![]() It looks like this kit is no longer available. ![]() I decided to go with a 2kw kit from Aliexpress based from a link from this YouTube video. I decided to go with a 2kw Diesel Heater since my minivan interior space is very small and felt a 5kw heater would be far more than neededĪfter watching some video’s and doing some initial research I found out that a true 2kw heating unit measures 28cm x 11cm x 11cm. The major down side to this propane heater is it puts out too much heat even on low and I need to constantly be turning it on and off to keep the small space in my minivan van from getting either too hot or too chilly. Sometimes I would connect it directly to my 1 gallon refillable propane bottle, fuel filter, and 4’ adapter hose and this was far more cost effective than the green 1lb bottles. I would use the 1lb green propane bottles just because they are more convenient but they certainly are not cheap.

When I decided to do vanlife through the winter this year I realized that I would need a more sustainable heat source than my propane heater. Don’t make the mistakes I did! I have experience and confidence cutting holes into my minivan and making significant modifications but this project kicked my ass!! ![]() It took me 2 Chinese Diesel Heater kits and 2 install attempts to get a working heater.
