Snugger SF2 Portable Diesel Heater

Interested too.

Reading the manual they are not exactly portable when in use as they have to be fixed to floor and vented to the outside and instructions are fairly specific and technical

Hi Gary you are right it can be stand alone and piped into your van but at that price i would have a good look at the genesis hot water system with cabin heater that is what I have think it was about $1800.00 continuous heating and as a bonus hot water

Remembering that the rules regarding things exhausting into Annexes have changed and if it does you must have at least 2 open sides which virtually ruins the idea of an annex.

If you read their website carefully you can see the obvious advantages of their system.

Naturally you wouldn't have it inside the annex but if you put it under the van and point the exhaust / inlet out to the other side of the van it would be out of the weather, and if the air flow ducting were piped were into the annex and out it would work very well.

If you were to use it in a tent it would just need a small external A frame over it with the air flow piped into and out of the tent.

There was a system like this on the market from the USA that basically used a gas stove under it , but it was withdrawn off the market as the heat exchangers burned out too easily and it then pumped the monoxide into the tent.

One thing to keep in mind is that all diesel heaters use a bit of power
when starting up (8A for this unit) so you'll need the battery capacity to run it.
