Customer Reviews for 12V 5KW Diesel Air Heater for RV Motorhome Trailer Trucks Boats 5kW + LCD Switch

Used for heating shed/workshop. Does the job

Could do with better instructions to get it fitted

This heater works very well. Takes about two minutes to produce heat on startup. Needs a 12 volt DC (20 Amp) power supply (not provided). Needs to be raised above floor level to allow exhaust to route out from under the heater. Remote control and display work fine. Hot air pipe is very short. The supplied user manual is pretty crappy. Look on you tube for more info. Suggest you buy some exhaust sealant for exhaust joints.

works very well. fairly quiet. pump not noisy at all. economical to. going to star using red diesel. easy to use. easy to set up . what`s not to like. i would deffintely recommend one. i use it in my camper van and its very good. possibly a bit to big for the van but hey ho.

Bought this for my shed/workshop. Works great but needed the extra add on of ducting to reach down to the floor, so now i have two ducts blowing across the floor and one on my bench that can be adjusted. gives out plenty of heat and after a few mins of running need to be turned down to lowest setting of 1. Plenty of videos available to watch of fitting and usage. Cheaper to run than gas or electric heaters at this time.

We are very pleased with the 5KW Vevor diesel heater. My wife wanted some heating in her craft shed and the prospect of running a fan heater at length didn���t appeal to my electric bill! The heater was delivered after 2 days (as opposed to the 7 days advertised). The supplied instructions are not very clear or easy to follow, but there are plenty of YouTube videos to guide installation. The fixing kit included all the bits needed for a installing in a van (the normal application) but for the shed we wanted to mount the heater on its side (see photos). This is fine as long as the glow plug (and wiring outlet) are on the top of the unit. A separate 12V / 15A /180W power supply (available from various suppliers on Amazon) was used to power the unit. In order to strengthen the shed wall and protect the wood from heat of the exhaust pipe an extra metal plate was added to the outside wall as well as the supplied plate on the inside. The fuel tank is mounted outside, round the rear of the shed.On the negative side I have to say the unit is quite noisy both inside the shed and outside. The fuel pump clicks continuously and the burner fan sounds a bit like a jet engine. On start up there is a bit if a diesel lorry smell although this seems to clear once the unit is hot. Following suggestions that strawberry scented 2 stroke oil in the fuel helps with the smell, I added some to the diesel (2%) but it���s too early to tell how well it works. I am also somewhat sceptical that the unit is producing 5KW of heat, but it was able to warm the shed to 20 C even when it was sub zero outside so I it meets our needs. The unit came with a remote control (though it wasn���t supposed to) which means it can be turned on from the house. The challenge was finding instructions that applied to the version of the controller that was supplied.Overall it has been exactly what we hoped for, although time will be needed to confirm reliability.

Mine worked well for the first couple of times, then stopped with a fault code showing! I contacted the seller and the were very quick to respond and sent me a brand new unit free of charge :-)

To be honest I never read the reviews before buying. It was only after the order had been placed that I saw some folk were not happy so this made me very nervous. The parcel arrived 4 days early which was great. Unpacked added fuel and wired it up to a 12v30a power supply and it worked perfectly. The video instructions on how to use the controller provided in the question section were simple and clear so thanks to the person who posted that! Would highly recommend this unit.

Remote dos not work
