Let’s face it—sometimes, even with the best tent, a sleeping bag alone isn’t enough to keep you warm. This is where the Planar 4kW Portable Diesel Heater comes in…
This heater is a game-changer for cold-weather camping, especially when temperatures drop deep below freezing. The Planar diesel heater is compact and highly efficient. It runs on diesel, which is readily available, and stores well in cold conditions. It’s easy to set up, and it reliably heats up even larger tents quickly, making it ideal for when I’m camping with my son or when I just need that extra layer of comfort.
What I love most about the Planar 4kW is its dependability. You can set it up to run consistently throughout the night, keeping the tent cozy without worrying about battery drain or fuel shortages. Plus, the 4kW output is powerful enough to heat a wide range of tents, including larger models like the MAXIA 480 and the RBM Outdoors Hexagon. Whether I’m out in moderate winter weather or facing a true cold snap, the Planar heater has become an essential part of my winter camping kit.
But, even in winter, ventilation is crucial to prevent condensation from building up inside the tent, which can make it feel colder and damp. I always leave a vent open slightly, even on frigid nights, to allow moisture to escape. This keeps the tent drier and far more comfortable, especially when running a heater inside. Proper ventilation is a small but critical step in ensuring a comfortable winter camping experience.
