TB10PRO 8kW Portable Diesel Heater for Campervan 🚐
Description:
This compact diesel air heater brings mobile warmth to campervans, RVs and tents with programmable controls and a safety-focused design. It offers up to 8 kW of heat output and can run from 12 V or 24 V vehicle systems or from a 110–240 V mains supply, making it flexible for on-road and stationary use. The unit aims to keep small living spaces comfortable while consuming relatively little fuel, according to the manufacturer.
Key Points
The heater supports automatic start and stop and has an app for remote control, allowing users to set temperature, timers and power levels from a phone. A wireless temperature sensing switch is included to monitor indoor temperature and relay status to the main unit. The kit contains a 4 metre extension cable so the control panel can be mounted inside the vehicle for easier access. 🔥
Safety features include a carbon monoxide alarm built into the wireless switch that triggers an alarm and shuts the system down if unsafe CO levels are detected. Overheat protection is present with a threshold around 270°C, and the unit includes a quieter fuel pump to reduce noise to around 35 dB during operation. ⚠️
The heater also offers an adaptive plateau mode that automatically adjusts fuel output and displays altitude for use up to about 4,500 metres above sea level. For faster warm-up there is a Turbo Heat mode and a Ventilation Mode for air circulation.

Usage Recommendations
Place the heater where exhaust and air intake paths can be safely routed outside the living area and ensure adequate ventilation when running for extended periods. Use the wireless temperature sensor indoors to let the system cycle intelligently and reduce unnecessary fuel use, particularly overnight. The app control is useful for pre-heating before entering the vehicle and for adjusting settings without accessing the heater directly. 📱
Consider that diesel heaters require proper exhaust installation and occasional maintenance of the fuel system and burner. The CO alarm adds an important layer of safety, however it does not replace the need for regular checks and correct installation by a qualified installer.
