After working all through the freezing Winter we're finally getting round to installing our diesel heater into our van! 🔥 (Now that it's warm outside!) We went for the Lavaner Pro diesel heater and have replaced the controller with the Afterburner from Ray Jones.

We have tapped the fuel line for the heater into the actual diesel tank under the van (it was interesting dropping a tank for the first time!).

As Chinese diesel heaters go, the Lavaner Pro feels like a quality piece of kit and we're really happy with it, for a fraction of the cost of a Webasto or Eberspacher.

Having had the heater in and made use of it on many nights now, we can safely say that it's a real game changer in terms of comfort and cosiness in the van. 🙂

If you want to learn more in depth on the inner workings of these diesel heaters, we highly recommend the playlist by John Mck here on YT. A huge amount of detail on every aspect of the install, and well worth a watch if there's any part you're not sure about (or just curious, it's all interesting!):    • Chinese Diesel Air Heaters - Part 1 -...
