My generator, a leading caravan equipment’s supplier, shares the reviews of caravan experts on diesel heaters and gas heaters used in the caravan.
It’s cold outside, but that doesn’t mean people should store their caravan until warmer weather. Get a caravan heater and travel in winter without any problems. At the time of buying a caravan heater, an important decision you should make is whether to buy a diesel or gas heater. As per the caravan expert’s reviews, there is no right or wrong answer when choosing between gas or diesel heaters. Just like all other caravan appliances, it depends on some factors.
Expert’s opinion on using caravan diesel and gas heaters while taking their merits and demerits into consideration:
• Fuel source. According to caravan experts, there is diesel available at every service station. Whereas in gas, the high usage of gas supply could become an issue. As there are limited options for refilling gas outside the city.

• Efficiency. Consumption rate is low for diesel compared to gas, because of which diesel is consumed less according to the caravan expert’s opinion.

• Heating quality. Experts say caravan diesel heaters produce a clean dry heat, which means there is no humidity and condensation. Whereas in gas heaters there is humidity and condensation problems.

• Flexible installation. Unlike gas heaters, diesel units do not have a flue that goes through the wall. They have an exhaust that goes through the floor of the vehicle. According to caravan experts, diesel heaters gives greater flexibility for installation, it can be installed by the buyer itself. Whereas in gas installation, installation needs to be done by a professional due to several regulations.

• Fuel tank. According to caravan experts, the fuel tank is already installed in diesel caravans. But if it is a petrol caravan, then a diesel fuel tank needs to be installed, which is an additional cost.

• Budget. Gas heaters are cheaper upfront compared to diesel heaters. But according to experts, diesel heaters can be a more economical option for larger vans in the long term.

• Noise. In gas heaters, only the fan creates some noise. Whereas in diesel heaters there is a lot of noise. In the expert’s opinion, this noise in diesel heaters can be minimised by choosing a quality unit.

According to My Generator’s caravan expert’s advice, while paying attention to the above merits and demerits, there are a few more things to consider when choosing between a diesel and a gas caravan heater. Some important points like, the temperature outside at which travelling will be done, the size of the vehicle and available space in the vehicle for installation is also important. If there is a pre-installed diesel fuel tank in the vehicle, then the tank should be enough to run the heater. The most important factor is the budget, including installation.
