Diesel Heater Intro.....AuFocus 5Kw Diesel Heater

[@eds4wdcamping]

Hi Phil, it's exactly the same type of heater I've got in my Sheoak camper. You'll love it when it gets cold.

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

I can’t wait to try mine

[@jackturtle131]

Keen to see the installation clip Phil.

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

Ran into a bit of an hurdle yesterday afternoon. After I removed the safe. I found that water got into the ply floor and caused some damage. I’m repairing it now. Putting in a new piece of ply. Than I will be back to the installation

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

You are very welcome

[@RoscoAdams-xt5lp]

👌🏻 Phil thanks for the diesel heater review i am going to get one for my house 👍🏻👍🏻 🍻

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

Cool 👍

[@Bandits_68]

Hi Phil, I bought the same diesel heater. You made a great choice. I just wanted to bring something to your attention regarding the muffler pipe. I noticed the pipe you received didn't have muffler bandage on it. The muffler I received had muffler bandage fitted. I also ordered an additional length of pipe from AU FOCUS website and that also come with bandage fitted to the pipe. That muffler pipe gets extremely hot. I don't know if you want to contact AU FOCUS and ask why you never received the bandage or just go and buy the bandage and apply it yourself. I strongly recommend having muffler bandage fitted for safety reasons. Cheers buddy 👍

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

I was curious about that. As in the add at time of purchase it did say muffler wrap included. I had to change the location of the muffler two days ago. It melted my water pipe. Although it was the pipe to the rear which I don’t use. I ordered an extension, hopefully the wrap will be included this time.

AU Focus are great had mine for a year and its been good in my Cub camper and its very quiet its the 2kw Only thing I changed was the floor mount and went stainless steel

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

Going stainless steel is a great idea for the floor plate. Great to hear your happy with the AuFocus

[@moonsbits]

Looking forward to the install. I am in the market for one for our camper. Also how's the video on the dash cam quality ?

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

Dash cam quality is awesome. I will film the video after the diesel heater install is completed.

[@michaelavdalis4382]

I've got one I love mine

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

Do you have the 2kw or the 5kw?

[@Joshhatch83]

Good review Phil, I agree the Chinese eBay heaters instructions are useless

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

Yes they certainly are

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

Hi. Sorry to read your situation. Good luck for the future. You will need to be very careful of carbon monoxide. I think in your case, I would at the all in one diesel heaters. Vevor would be a good budget brand, no more than 2kw. You will need to have the diesel heater outside your vehicle and run the hot air outlet tube from the heater outside your vehicle into your car. I suggest through your window. You will have to find someway to seal the rest of the window. Also you will have to keep the diesel heater out of the rain. A tarp of the side of your vehicle would be ideal. And I recommend to invest in a carbon monoxide detector for inside your vehicle.

[@aussiecue]

If installed correct, These are safe to be inside a vehicle. Thats what they were first designed for. The kit that Phil has is the right kit for fitting inside a car. Don't get the all in one, That is where you can run into Carbon monoxide problems as it has to sit outside and duct hot air back in somehow.

[@man.i.literally.failed6772]

I won't buy another Chinese heater ever again, after 80 hours of use it cokes up and blows white smoke, I don't believe anyone who says they had success with Chinese heaters, this unit your showing does look way better in quality, but when I get my new Crusader caravan, I'll be buying the best. Don't wanna be replacing the thing 3 times a year

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

No issues with mine. There is a new one that's off high quality just released in Australia, check out my latest videos

[@man.i.literally.failed6772]

[@032254855]

[@PhilsCampingReviews]

Yes. A mate of mine purchased the portable one and is setting it up tomorrow.
