Diesel heater power need

[Pierre C]

Good day to all!

I’m looking at building a portable diesel heater. Currently I have a 110 amp/h battery in the trailer which we use manly as a base camp. The battery supply manly a freezer. What is the draw of a typical heater? Would I need more battery?

I’m also interested to know if you’d go portable or upgrade the trailer power.

Thanks!
