I have just completed the installation of this unit. It came will all the parts and fittings, although I had to make some custom brackets for exhaust and air intake due to my particular installation. I have run it twice and it does all the things that it should. The true test will be how it stacks up over its lifetime against other more ( much) expensive brands but at that price I can afford to buy many more ( if they fail) before I am on par with flagship units from competitors. The instructions were comprehensive but with many mismatches due to translations and makes for an interesting read and sometimes humorous one. You can easily work it out though. All in all I am very satisfied with the unit.

Almost no instructions for installation. Mounting plate gets very hot. Exhaust pipe needs slots cut to clamp onto unit properly. Control unit cable had to b extended, far to short. Outlet vent gets very hot & is flimsy. Uses 12A on start up & cool down, very sensitive to minimal voltage drop & shuts down, it almost needs own battery to counter normal van pwr use. Works a treat wih wireless remote & pumps out the heat, quiet on low heat settings. Clear fitting instructions cant b that hard to put together. Happily pay another $200 for insulated exhaust system & instructions.

Fast postage received well packaged. Fairly simple to install with use of YouTube videos. Instructions that come with it aren’t the best. Ran it overnight with pretty good diesel consumption. Is quite noisy upon start up but once it’s warmed up and running smoothly it quietens down a lot. Fuel pump ticking sound is noticeable again on start up but becomes less noticeable after a short while. Free camping would be fine but if used in a caravan park close to other people you may be at risk of annoying others. Overall I still rate this product highly and have no regrets purchasing. Can not wait post COVID to get out camping and staying warm.

I found it was easy to fit and all parts were there. The only thing that would make using this unit easier would be to have the start up procedures explained in a language that could be understood. I am using trial and error to turn on the heater. A longer exhaust tube may be an advantage

The top rated critical review is wrong on many levels. Using the correct gauge wire to power it and a quality battery in good order the current draw is only 8.5 amps. The fasteners and fittings are all of suitable quality. The cables are plenty long enough. Do NOT cut slits in the exhaust pipe!!! (As mentioned in that review). Doing that will cause exhaust leaks. The pipe is maliable enough to conform to the manifold using the supplied wire type clamp. Mounted correctly the tick of the fuel pump is un-noticeable. Providing you have proper electrical understanding, you plan the installation thoroughly and have the manual dexterity to undertake such mechanical tasks you will, like me be very happy this heater. Also the instructions are detailed and easy to understand

This heater is a really good product exactly as advertised and there are a lot of videos on youtube to help with install. There is an Australian guy who reveiws these heaters and shows exactly how to install (his youtube name is John McK 47) I would recommned you watch all of his videos on the hearters before you install because then it becomes a very simple job. There is only one small thing you could improve and that is to supply a filter for the air intake pipe as its recommended that you install it with one because bugs go up this pipe and clog up the very small filter inside the motor next to the plug, which eventually will clog it up and stop it from working. However these can be cleaned and there are also vidoes that show how it can be done. I used some old fly screen to make my own. Otherwise, it is a truly excellent offer, and the hearter works so well that you only need to trun it on for a little while to heat our small caravan, my wife loves it!Read full review

I have researched many heaters and decided on this one because of the good reviews. Completed my installation today and I must say...it works a treat. The manual instructions are not good enough for a safety related product and is the weakest link. However some excellent YouTube instructions make this an achievable project for a DYI person. Do it slowly and with attention to detail and this heater will satisfy. Off tomorrow to test it out in wild Tasmania.

Product was easy to install. It needed some specialist tools but not a real issue. The only issue was in fitting the two mufflers and the exaust system. The stainless tube was difficult to fit

Our heater arrived within a couple of days, was self explanatory to install. It comes with everything needed for installation with exception of a few screws for mounting. Works brilliantly, will maintain temperature on low using very little power or fuel. Quiet operation inside, a little noisy outside, but no worse than any other brand. These are exact copies of the expensive units available.

I purchased one of these for my new off road 20ft caravan. Installation was very easy. The heater worked perfectly. I extended the control cable so as to place in a good position. I also used some additional ducting to place the vents exactly where I wanted them. As another review stated, it’s very quiet to run and sure beats the reverse aircon. I liked it so much I just purchased another and stored it for future use. I can certainly recommended this product. Also the supply was very prompt.
