The Combusto is made to meet the demands of overlanders on winter expeditions. It delivers dependable warmth and comfort, so you can focus on the journey—not on shivering through the night or fumbling with propane tanks in the freezing dark.The Combusto!
Premium Heater In a Bunker
Rugged and reliable, this heater is built for weekend warriors to hardcore overlanders. At its core is a premium 5kW unit from our trusted manufacturer—never a cheap rebrand like Vevor—delivering steady warmth through the coldest nights. Perfect for rooftop tents, ground shelters, or even your garage workspace. Our mission is simple: break the stereotype of the ‘cheap Chinese diesel heater’ by offering something you can count on during your adventures.
High-Altitude Performance
Equipped with built-in elevation and cold-air sensors, the unit delivers consistent, dependable heat at altitudes up to 13,000 feet — making it ideal for high-mountain adventures and challenging terrain.
Fuel Consumption & Efficiency
A 5kw, generally speaking is overkill for a RTT, so we recommend always running on its lowest setting. A full 6-liter diesel tank typically lasts 3 nights. According to most user feedback, you really won’t need to run it at full blast while sleeping—unless you want to wake up roasted!
How Does It Work?
The diesel heater burns fuel in a engine to make heat. A fan pulls in clean air, passes it over a hot metal part inside, and transfer the warm air into your space by ducting. The exhaust goes outside through a pipe with muffler — so only clean, dry heat stays inside. It’s safe, fuel-efficient, and great for staying warm in cold or high places.
