Sunster TB10 Diesel heater Tool box - perfect solution

[u/Woko_O]

Hey

I have a small camper van and travelling in Europe can be quite chilly these days. I was looking for some neat solution where I don’t have to adjust my van too much. I did not want to do some super install and also did not want to have the heater inside.

This toolbox is a perfect solution. I bought it on aliexpress in some “back to school” deal for like 120 burger bucks/ 100€. It has BT, many heating modes, remote, 6L tank, 2m air tube and long exhaust pipe and some other material.

It fits nicely under the van so I just put the tube in through some holes, create an output and it was ready to go.

It supposed to be 8kW but who knows. I can get my van from 13°C to 22°C in 10min in the lowest heating mode. It takes around 8-10A in startup and then it holds around 0,9-1A/14W when it runs. There is a thermostat function but I don’t use it because I believe it stop and start the heating during the drops/reach of temp.

So if anyone is looking for similar solution, I can recommend. Of course it is still cheap chinese heater but at least you have the box after and you can easily replace parts inside

Good to go!

I've got one, strong agree. Mine goes under the van with the heat pipe in through the window. It's super simple set up! Also no pump clicking noise!

Here is the output which is enough fot the whole van!

How do you get the hot air in the van?

There is a air flap under the rear bumper so I removed it and put the tube through in to the pillar and connect it to this output. I had to make a hole in the plastic trim and do some cable management

Lucky, I've been trying to figure out the best way to route some heat into my van for winter.

Really cool no/low-build solution. No way I would trust myself to not reverse over it one groggy morning though.

This looks perfect for my needs, thanks for sharing!

I can't tell what kind of van you have...any advice (from anyone) for how to get the heat into a NCV3 sprinter?

[u/siegfriedthenomad]

Thats amazing! Does it has an integrated fuel tank?

[u/Woko_O → u/siegfriedthenomad]

Yes, it does. 6L tank inside

Does anybody knows if there is something similar for water heating?
