This is a 12V diesel air heater for campervans, caravans, boats, trucks and motorhomes. The Triclicks diesel heater 5KW-8KW also works in sheds, garages, workshops and offices. It heats only, so there is no cooling mode.
An LCD display shows the running state and a remote control sets preheating, fuel quantity, temperature and fan speed. It can clear frost and fog from windows too. A silencer keeps noise down.
The heater weighs 6.5kg and measures 38.86 cm long. It runs in temperatures from -40℃ to +50℃. The kit has all the standard installation parts and a manual.
It suits 12V vehicles such as trucks, boats, trailers, motorhomes, caravans and campervans. The listing also says it works indoors in a home, office, warehouse or factory. Reviewers have used it in a canal boat, a garden office and a shed. Smaller spaces warm faster. For a large area the seller advises buying more than one heater.
The remote needs setting up before first use. Turn the heater off. Hold the Up button on the heater until "HFR" appears on the screen. Then press Unlock on the remote and press OK. This only works while the heater is stopped. The remote takes 1 AAA battery, which is included.
Owners report warm air within about 2 minutes and full temperature in around 10 minutes. One owner heated an XLWB high-top camper van from 10℃ to 20℃ in about 45 minutes. A heater that burns fuel needs a short start-up first. One reviewer advised running it for 5 minutes before expecting heat. The pump may take a few minutes to start.
Mostly no. A silencer is fitted and the oil pump has a low pulse frequency. Several reviewers called the exhaust and pump quiet. One said it sounds like an older computer. Another found the pump noisy. Expect a high-pitched whine at start-up and cool-down. One owner said it stopped after 5 to 10 minutes.
It depends on your skills and where you fit it. The kit has what a standard install needs. The listing recommends a professional. Some reviewers fitted it easily. Others took a couple of days or gave up and returned it. Hose clips and brackets were too small for some. A 60mm turret plate was a common tip. Watching YouTube videos helped most owners.
Poor, according to customers. Of 22 mentions, 21 were negative. Reviewers say the English is hard to follow. Some say the manual describes a different heater or does not match the LCD. One owner found the priming advice online was for another model. This model began priming when switched on. They switched it off and on about 4 times to get fuel to the heater.
Results are mixed. Many owners report it working well. Others report failures. Some units stopped within a week to three months. The oil pump and control panel are the parts named most. Other owners report smoke, fuel in the exhaust and error codes E8 and E10. Fitting it carefully may help. One owner advises testing it before the final install.
Maybe. One reviewer replaced an Eberspacher D2 with it. The heater was about 30% bigger. Its air ducts were 75mm against 60mm on the Eberspacher. The old mounting plate would not fit. So check your space and ducting first. The reviewer mounted it inside the van under the driver's seat. They also used the old fuel pump with some rewiring.
