    Got a MotorHome? Want a Compressor Fridge?

    Stop mucking about Dave, just buy one. We did, never regretted it; pulled the old one out, put the new one in, connected up two wires, all sorted.

    'Chinese' Diesel Heater

    Downpipe arrived today, quite happy with the workmanship, had to warm the end up so it would fit over the end of the silencer. Had to reheat it as I didn't have the bracket in the right place, warmed it up, one or two taps with a hammer, now it's just ready for fitting. Still not got the...

    'Chinese' Diesel Heater

    To give you some idea of how thin the exhaust is on a Chinese diesel heater, have a look at the three pictures below: Start. As you can see a gas lighter for lighting a stove. Warmed up quite quickly. Didn't take long. I certainly wouldn't be happy using one of these as an exhaust pipe...

    Yes I do. I wouldn't think it would need that much heat to make a pipe that thin glow red.

    'Chinese' Diesel Heater

    Found this photograph today, just shows how important it is to isolate the exhaust from anything that is combustible. I have always felt that the one you get with the heater was far too thin, I opted for an aftermarket flexible pipe that was thicker. After seeing this I am glad I did.

    Chinese diesel air & water heater test / review

    We have gone for a gas wall heater for the hot water and shower and the Chinese diesel heater for the van heating. Having said that, in the summer we are both happy to use solar shower bags and sit them on the roof and put the pipe through the vent; we find, on a hot summer's day, they work just...

    chinese diesel heater afterburner

    We were thinking on the same lines. If we were going out on a cold frosty morning, and it does get cold up here in Fife, what could be better than jumping into a van where the windows have been defrosted and nice and warm inside: far better than sitting in your coat and gloves driving 'til the...
