Has anyone got a D1LC Eberspacher heater?

Are they any good?

Do they use alot of diesel?

Are they noisy?

I am getting one very cheap but after looking on youtube they sound loud

When i get it i think i will test it first before i put it in.Its going into my pennine aztec f/c,I have got a gas heater but i am worryed incase my daughter goes near it.

The diesel one will be great if everything goes to plan.I was going to fit the main unit in the kitchen cupboard, now it depends on the sound might have to make a box and mount it under the trailer

We have one in our camper, very effective but the noise outside is very loud initially (someone likened it to a jet engine warming up - that sort of noise but not as loud as a jet engine obviously!). After about 5 or 10 minutes it's much quieter though.

I wouldn't have thought you'd run it continuously all night, so long as you have decent bedding you shouldn't really need it, but as stated you do need to be aware that the fan uses electric so an EHU / decent leisure battery would also be necessary.

I will be running for about 30mins every night and maybe in the morning for about 15mins this will be over a weekend,I always travel to different classic car shows so it is always weekends.

the only other thing i use from the battery is to start the gas fridge and interior light

Thankyou everyone for the posts,I am hoping to go back to work soon,When i get it i will try it before i fit

I use my campervan as my daily driver. When it's very cold I sneak out in the morning 10 minutes before I'm due to leave and set the heater running, it's lovely and cosy by the time I leave!

I could even set it to come on at the same time every morning if only I could remember how....

i wish i could do that to my car,I goto work with heating on full blast by the time i get to work i don't want to get out of the car lol

I am still not at work on the sick had a op

Where i work we deal with insurance companys where motors have been in a crash,The heater is in a van i just hope its still there when i go back i have taken half of it out

Got the instructions out last night and set the heater to come on at 8.00, when we left at 8.15 it was lovely and toasty, even though it was -2.5 outside!

Hope you make a quick recovery, would any of your colleagues be able to salvage it for you if you give them a ring?

i will just wait until i goto work,If i phone they will say its gone and the boss will get it he has got a vw lt4 van busy converted.

the heater i am getting is on a  transit and it is well hid

thankyou for the idea tho
