While the campfire may be king on a wintery day, few things beat predawn chills faster than the blast of a diesel-powered heater when camping up. At the Heathcote Queen Meadow Caravan Park we actually spotted one that’s locally made, the AU Focus 2kW MZ diesel heater, fitted to the Freebirds Dream Duo 20.6 that was perfect for our off-grid camp.
One of two AU Focus models available, the AU Focus MZ ‘Gen4’ features a 10-speed fan for fine-tuning air distribution and a responsive thermostat sensor that kicks in with a 2°C drop.
Freebirds fitted the AU Focus LCD panel with dial control bedside with the 5L stainless steel tank by the AU Focus checker-plate cover shielding on commute. It’s easy to keep track of the fuel reserve here, too, thanks to the large fuel gauge up top.
AU Focus has been supplying caravan manufacturers and DIY enthusiasts with diesel heaters for six years.
