Product Overview
Cold cab mornings, a damp boat cabin, or an RV that needs heat without idling the main engine are the usual reasons for adding a diesel parking heater. It burns a small metered fuel supply and sends heated air into the occupied space while combustion air and exhaust stay outside.
This 8kW kit uses a 12V electrical supply and LCD control. Safe installation matters more than raw heat output: the exhaust, intake, fuel line, pump angle, wiring, and hot-air ducting must be routed correctly. It is a universal system, so fabrication and application-specific hardware may be required.
Key Features & Performance
- 8kW-rated diesel-fired air heater
- LCD thermostat controller for temperature and operating settings
- 12V electrical configuration for compatible mobile systems
- Separate combustion circuit helps keep exhaust outside the heated space
- Suitable for custom cab, trailer, RV, and boat heating layouts
Common Uses
- Preheating a work-truck cab before a winter shift
- Adding dry cabin heat to an RV or enclosed trailer
- Heating a compatible boat cabin with properly routed marine exhaust

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the exhaust terminate inside a trailer or boat? A: No. Combustion exhaust must be safely routed outdoors.
Q: Will this bolt into every truck? A: No. This is a universal kit and normally requires application-specific mounting and routing.
Q: Why does a diesel heater smoke or fail to ignite? A: Low voltage, air in the fuel line, poor pump angle, restricted intake or exhaust, and incorrect setup are common causes.
Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is a new aftermarket product. Brand names and part numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
