We’ve just experienced a big snowstorm here in the Ozarks, and that got us thinking about winter camping and staying warm. So, we decided to put the Vevor diesel heater to the test—both in our van and our Jeep—to see how it performs in real-world conditions. Spoiler alert: this little heater is a game-changer!
First, some quick setup. This Vevor heater is a portable unit with everything you need: a heater, controller, remote start, and a built-in gas tank. While it’s mostly plug-and-play, it does require some minor assembly. We love its portability, as it allows us to switch easily between the van and Jeep—a must for our dual-vehicle adventures.
In our first test, we set it up in the van. Outside, it was just below freezing. Within 25 minutes, the temperature inside jumped to 63°F! Even with our van’s less-than-perfect insulation, this heater worked wonders. We did encounter some challenges, like figuring out the best way to duct the heat through a window without losing efficiency, but the warmth it provided made it all worth it.
Next, we tested the heater in our Jeep’s tent. With temperatures outside at 28°F and a wind chill making it feel closer to 20°F, the heater turned the tent into a toasty sanctuary. In just 10 minutes on level five, the interior temperature reached 68°F. On the lowest setting, it maintained a cozy 70°F, so warm we had to vent the tent to avoid overheating. It’s small, powerful, and so efficient that we’re rethinking our entire winter camping setup.
The Vevor diesel heater also has some great bonus features. The remote lets you adjust the settings without leaving your warm spot, and there’s even a Bluetooth app for control. The heater’s fuel consumption is minimal—after half an hour of use, we barely noticed a drop in the fuel level. It’s also easy to maintain, as we found during our tests.
If you’ve been hesitant about winter camping or are looking for an efficient way to stay warm on the road, this heater is a fantastic investment.
