Campervan Diesel Heater Fitting
Vanmade provides diesel heater fitting for campervans, vans, caravans and motorhomes from our workshop in Sleaford, Lincolnshire. Whether you need a new heater supplied and fitted, a customer-supplied diesel heater installed, or advice on the right setup for your vehicle, we can help you get reliable heating for year-round use.
Diesel heaters fitted properly
Fitting a diesel heater into a van, campervan, caravan or motorhome needs to be done carefully. Poor installation can lead to fuel leaks, exhaust issues, poor heat output, noisy running, unsafe routing or problems with the internal finish.
We install diesel heaters neatly, with attention to heater position, fuel supply, exhaust routing, combustion air intake, ducting, wiring, controller location and final testing.
What We Can Fit
We fit diesel heaters and night heaters for campervans, vans, caravans and motorhomes. This can include customer-supplied heaters, branded diesel heaters, Chinese diesel heaters where suitable, and full diesel heater supply and fit options where required.

Why fit a diesel heater?
Warmth off-grid
A diesel heater gives you warm air inside the vehicle without needing mains hook-up. This is ideal for overnight stays, winter use and off-grid campervan trips.
What our fitting service includes
1|
Heater position
We help choose a sensible location based on space, access, ducting and internal layout.
2|
Vehicle inspection
We check the floor, underside, fuel route, wiring access and mounting area.

Mounting & cutting
The heater position is marked, drilled and cut to suit the mounting plate.

We test the heater, check operation and explain basic use before collection.
Vehicle Suitability
We fit diesel heaters to a wide range of campervans, panel vans, caravans and motorhomes, including popular base vehicles such as VW Transporter, Ford Transit Custom, Vauxhall Vivaro, VW Crafter, Mercedes Sprinter, Peugeot Boxer, Citroën Relay and Fiat Ducato.
Suitability depends on floor space, underside access, fuel tank position, exhaust routing, battery system, interior layout and whether the heater is being fitted inside the vehicle or underneath.
How Much Does Diesel Heater Fitting Cost?
The cost depends on the heater model, vehicle type, fitting position, fuel setup, ducting route, wiring access and whether the heater is supplied by us or by the customer. Simple installs are usually quicker, while more complex underfloor, caravan or motorhome installations can take longer.
Typical quote factors include:
▪ Heater and model fitting kit supplied
