Will a 2KW heater keep a camper van warm?

Yes for a small, insulated van in mild to cold weather. It struggles in a large or poorly insulated space, where a 5KW unit is the safer choice.

Does it work on both 12V and 24V?

Yes, it is built for 12V or 24V DC systems, which covers most vans, trucks and boats. Check the wiring and fuse rating for your system.

What do I need to install it?

You need a diesel tank or tap, the fuel pump and lines, an exhaust routed outside, combustion air intake, and a power connection. Plan the exhaust and intake so fumes never enter the cabin.

Can I control it from my phone?

Yes, it has Bluetooth app control for starting, stopping and setting temperature. Range is short, so you need to be near the unit.

Is it safe to run while sleeping?

Diesel air heaters are commonly used overnight when installed correctly, with exhaust and combustion air routed outside and a carbon monoxide alarm in the space.

How does it compare with a 5KW diesel heater?

It uses less fuel and power and fits smaller spaces, but heats more slowly and has less headroom in cold weather. Choose 5KW for big or drafty areas.

Our take on the LIYU 2KW Diesel Air Heater 12V/24V Bluetooth

The LIYU 2KW is a compact diesel air heater for cabins, vans, tents and workshops. It runs on 12V or 24V DC and pairs with a phone app over Bluetooth, so you can start it and set the temperature without leaving your seat. It is a low-output heater, so it suits small, insulated spaces rather than large or drafty ones. Against the common 5KW units it uses less fuel and draws less power, but it warms a space more slowly. Owners of similar Chinese diesel heaters report strong heat for the size once installed, with the usual caveats about the controller, fuel pump noise and installation work.
