Used mine when it was -2degs. No issues.
Camped tonight at Jericho Qld. Expecting that we won't be using the diesel heater again this trip. Mostly free, low cost or donation camping. Has been used every night for between a couple of hours and all night since being at a site South of the Devils Marbles many weeks ago. So tonight I'm using the expander bed for sleeping for the first time since Elliott waterhole. Could not give a higher value for money rating to the diesel heater. Ease of use, economy, nothing explosive, low drain on battery, very quiet after initial heating, heating ability, able to be refilled while refuelling vehicle, not tied to mains power, happy wife, all brilliant.
Really? Didn't know that.You know @Crusty181 has one ?
Shame as I was going to offer to sell him mine as didn't use it near Kynuna (doona and track suit was enough) last night and at Camooweal tonight (must be as low as 17). Now within walking distance of a civilised border.
Wouldn't be game enough to tell the boss that I offered it, even as a joke. It would rate as equal best item for the trip along with the Ranger that was fault free this trip.@PhilD ... how much $ ??
If you've read my story on the debacle of last years intended trip then actually getting through a whole trip with no car troubles was a satisfying achievement. Down to SA, up through Vic, across through NSW to Coffs, back across the GDR, right up through Toowoomba just ahead of the snow on the New England Hwy, Gayndah, across to Maryborough, back through Gayndah and on to Dululu and the Capricorn Way, Longreach, Mt Isa, 3 Ways and home. We even made it down the Waterfall Way from Dorrigo to Bellingen without kissing the guard rails with van or car. Must take some Valium and watch the recording from the car camera for that last bit some time to remind me why we didn't go back up that way. Thankfully I didn't have the in car voice recording getting my expletives. No we're back home I might get to do a better trip report, with limited pics.I hear ya @PhilD ... the only thing better than one diesel heater is two. I think you lost you way with the Ranger comment tho; bit cheeky trying to slip that one through
