Does anyone use diesel heaters in their portables?

Yeah not in my portable. I would for sure have something break or leaking in no time.

So which one to buy for a hub that I can leave heater outside and downwind and vent hot air into the hub. I do not mind lugging deep cycle batteries out there in my truck.

I’ve heard some heaters can be shady that you buy online. A guy bought one for an excavator and the remote and motherboard was all jacked up. Like buying a tv and the remote had no volume control.

I felt over my head and quit looking at them.

Webasto diesel heaters are the ones I’ve had for four winters. You tube has some comparison videos with Chinese knock offs. But a huge price difference.

I have a thermostat that hooks up to mine in the box. Not sure how you regulate in a portable

Would they heat a large hub overnight? How much run time on a deep cycle battery?

The Chinese knock offs is where I feel over my head. And they are @150ish.

The one you have is a great heater but I don’t know if I would use it enough for the price
