Portable diesel heaters for rooftop tents, campers and vans
Diesel heaters are the most efficient way to get steady, dry heat away from mains power. They burn a small amount of diesel in a sealed chamber and heat the air through an exchanger: the combustion air and the air you breathe travel through separate circuits, and the exhaust gases leave through the exhaust pipe outdoors.
At Braguscamp we choose all-in-one carry-case models: tank, pump, electronics and display are built in, so nothing needs to be installed in your vehicle. Put the heater on the ground, connect the hot-air duct to the side port of your rooftop tent, camper or van, and within minutes the space is at the temperature you want.
They run on the vehicle's 12 V battery, a 230 V socket or a portable power station, and you control them from the display, the remote or your phone via Bluetooth, with thermostat and timer.
Why choose a diesel heater
01
8 kW of dry heat
Plenty of power for rooftop tents, campers and vans, with no humidity inside.

0.16 to 0.45 L/h of diesel: a full night on 1.3–3.6 L.
03
12 V, 230 V or power station
Vehicle battery, household socket or portable power station.
04
Portable, no installation
Carry-case format with 6 L tank: put it on the ground and you're done.

How to choose your diesel heater
Look at the power, how you will supply it and where you will use it. These are the keys:
✓ 8 kW easily heats a rooftop tent or a camper
✓ Built-in 6 L tank for several nights of autonomy
✓ 12 V and 230 V supply for use on the road and at campsites
✓ App, remote and display control, with thermostat
✓ Automatic altitude adjustment for the mountains
✓ Low noise for a peaceful sleep, under 35 dB
Using a diesel heater safely with your rooftop tent
- Always place the heater outside the tent, on the ground and on a firm surface.
- Only the hot-air duct enters the tent, through the side port.
- Point the exhaust outwards, away from the tent, windows and the air intake.
- Sleep with a carbon monoxide (CO) detector inside the tent.
- Use diesel only and refill the tank with the heater switched off and cold.
Frequently asked questions about diesel heaters
How much diesel does a diesel heater use per night?
It depends on the power level and the outside temperature. Between 0.16 and 0.45 L/h, which means 1.3 to 3.6 L over an 8-hour night. With the 6 L tank you get 13 to 37 hours of runtime.
Can I connect it to a power station?
Yes. Plug the included 230 V adapter into the station's AC output (at least 300 W). An 8-hour night uses about 300–370 Wh, so a station of around 1,000 Wh lasts 2–3 nights.
How does it connect to a rooftop tent?
The heater stays on the ground under the tent. The 76 mm hot-air duct goes up to the tent's side port and is secured by tightening the drawstring or Velcro. We include a manual in Spanish and English with the steps.
Will it drain my car battery?
While running it draws about 3 A (36 W), and about 13 A for a few minutes at start-up. A full night is about 24 Ah, so we recommend an auxiliary LiFePO4 battery or a power station if you sleep with the engine off.
Does it work at high altitude?
Yes. The heater automatically adjusts the air/diesel mixture up to 5,500 m and shows the altitude on the display.
