China.
It is identical to the Planer 2Kw model, right down to the bag of bits and pieces.
and the best part is it only cost $546.00 delivered.

What is missing???
Well I do need to find a suitable tank. Plenty of them to choose from.
And it doesn't seem to have a muffler. Once again if required shouldn't be an issue to find something suitable.

Has no clever digital display, but a simple wind up knob and a couple of LEDs to let you know whats happening.
Hope to install the unit over the next month and will keep all posted.

The unit has been designed for a steel floor similar to a motor vehicle.
So a little thought/design is required to ensure the holes in the timber floor are not too close to the exhaust heat.
Maybe fit the unit to a SS or Ally plate and have a little more clearance between the hot and the floor. Sealing a larger hole will be a bit easier as well.

The website for the unit is :http://www.xrglobal.com/e_products/
The website also has the Webasto diesel heater in its heading. Interesting

As I do the install I will add photos of the work, cutout and general mounting.

I do not think there is any rocket science involved.
Just plain old common sense and a bit of thought will have it in and going within a day.

Regards

Geoff
