I'm guessing its just a heat exchanger/ intercooler style device with a small stove under it and a small computer fan attached ... Could make something I'm sure but it just depends on the price and if I can find something ready built.

Yeah thy are pretty exxy! But, my mate reckon it costs him next to nothing to run all night and if your using your camper allot then it would not take that much time to cost out against bottles.

Yea thats something ill have to weight up but I know you can also fit a 9kg bottle to it also making the gas lil cheaper but yea ive read the diesel units are very efficient aswell

Was going to suggest a partner, but I guess not if it’s for the kids. :)

TBH I don’t like the look of it. What happens if it gets knocked over? Would you let it run all night - if not who’s going to get up & go outside to switch it off? Gonna be expensive to run on those canisters.
If the kids wanna come into your bed when you’ve provided them with warm sleeping gear, it’s not because they’re cold!

Not suggesting it for a tent, but diesel heaters can be had for $700 these days.

Have you considered a Inverter and a electric blanket ?


Can even get 12v ones (don't know how good they work)

Cheapest portable diesel unit I've come across on the net is $1300 au.
And dearest $2500.
you can also get dual function,
air heater, hot water heater combo unit, again more $$.

new computer isn't letting me paste links sorry.
search portable diesel heater.
caravan repair retailers sell em.
but recon ya could build a box or frame easily and dyi.

Thats really cute, does it come with an attachment you can stem iron your dresses?

It can attach to a larger bottle also, is that 700$ second hand ?
