Heat

[SuperiorF]

Can you use diesel heater inside of van? Not sure how I can get extension cord out of the house without going thru a window and would be the same at the van. Any ideas?

I did for years. Still have it as my backup. When I had it in a cds I ran it off an inverter since the van was running anyway. An extension cord to the porch or in the front door is no big deal. Make sure it has a GFI though.

Hire someone to mount one of these depending on the size heater you want to use if you choose electric

I have run a Chinese diesel heater when needed. Make sure you get the kind you can exhaust outside. Mine is DC and runs off a battery. They work amazing. Not bad insurance to run windshield washer fluid through everything at night either. Cost you about $10. I would always work the cost of winterizing into my invoices by charging a few cents more per square ft. I always upfront with my customers about it and they always understood.

Are you asking about Heat for keeping your van warm during winter, or using a diesel heater to heat your solution line?

I never had to worry about winter.. I'd give up if I didn't have a heated garage.. Too much bs to winterize it..

They have 12 volt diesel heaters but I would recommend an additional 12 volt battery wired to charge off your van with a switch to recharge while driving.
