- BATTLE OF THE NIGHT HEATERS, WHICH NIGHT HEATER AHOULD YOU INSTALL IN YOUR CAMPER VAN? WITH YOU GO WITH THE BUDGET BUSTING CHINESE NIGHT HEATER? OR WILL YOU GO FOR THE ORIGINAL NIGHT HEATER, THE KING OF DIESEL NIGHT HEATERS, THE ERBERSPACHER NIGHT HEATER? WHICH EVER DIESEL NIGHT HEATER YOU CHOOSE TO INSTALL IN YOUR VAN BE SURE TO INSTALL IT CORRECTLY AND MAINTAIN AND AND YOU WILL HAVE SAFE RELIABLE HEAT IN YOUR CAMPER VAN FOR MANY YEARS TO COME.
Hopefully in this video we will help you choose what night heater install in your van, the Chinese night heater or The erberspacher night heater. A diesel night heater is the most efficient way to heat your camper van this winter so let’s see which one to choose.
The Chinese night heater is a firm favourite among the vanlife community with its low entry price, but does it compare to the king of the night heaters brought to you by erberspacher?
These two night heaters are very different in price, but does the erberspacher have enough bells and whistles to make it worth the huge inflated price tag?

Great honest video. One thing you didn’t mention that is a big advantage for the eberspacher is the ability to plug into diagnostics that being if your near a repairer with the appropriate software, I’ll be honest I have used eberspacher for years until recently sold the last horse box and left the heater in it. On our new truck I fitted the Chinese heater and did notice the obvious little difference in quality but to be honest for the difference in price you would expect it but it runs exactly the same and does everything it’s supposed too. I paid 120 for it so even if it lasted a couple of years it’s cheap enough to throw away and replace. 👍
I had the Eberspacher on a boat that broke down twice. The 1st time the ecu had gone & cost over £300 plus fitting.The 2nd time i just gave up on it. I have had the Chinese (HCalory 5Kw)
in the workshop now for a year with no problems. I did quite a few reviews on my channel. Of all the comments there is just one person on a Forum i am a member of that hates them. Well i say hates, i don't think he has one but thinks anything Chinese is ready to nuke you at any time. Thanks for the great comparison.

If you are doing high altitude, you should also bear in mind the "altitude kit" offered by Eberspacher
That’s a fair point 👍
As a installer of diesel heaters for over 20 years, mostly in semi trucks and boats i can say that i like the Chinese diesel heaters, not better than the German ones but they do serve a purpose for people on a budget, IF and that's a big IF they are installed right. When I install the Chinese diesel heater I throw away most of the stuff that comes with them, like the exhaust system, mounting plate, green PVC fuel line and sometimes I make a custom wiring harness from scratch. Pretty soon I will be installing two of the metal body so called 8 kw Chinese diesel heaters in my 1967 GM New look city transit bus and it's going to be a crazy install but i need to finish building my batteries before I start on my heaters
The Aerolyn 2000 is a very good Chinese heater. With top quality parts.
And has the altitude kit too
Great video !
The eberspachers were marine models originally, just borrowed for vans. Much more important in a marine environment for it to be waterproof etc.
GREAT VIDIO I HAVE A 2kw CHINESE IN MY BOAT WORKS GREAT HAD IT AROND 4 YEARS I RUN THE RIDGED FEUL LINE ONLY CHANGES ARE LARGER FEUL FILTER ALSO MY TIP IS TO RUN SOME KEO WITH DEISAL SEEMS TO BURN OFF CARBIN WORKS ME IF I WAS TO UPDATE I WOULD GET A VIVA I BEEN TOLD THEY ARE THE NEW EBERSPACHER WITHOUT THE HIGH PRISE TAG
Nice work 👍
Thanks and thanks for watching 🙏
Absolutely brilliant...I'm literally about to buy a Chinese heater.
Id rather pay £80 a year on another Chinese heater if it was to break than the expensive one that needs serviced.
Makes sense to me, a new Chinese night heater is cheeper than the service fee on an erberspacher.
We have a video on how to fit a Chinese night heater that a lot of people find very helpful.
Im sure i had read about how the more expensive ones had a copyright on them that ran out. Correct me if im rong. Which left the market open for the budget ones. Happy days as not everyone can afford a Rolls-Royce lol 👍
That could be so, saying that the Chinese couldn’t care less who they copy 😂
@@simplycampervanconversions good point 👍
I think by myself; take the diesel heater and buy the exhaust and muffler from eberspacher or the Russian brand which name I can’t come up with? Cheers, Albert
That sounds like a good idea
You do know that the Chinese heaters are copys of the Erberspacher Air Tronics they are exact copies as the patent run out after 25yrs which allowed them to copy to the heaters to the exact detail
But they’re not as you can see in this video.
Just beside they were aloud to make an exact copy doesn’t mean they actually did it.
ERBERSPACHER vs CHINESE NIGHT 1000pounds vs 100pounds 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ive gone for the russian pannar , its yet to get fitted but its guaranteed down to minus 50 and is built like a tank. It feels like the lada version if heater , heavy,solid, no frills but built for roughnecks like me
