Like the title says, has anyone got a cheap 12v diesel night heater with pump and all the bits for sale.

Cheers.

I was looking for one for ages when i have my camper van,

i found it cheaper to buy a 24v one and run a 24v power supply off my inverter.

bit arse about face but about £300 cheaper

Might have a re think on that one, I wanted something for about £50.

You will be very lucky to get even a knackered 24v with parts missing for that amount. I had a surplus 12v unit and was shocked at how much it made on eBay as the demand is so high so you should budget £250-300 for a working unit.
Also look for Propex heaters - they are a propane rather than diesel powered night heater and can be cheaper.

Calorfier is my purchase this week. Wired to a small convector rad and hot water cylinder. Runs off engine water heat and 12v and 240v

Give me hot water and hot rad.

I went to see one today and the rad stays warm for 3-4 hours off the engine heat from driving. Also on 12v tops up to last the night.

My plan is to have a rad with shut off valves to turn it on and off like a normal rad which won't effect the water heater part.

Costs £250 rather than lots mire for a new gas heater. Not keen on second hand gas items. Don't fancy death .....
