Does anyone have experience of these ? They don't seem very controllable , but very cheap at £200 +vat

Re: Chinese Diesel Heaters
Not seen those before, I've had a look around and can't find an opinion on the net anywhere for or against,
Re: Chinese Diesel Heaters
A bit hopeful of me , but I asked the seller if it is CE marked and got this reply.....
"Dear friend ,
Thank you for your message ,what is CE Certification ?could you tell us ? wait for your reply , thank you
Have anice day!
Sherry"
I think certain products may be stopped at customs if not marked ?

Re: Chinese Diesel Heaters
Another consideration: how much do you trust one of these - you are looking at something that burns diesel within your camper, possibly while you are sleeping. Can you trust a cheap Chinese copy of German heater? What if it leaked diesel, overheated, started a fire in your camper?
OK, I've used stuff like cheap Chinese solar controllers, and cheap Chinese digital thermometers, but generally only low voltage electrical stuff - i.e. stuff less likely to kill me if it is faulty. I did buy (and then return) a cheap Chinese generator, but I knew I would only be running that while supervised, not leaving it running overnight.
I.e. - I'll take a risk that something won't work and I've wasted my money, but I won't take a risk that my camper will burn down or I'll be killed by it.

My thoughts exactly. I'm so sceptical towards products like this.sabconsulting wrote:Another consideration: how much do you trust one of these - you are looking at something that burns diesel within your camper, possibly while you are sleeping.

Well at least people have used these and reported on them, I think I'd be more confident buying and using that product

Re: Chinese Diesel Heaters
Seems to be a mixed feeling on the facebook/Chinese diesel heater group. Some good, some bad, but still seems like a good buy to me.
I might try one,if I ever get anything to put it in

Re: Chinese Diesel Heaters
Can say that I've certainly had some less than good experiences with products from China, doc you know anyone yourself that has used one of these heaters?
