Diesel heaters
Stay warm wherever you travel
Keep your van cosy all year with a professionally installed diesel heater. At Vanlifer, we install and service 12 V diesel air heaters from trusted brands Autoterm (Planar NZ), Dieselheat Australia, and Truma NZ. Every system is fitted to meet New Zealand’s Green Warrant self-containment and safety standards.
Why choose a diesel heater?
Diesel heaters are the most efficient and reliable way to stay warm when freedom camping or travelling off-grid. They use very little fuel, produce dry heat, and run quietly without draining your batteries. A diesel heater turns your campervan into a true four-season home on wheels.
