When it comes to choosing a heating system for your campervan, there are a few factors to consider. Here are some key differences between an LPG tank and heater and a diesel heater:
LPG Tank and Heater:
-
Fuel source: LPG stands for liquified petroleum gas, which is a form of propane. It is a clean-burning fuel that is widely available and relatively inexpensive.
-
Cost: While the initial cost of installing an LPG tank and heater can be high, the ongoing cost of fuel is relatively low.
-
Maintenance: LPG tanks and heaters require regular maintenance to ensure safe operation. This includes checking for leaks and keeping the tank and heater clean.
-
LPG can be used to run commonly used items within your Campervan build like Oven/Grill and Hob burner.
Diesel Heater:
-
Fuel source: Diesel heaters use diesel fuel, which is widely available and can be purchased at fuel stations.
-
Installation: Diesel heaters are easier to install than LPG tanks and heaters because the fuel supply comes from existing fuel tank.
-
Cost: While the initial cost of a diesel heater is lower than an LPG tank and heater, the ongoing cost of fuel can be higher.
-
Maintenance: Diesel heaters also require regular visual maintenance, including cleaning and checking for leaks.
Both our LPG and Diesel heaters have a digital thermostat controller and timer functions.
Overall, the choice between an LPG tank and heater and a diesel heater will depend on your individual needs and preferences.
