- With a cold camping trip down South planned soon, I took the plunge and bought a cheap diesel heater to test it out. Pretty impressed so far but need to find a fix for the loud clicking diesel pump.

For $170 longevity if it lasts a couple seasons even way better than your expensive install they quoted you for. Good purchase in my opinion.
You can buy a fuel pump that runs a lot quieter and you can also wrap the fuel pump with some form of insulation to help quieter the pump down.
Really enjoy your videos been getting into camping more and your videos all have very good information. Thanks Buck!
Thanks mate
Just bought it and have been testing it out heating the house it bloody heats up fast👍i can not wait too use it in my RV/5 tent. By the way, they must have insulated my fuel pump because not loud at all or they have repositioned it, got my vevor in july 2024 , live down in melb, works awesome in our winter👍
@@rayf7071 Good stuff mate
I love the big poster of Rafa on the same wall with Ali, both absolute legends of their time.
Just fitted one to our van , $160 bucks delivered, unbelievable 👍
Great value! not into cold weather camping so much but it's sounding more reasonable with stuff like this!! Cheers
Hi Buck, another great clip. I’m glad you worked out the blue tooth part of it. I’ve got the upright one. It’s a beauty. after doing research online I realise you can buy aftermarket fuel pumps that don’t click as much and it will solve the issue with the clicking for you. Have a great day thanks again, Dave.
Thanks Buck 👍👍we have had 4 different caravans and all of them have been an esky when it’s cold and an oven when it’s hot so it’s not just Chinese ones. As for the noise just remember that it’s no louder than any roof mounted aircon fitted to vans. My mate in Chiltern runs one on his van and absolutely loves it and my son has one for his camper trailer,he was camping in Orange over winter doing building projects for months at a time and reckons that it’s a life saver . Old army story if you’re up for it, the bride goes down to Albury from Darwin in the middle of winter for a course and the SFB running it refused to let them wear jumpers unless everyone wore them. All good for those used to it but the people from Darwin,Townsville and even Brisbane were doing it real hard. She ended up going over to the RAP to get a chit to wear jumpers, the doctor got wind of it and then the commandant got involved 😂😂end of problem. Save travels and we,ll catch up shortly 👁️👁️😎😇🐕🦺❤️🙏
Ah the old one in all in Army stuff. Love it!!! lol
Don't run your exhaust under your trailer for 2 reasons. One the exaust gets hot and can melt your plastic water tanks. The other is the fumes have nowhere to go but up. Which is where you sleep.
Pull it out a little from the trailer. Maybe 2ft. Turn it 90 degrees so the exaust pipe is pointing towards the back of the trailer and the 3 metre heat pipe is facing the trailer. The heating pipe is flexible so it should be easy to twist it towards Ros's OzTent. You may have to move the heater a little closer to the tent as you shorten how far the heating pipe will reach by turning it. Maybe get a second 3 metre pipe and fit the two together if reach is a real issue. The exaust will have way more space to exaust under the awning then under the trailer. Run the power cord towards Ros's tent then under the table between the crossed table legs closet to the trailer. Then toward the power socket where you are plugging it in at the back of the trailer. To keep it away from the exhaust.
Once it gets going, it doesn't put out tons of fumes on low so should not cause issues under the awning. I agree with you, it should do all you want on low.
The metal table you're placing the heater on may be amplifying the ticking. I don't know how to safely fix that. Placing the heater directly on the ground might make a big difference but I can't recommend it. As I don't know if you should be placing it directly on the ground in the first place.
Be careful about what changes you make to the heater to deal with the ticking. Lots of adhoc solutions look good but are not safe. Getting a professional to switch the pump to a quite or at least quieter pump may be the best solution but not worth the cost. In the end the ticking is something you may have to get used to.
I agree with you about how much power it draws. Plus you've got a really good power system on that trailer.
Getting the dampness out of a tent and warming it up inside makes such a difference. Have you thought about buying the carpet tent liner OzTent make for their tents? They help by reducing the amount of ground cold that can get into the tent from underneath and with the dampness inside.
I think you've made a fantastic choice and I absolutely love the colour!!!❤
Fantastic thank for sharing this with us Buck. Stephen and Annie love there’s too . 👍🇦🇺🐶🐾
Is does have bluetooth folks and it works very well.
Hey mate bought that exact same heater about a month ago and used it out camping in Central Coast NSW freezing night - works so good into the eagle outback mate just didn’t put enough fuel in (only about a litre) and it ran out about 230am so had to get up and put more in. Still haven’t worked out how to use the Bluetooth but the remote works great
There are loads of guides to making the pump quiet for minimal expenditure. Nothing annoys me more than a repetitive noise like that. There seems to be a “quiet pump” but it’s still making noise just less. Then heaps of “put it in a box with sound deadening” to make it quiet options which do actually work.
“Diesel heat “ look them up have a pump holder that drop the noise by 80 % . Remember to run the heater full bore for 15 min occasionally otherwise they will carbon up .
Another way of warming up is ! Get out of the roof top tent, go down into the Oz tent & get active. But Raffaronie will be discussed with you 😊
We have one of those for the shed. Does a good job, but need a longer hose to route the warm air to the work bench area. As for the way it "clicks", it's a characteristic of its fuel pump, I believe.
Can you please post a link to where you got the 3m hose from? Thanks.
They are great little heaters I have had both a portable one for a camper trailer and now a installed one in my caravan ( install myself).
Just a few little mods you should do to them.
If they have the soft green fuel line replace it with 4mm fuel line from Supercheap.
Add a inline fuel filter
And then orientate fule pump on a 15-35 degree angle or it will not lubricant properly.
The diesel heater makes less noise than our air con in our camper van I am impressed with the unit
Wrap the fuel pump and filter with an old rag. It stops the diesel soaping. Double suspend your fuel pump. You can buy a quiet pump, but i never tried. Next i just use the remote control. I have it mounted on a board with two support bars, fastened in place. I have it outside, but you need a cover to stop rain from coming in the inlet air. Look up John Mck47
l modified my diesel heaters,got one in the van and in my garage. l did put wire fly screen on the intake to stop Queenslanders camping inside and stopping the unit from running, The unit on the van l installed on the draw bar with rubber supporting the pump to stop noise, bought longer ducts to go under van and into the van. Used a 20lt jerry can for the diesel which draws from the top with quick release fittngs. Can hardly hear the units pump once the thermostat cuts in,no problem with your a light sleeper. l've been wanting to get one of those Vevor,where abouts do you store it.
Mate that tick noise is driving me crazy even on the video 😂😂😂 I couldn’t sleep
Yes the life of this heater might be short lived. lol
Good clip mate, pretty good value for the money. Cheers mate.
Yeah mate $170 AUD. Cheap as chips. Just goes to show how much profit Aussie companies are throwing on.
Thanks Buck , great price for a tent heater .👍👍🍻🍻
Nice video Buck, is that the 8 Kw model?
Looks good Buck. Let us know if you solve the pump's clicking noise. That would drive my wife crazy.
Watch out for condensation.. if you got it running into rooftop tent it will get allot of condensation if you don't have windows open for airflow out.. as its only canvas. Last year I was in killaney in july it dropped to -12 and I was super hot in my rooftop tent.. I had just 2 bamboo winter quilts with fleece covers, and 12v electric blanket.. It was -12 outside, -4 inside my rtt, 20c under my quilts.. Difference between my rooftop tent and the crazy dog canvas one even though mine was made by crazy dog canvas is the canvas I got custom made is the same auscam canvas the Australian defence force use which is 16oz.. the crazy dog canvas canvas is 10oz.. so Mines allot thicker.. when I had it at -12 I had my windows semi open to let any hot air out.. Though now I figured a way to get zero condensation which I have 20mm insulation foam with large holes in it, a anti condensation mat and drilled like 40 holes in bottom of rooftop tent to allow air to flow in and out under the mattress.
I won't be running the heater in the RTT. It will be in the Oztent and yep I will have a window open. Our van got bad condensation in the mornings as well. Had to wipe the ceiling with a chamois.
Buck l would prefer the heat exhaust outlet be well away from your 20l Diesel jerry, just for extra safety. Those exhaust outlets get bloody hot!
Hey buck from all the research I’ve done on RUclips the only things to change on the cheap diesel heaters are the ticking fuel pump and the fuel line, the guy I found showed the pump with green on the end is supposed to be the quiet one.
Nice small portable one Buck. I never seen this model. And it would cost way less to run than a LPG model Get in contact with The Maniac he has an quiet model pump
Think it’s pretty good buck 😄👍🏾
Great vid, keep 'em coming.
I have a RV5, 1 front door open, side windows open 3", heater on low, 2 degrees temp outside and heater on lowest setting. works a treat.
Looks a great heater Buck do you know at what distance the remote will still work from the heater unit if you have a 3m hose attached and will it turn on from in side a tent/ roof top tent.
No mate will test all that out on the camping trip.
G'day Buck. I'm going to be installing a diesel heater on our camper and torn between the cheapies or a German model. Like your quote the difference is thousands! That portable one you have, is it a 2kw or 5kw?
Great video Buck!!
Never use the cig plug. Always an anderson if it works loose all sorts of problems occur if power is suddenly disconnected. Use car body deadener sheet to wrap around the pump. Also some in the inside of the metal cover and fold some over the fuel intake line.
I don't have anderson plugs to plug into. The jackery does not have them and the camper only has cigarette plugs.
Bought one didn't work , replaced the fuel pump $50 , took it camping ran for 1 hr and stopped . Ran it at home 3 times only got 5min stopped again , it's now in the bin $300 badly spent . Rub 2 sticks together , old school
Ga, day Buck, I think the thermostat is in the front control panel you may have to put the front of the heater in the tent to regulate the temperature I may be wrong with your model? (AS YOU SAY DO NOT RUN EXHAUST INSIDE ) I have been running Chinese heaters for 12 years. 0
Also wrap that fuel pump in sound deadening foam from Clark rubber and u will be surprised how quiet it will me
A Y piece can be purchased to split the heat into 2 tent’s
Phil the maniac installed a great di6sel heater in his camper
Cool
Buck "Do Not" put the exhaust under your camper. You will be sucking in fumes from the heater. Buy an exhaust extention and put it well away from yourself and Ros. Dont want ant Form 4,s on you or Ros. A Tong brand generator box, second hand solves security and noise issues.
Mate we may not even use it but if I do, i will put it in the open at the back of the tent.
I have the LF BROS brand built really well much better machine than Vevor super quiet no fuel pump noise $325 delivered
G'day Buck don't want to put a damper on a great product m8 but I'd like a bit more of a extension on your intake get it right away from the exhaust you don't need that sucking in carbon dioxide on poor old Roz 😉.
Yeah point taken mate but that is how they come.
Hey buck run it on unsented kero mate they run better and last longer
i got $150 ebay one best thing i ever brought, has no clicking like that one.
Got a link to your model or just a brand name would help.
how soft have people become--- do you think the leyland brothers had these, the bush tucker man--- malcolm douglas???--- better off staying home old mate
Yes mate I agree with you in a way but we are from FNQ and heading into sub zero temperatures and we are not young people anymore. It is there just in case. In case you are not aware mate, I did 20 years in the Army so I know what roughing it is all about but I was a bit younger and tougher back then. 😜
I have the gasmate verson but mine didn't have the exhaust or air intake
