Here’s a pic with the cover off. All the same components as without a cabinet but just finished a little nicer. That’s all the fuel I’ve burned running it for 6 hrs wide open so maybe closer to 2 litres than just the 1 I said earlier.

Just curious if you compare these diesel heaters to the propane furnaces ike a Suburban, what kind of heat would they be putting out? I was looking at a 40k propane furnace setup.
Would these diesel heaters come in comparable heat output?
Have a 27' enclosed car hauler with 7 ' ceiling. Fully insulated floor,ceiling,walls.

The propane is nice. My father has one in his trailer. I wrench on it more tho. The diesel heater is nice cause it’s compact. Not a fan of how the CargoWest trailer is wired. The longest I’ve run one is 18 hrs straight on low. One battery. No charger. Pretty impressive. They sip the diesel. My boat heater came with a remote too. I’ve started it from 60’.

Thing is they work just as good or better then the name brands. My webasto never works properly.

One of the biggest problems with the diesel heater is we’re the fuel pick-up is installed.

Do these just exhaust out the wall?

Air intake and exhaust for the burner are outside.

Kerosene burns cleaner than diesel. It is pricier too.

This all depends on where you put your exhaust and fresh air. You also have to take into account your fuel tank. Most people do not use the supplied tank that comes with the system. Your stinger or fuel pick-up play a big part in your heater not locking out.
