This VEVOR heater is a diesel air heater rated at 8 KW on 12V. Operating consumption is 3 A, fuel consumption runs from 0.16 to 0.62 L/h, and the tank holds 10 L. It compensates for altitude automatically, and it can be controlled by LCD, remote control or Bluetooth app. Overheating protection acts at 270 °C.
Our take
A 3 A operating draw at 12V keeps the electrical load small, and the 0.16 to 0.62 L/h fuel burn against the 10 L tank gives you the numbers to work out your own running time between fills.
From our buying guide
Webasto warns that improper installation or repair can cause a fire or a deadly carbon monoxide leak. Its marine manuals put the heater and its exhaust outside the accommodation, and duct only the warm air into the cabin.
Check before you buy:
- The maker publishes a marine installation manual, since some manuals give only road-vehicle positions.
- You can get it fitted properly, since Webasto says installers need to have completed its training.
- You'll have a carbon monoxide alarm inside the boat, which the Coast Guard advises installing.
