OBAKL Diesel Heater 5KW parking heater for RVs 🚐
Description:
This 5KW diesel air heater delivers rapid, controllable warmth for trucks, campers, boats and workshops, using a compact aluminium housing that resists corrosion and wear. With easy voice prompts and an LCD controller, the unit simplifies pre-heating and temperature management for long trips or cold starts. 🔧
Key Points
The unit produces up to 5KW of heat and runs from a 12V supply, making it suitable for vehicle electrical systems and many leisure applications. The aluminium shell is described by the manufacturer as corrosion resistant and finished in red to help the heater blend into vehicle interiors. Voice guidance in English and German helps with setup and daily control, and the LCD remote reaches up to about 160 ft for convenient operation while inside a motorhome or cabin. 🚐
Technical Specifications
- Name: OBAKL Diesel Heater 5KW
- Power: 5KW
- Voltage: DC 12V
- Fuel tank capacity: 15L
- Operating temperature range: -40°F to 122°F
Benefits
The design aims to offer steady, gentle airflow rather than hot blasts, which can be more comfortable for enclosed spaces and reduces the sensation of dry air. The selectable timer and precise temperature control on the LCD switch allow scheduled heating and finer adjustments during overnight use. The option to use the included 15L tank for standalone refuelling or to connect the heater to the vehicle’s main fuel tank gives flexibility for different installation choices. ⚙️
Usage Recommendations
For installation in vehicles, allow a qualified fitter to secure the unit and connect the fuel line or main tank feed, especially if you intend to use the direct fuel connection rather than the onboard tank. Plan fuel usage according to the quoted consumption range of 0.04–0.16 gallons per hour, which the manufacturer uses to estimate runtime; this means you may expect many hours of operation from a full 15L tank depending on settings and ambient temperature. Consider that performance at extreme altitudes relies on the Plateau Mode, which the manufacturer specifies for use up to about 16,400 feet, and that very high elevations may still affect combustion efficiency.
