Diesel heaters

[WallaceandGromit]

Greetings still in search of my first MH and have seen a few advertised with diesel heaters, are they more efficient/cheaper to run than LPG. My current wobbly box has a gaslow system I fitted and plan to transfer and am currently paying £1.10 per LTR what are your opinions?

I would transfer it ,plenty of LPG available.

I would say it is more about convenience than cost .. if you go away in the Winter then diesel is more convenient. Especially if you go to the Alps.

A friend of mine is another fulltimer, with the same van and equal insulation. I have LPG heating, he has diesel.

Last winter we did a bit of a comparison and where my LPG (including cooking and instant water heating in my case) cost around £20 per week, his diesel heating cost around £10 per week.

My LPG cost without heating is around £15 per month.

I'd still keep the gaslow system though. In my next van I'll be installing an underslung tank for LPG again, but diesel heating.

So stick to LPG and transfer my gaslow then.

You can always install a deisel heater later .at least you will have refillable gas for fridge hob oven and heating in the interim.
