What is a fuel heater?
Fuel-Sipping Efficiency
This heater draws a minimal amount of fuel (gas or diesel) directly from your van’s tank—less than half a gallon for an entire cold night.
Powerful Warm Air Circulation
Equipped with a fan system, it distributes warm air evenly throughout your van, ensuring consistent comfort.
Safe and Warm
Fumes are safely exhausted outside the van, so you can rest easy knowing your space is warm and secure.
Highly Effective
Designed to perform even in sub-freezing temperatures, it keeps you toasty no matter how cold it gets.
We offer 2 options - each in gas or diesel, depending on your needs:
- 7,000 BTU/hr Unit: Compact and efficient, perfect for most conditions
- 12,000 BTU/hr Unit: Higher output model, suitable for the harshest, extreme conditions and highest altitudes
