“With nearly eight years of full-time travel, I’ve had the opportunity of spending lots of cold nights in RV’s and vans. Frequently, this is in the mountains of Colorado, where a heater is critical to surviving the single-digit winter nights. I’ve used many popular heater types that run off propane and diesel. My current favorite is the Timberline heater by Elwell.
The easy accessibility of the diesel fuel, the same as my Sprinter van, makes it convenient always to have my heater ready to use. I no longer have to search for propane or fill extra tanks weekly. As long as my heater has fuel in the tank, I have heat at my fingertips. The Timberline heater is the best option for heating my van.”
