Hello,

it seems there is an option for a rear heater for GU / Y61 - but only for those manufactured for the colder areas of northern Europe.
This is what I have found:

and
https://partsouq.com/en/catalog/nissan/part/GL/Y61/270
There are even some part numbers there, so maybe you will be able to source them.

I will try this modification also, but I have sourced a rear heater unit from a GQ / Y60 and will try to chop the center console and fit this in

Thanks, Alex. The prices on those rear heaters are astronomical. I doubt I could find one from a wrecker over here. I'll probably wind up going with a 2kBt Webasto air heater installed in the cabin. Very efficient and easy to use.

I have heated seats in the from,from ebay work very well imo.
You would need them on a timer or similar as they might flatten your battery if left on

Thanks, 3D. I have a mob over here who could actually install the heater elements into the seats so that I don't have to worry about the heated covers. I already have heated front seats from the factory. Just trying to figure out options for the rear seats as it a noticeable difference in temperature between the front and back seats.

As on another thread ,,,run an inverter and use an electric blanket
not sure on your power source there though.

@AB mate found an old thread here with diesel heater links and advice above.
Finally trialled folks a single bed 240v(60w) electric blanket running through my utes 1000w inverter last weekend in around say -2/4 mountain top overnight camping.
First and second night kept it on 'Low' and after 6 hours snoring chewed through about 0.9/1 volt off the 60amp Optima auxiliary battery. Third night got gready and set it on 'Medium' which sucked the battery down by over twice before to a damaging 10.5 volts. I'd say a minimum 120amp auxiliary system would be needed folks and or diesel air heater I will now investigate further. Portable would be awesome to move between camper, tent, ute pod differing trips etc....
