Autoterm Air 12V diesel heater kits for caravans and RVs
Choose the heater output and controller combination that suits your installation. These complete single-outlet RV kits combine an AUTOTERM Air diesel heater with the selected controller, installation components and model-appropriate hot-air ducting.
These are 12V RV kits. Marine kits, 24V heaters and heater-only units are available separately. If you are unsure which output is suitable, contact us before ordering so we can consider the vehicle size, insulation, climate and duct layout.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Air 4D simply a more powerful Air 2D?
They use the same basic diesel air-heating principle and compatible controller family. The Air 4D has twice the maximum heat output, nearly twice the maximum airflow, a larger heater body and higher maximum fuel and electrical consumption.
Should I automatically choose the 4 kW model?
Not necessarily. Correct sizing depends on the heated volume, insulation, expected outside temperature and duct design. An oversized heater may spend more time operating at low output, while an undersized heater may struggle in colder conditions.
Can these kits be used for marine installations?
These variants are configured as RV kits. Choose a dedicated marine kit where marine-grade mounting and exhaust components are required.
