RV Diesel Heater For Off-Grid Camping At High Elevation 9,000 Feet
Published 08/20/2025
Question:
We camp at 9,000–10,000 feet pretty often. Will the Velit diesel heater keep up without me having to constantly re-jet it like the old one I had?
asked by: Kevin
Expert Reply:
Kevin, this is exactly where the Velit Diesel RV Heater # VE66QV shines. It has an onboard barometer that auto-adjusts the fuel-air mix up to about 17,000 feet. That means no manual jetting or swapping settings at elevation.
Do you want this strictly for winter overnights in the van, or are you running it daily for ski trips?
Other high-altitude campers - how’s the Velit or other heaters been treating you in the Rockies or similar elevation?
