Features
Details from the LF Bros N3 Amazon listing:
- Better High-Altitude Performance: Tested above 17,000 ft, this diesel air heater automatically adjusts combustion with altitude, delivering steady warmth on high-altitude adventures. The imported Japanese glow plug ensures fast, stable ignition and reduces startup failures. At only 9.24 lbs, the sandblasted aluminum body speeds heat transfer and minimizes energy loss for efficient heat output. Ideal for alpine camping, ice fishing, winter hunting, and mountain cabins.
- Power & Constant Temperature Modes: Enjoy two heating options designed for different comfort needs. Power Mode keeps the 5kw diesel heater running continuously at the selected power level, while Temperature Mode lets you set your desired temperature. Once the surrounding temperature rises 2°C above the set temperature, the heater automatically pauses and resumes heating when the temperature drops below the set point. This automatic temperature regulation helps maintain a comfortable environment and prevent overheating.
- Fast Heating & Flexible 24-Hour Timer: Warm air starts flowing within minutes, helping you get comfortable quickly during cold-weather camping and outdoor adventures. Set the 24-hour timer for a single or multiple heating periods to match your schedule, saving time and reducing unnecessary power use. The LCD panel clearly displays operating status and key information for easy monitoring.
- Exclusive Oil Leaking Proof: Our diesel parking air heater comes with a car-grade internal thread fuel tank cover, superior to ordinary simple lids. Using automotive sealing technology, it effectively stops fuel leakage and overflow and well suited for overlanding, road trips, and outdoor adventures where equipment is frequently moved.
- Real Use Anywhere: Apart from supporting 12v battery, the kit includes a 110V transformer. You can plug the heater directly to 110V sockets. No fuss to buy extra parts and do the DIY work to use it in you garage or basement. Keep you feel toasty in RV,car, camper,trailer,etc in winter. Get prepared when the weather takes a turn
- 6-Layer Built-In Protection: This parking air heater includes overheat protection, short-circuit protection, overvoltage protection, overcurrent protection, reverse connection protection, and surge protection. These safeguards help support reliable operation, so you can enjoy consistent warmth and greater comfort during everyday use.
