Ducted Camping Heater

G'day Jason,

Based on your description I think this should be fine, the main requirement is to position the unit in a weather-protected and well-ventilated space. The unit will switch off if oxygen levels are too low, but in the front awning, it should be fine.  

G'day Victoria,

Absolutely!  Thats the fantastic thing about this heating unit, with the combustion component outside and the heat being ducted into your tent, its definately a safe way to go.

G'day Matt,

We've done some testing here and we can confirm that the Ducted Camping Heater can be run from a 9kg bottle using the Coleman BOM Hose or the Companion Hose Kit POL-BOM. One suggestion that we'd make is to make sure you tighten the hose fitting to the regulator so it is quite firm and engages the gas release pin.

G'day Christine,

As long as the area under your camper trailer is quite open and well ventilated, I dont see an issue sheltering the main unit there.

G'day Paul,

You can definately duct into your Jayco Hawk, as to the tempertaures you'll get, there are too many variables!
Gasmate have advised that the output temperature measured at the outlet is 58*c, tested at an ambient temp of 15*c, but as this is a new unit and we havent had a chance to gain customer feedback or put it through its paces for ourselves, we can't advise you further than that.

G'day Matt,

That's correct. The battery powers the fan and ignition so you will only get 5-6 hours of run time before needing to charge the unit again. You also cannot run the Gasmate Ducted Camping Heater whilst it is charging.

G'day Jainee,

Unfortunately, you can't regulate the airflow as the unit comes with just the one speed. 

G'day Andre, 

The output of the 240v charger is 14Vdc 500mA.
No, you cannot run the Gasmate Ducted Camping Heater whilst it is charging.  The isolator switch on the front of the unit needs to be set to 'charge' OR 'run'. 
Hope that helps!

G'day Bob,

Theres no IP rating on this unit, it cannot be left in the rain.

G'day Janelle,

It seems you can, but just as a disclaimer, nowhere in the documentation does it say that you can.

We hooked it up to a portable power pack that read 12.8V on the voltmeter using a standard cigarette to 12V pin cable and the red light blinked as though it was taking charge. I don't know how long this would take to charge, and it would probably never reach full charge, but it seems to work.

To match the existing charger you would need a step up transformer to match the 14V, or you'd need an inverter if you want to use the original 240v cable that comes with the Gasmate Ducted Camping Heater. 

Hope that helps!
