I’m planning some off-grid camping trips this winter and looking for a reliable portable diesel heater to keep my tent and small camper warm during the nights. I came across the BougeRV portable diesel heater while browsing the BougeRV website, and it seems like a solid option — compact design, easy setup, and decent fuel efficiency. But before I buy, I’d love to hear from anyone who’s actually used it in real-world conditions.
How effective is it at maintaining heat in freezing temperatures? Does it warm up quickly, or does it take a while to reach a comfortable temperature inside a tent or camper? I’m also curious about the noise level — some diesel heaters are powerful but way too loud for peaceful camping.
Another question is about fuel consumption. If I’m running the BougeRV portable diesel heater overnight, how much diesel does it typically use? I’d like something efficient enough that I don’t have to constantly refill it. And how does it perform at higher altitudes where the air is thinner?
The BougeRV website mentions that it’s designed for both RVs and outdoor setups, which sounds convenient for people who switch between vehicles and campsites. But how durable is it over time, does it hold up to frequent use and rough travel?
If you’ve used the BougeRV portable diesel heater for camping, road trips, or garage heating, I’d really appreciate hearing your thoughts on reliability, performance, and any setup tips.
