If you take the winter off from camping because it's too cold, then you definitely need one of these portable diesel heaters from Planar!
Unlike propane heaters, which will cause a build up of condensation, this Planar heater produces a dry heat. You'll be toasty warm and dry all night long.
Altitude Compensation
Unlike other heaters, these have an altitude-compensating feature built right into the unit that allows them to operate at higher altitudes. An on-board pressure sensor detects the current altitude and makes adjustments to the fuel pump in order to introduce the right amount of fuel for the conditions.
As a result, at altitudes above 6,500 ft sea level, performance will drop by roughly 5% every 1,640 ft.
For example, at 12,000 ft above sea level the heater output would be reduced by roughly 16.75%. At this altitude, this means a 2kw heater's output would be reduced to 1.6kw and a 4kw heater's output would be reduced to 3.3kw.
PLEASE NOTE:
The Planar manual states that the heater includes an extra fuel cap. It does not. The heater only comes with one.
The power cable supplied with the heater comes with ring terminals by default.
If you don't want ring terminals, you will either need to replace the ring terminals yourself, or buy one of our adapters that can be used to interface with different power sources. These adapters require our custom 20' adapter-ready power cable, seen in the video below.
Heaters will come standard with a dial temperature control. Optional Temperature Controls available can be found here.
