Diesel Heaters

Diesel heaters are used to warm enclosed spaces - caravans, camper trailers, canvas tents, ute canopies, and garages - without needing mains power or LPG. They run off your existing diesel fuel supply, making them ideal for remote camping, worksites, and overland travel where you don't have access to shore power.

They're one of the best heating options for caravans and camping setups. A diesel heater runs efficiently on a small amount of fuel, produces dry heat (unlike gas which adds moisture), and most units can run overnight without draining your batteries significantly. They're popular with grey nomads and 4WD tourers doing extended trips in cold regions like the Snowy Mountains, Tasmania, or the Victorian High Country.

For most caravans and camper trailers, a 2kW to 5kW unit does the job. A 2kW heater suits smaller vans and swag setups; a 5kW unit is better for larger caravans or canvas tents where you need to heat a bigger space quickly. If you're heating a garage or workshop, you'd typically want 5kW or more.

Entry-level diesel heaters start around $200-$400 for basic units. Mid-range models with better controls and quieter operation typically sit in the $400-$800 range. Premium or name-brand units can go higher. True Gear stocks options across the range so you can match the heater to your budget and how often you'll use it.
