Cold weather can take the enjoyment out of a trip fast, which is why a reliable heating setup makes such a difference. At Caravan and Trailer Clinic Geelong, we install and service diesel heaters that keep your caravan or camper warm, even when temperatures drop overnight. Diesel heating provides steady, efficient warmth without relying on powered sites, making it ideal for travellers who like to explore regional areas or camp off-grid. If your current heater is unreliable, noisy, or struggling to heat your space evenly, upgrading to a dependable diesel system can significantly improve your travel experience. We can help you choose the right setup and make sure it runs safely and smoothly.

A comfortable caravan shouldn’t depend on the weather. If you want simple heating, friendly support and a system that works wherever you go, we’re here to help. Call us on (03) 9111 9953 to book your diesel heater installation or service.
Reliable Warmth
Off-Grid Comfort
Why Diesel Heating Makes Travel Easier
A diesel heater offers more than warmth; It creates a comfortable space where you can rest, cook, sleep and relax on cold mornings or chilly nights. Many travellers value how efficient these heaters are, using only small amounts of power and fuel to maintain a steady temperature. They also warm the air gradually, reducing condensation and helping keep bedding, clothing and interior surfaces dry. This makes winter travel more pleasant and minimises moisture-related issues.
The travel advantages of diesel heating include:
- Consistent Heating: Maintains stable warmth in compact spaces.
- Low Power Use: Ideal for off-grid or rural travel with limited power.
- Reduced Condensation: Keeps your caravan drier and more comfortable.

With these benefits, diesel heaters make cool-weather travel far more enjoyable. Reach out to enquire.
FAQ
Are diesel heaters safe to use in caravans?
Diesel heaters are widely used in caravans because they are designed with sealed combustion chambers that separate exhaust fumes from indoor air. The system draws air from outside, heats it, then releases clean warm air into the caravan. Regular servicing and correct installation ensure safe operation. As with any heating system, good ventilation and routine checks help maintain safe performance.
How much fuel does a diesel heater use?
Most caravan diesel heaters are extremely fuel efficient, using roughly 100 to 250 millilitres of diesel per hour, depending on the model and heat setting. Many travellers can run their heater through the night without significantly affecting fuel levels. Because the fuel is drawn directly from the caravan’s tank or a small auxiliary tank, it’s easy to monitor and maintain on long trips.
Can a diesel heater run off-grid?
Yes, diesel heaters are ideal for off-grid travel because they require very little electrical power to operate once running. They draw minimal battery power, making them suitable for caravans equipped with basic 12V setups. This makes diesel heating a popular choice for remote touring, national park camping and travellers who prefer not to rely on powered caravan sites.
