I don’t hear it what so ever. The fan, fuel pump, and exhaust is all silent from inside. I absolutely love mine so far. Today the temp was -5 and it’s 60° is my storage bay and 70-75 in the bedroom and bathroom. I’ll post a better follow up once I get home from work.

I don't notice any vibration, but there is a sound of a mini jet engine, but it is not bad. I have a duct booster ready to be hooked up to try and put some of this heat into the main living area, but it has been too cold to want to experiment.

i think i'll do some reading up on replacing the gas furnace with one of these diesel heaters in my Imagine 2610ML. I'm sure i still would need a fan of some sorts to run the air through the camper... New thing to research!

While I really like the diesel heaters, I would keep your original propane heater and supplement it with the diesel heater. The diesel heaters can require maintenance and having an inoperative heater wouldn't be a good thing, especially if you were waiting on repair parts.

I was a service manager for Thermo King 42 years and have much experience with Espar heaters. The most common issue with them (after 1000+ hours) is carbon deposits plugging up the combustion chamber and atomizing screen. One suggestion I would consider is, running it on kerosene. This burns much cleaner and almost eliminates carbon issues. Also less smell than diesel.
Just a suggestion.
Also, by chance, if you camp at altitudes over 5000 ft, carboning is increased dramatically and kerosene would be highly advised.Dan and Deb

We run these in our sled trailers in Canada. Best bet is to add a larger fuel tank to draw from that you can fill at the pump when you fill your truck. We also run a propane heater as a backup. You never know when you may need it.

As mentioned before. I’d keep the original furnace in place as a backup. We’re on our 3rd winter with the diesel heaters (2) and have been good so far (with some tweaks along the way)
The “booster fans” we ultimately went with, and are very happy with are found on Amazon when searching for “AC Infinity CLOUDLINE S4, Quiet 4” a little speedy at $90 a piece but worth it in the end. We also now use a 12 gallon fuel cell mounted in the front storage bay. Fill it about once a week ish (around $30)
Stupid question, do I need to...
