I'd be very interested to know what sort of fuel economy you get in a single wide mobile home with one of these heaters.hugemoth said:.... Very nice heat though so I installed it in my house (old single wide) where it heats the whole place.
....One of the cons of diesel heaters is they're not great for short cycles where you want to take the chill off then shut it down. A Buddy heater or even a stove is better for that.
I have ZERO experience with this product, only what I have seen online but there is a product sold by a man in Australia that replaces your stock LCD display/controller that can do lots and lots of interesting things.
Have caution there is a copycat who stole his source code and is selling their own version which has NO SUPPORT for obvious reasons. Anyway it's called the "afterburner" it has bluetooth, wifi, android app, web based dashboard, and more.
It has modes to just knock the chill off although they would use more electricity warming the glow plug and the fan for startup and shutdown.
It even has a mode called frost something that if you installed it in a cabin for instance it would only warm enough to keep the inside from dropping below freezing.
Another feature is since it's a self metering fuel pump tou can tell it you added 5L of fuel and it keeps track of how much fuel is left. Pretty nifty, as expensive as the heater itself but you couldn't ask for more features. Something to consider for an off grid cabin for sure. Especially if it has internet connectivity.
