Do You Really Need a Diesel Heater for Overlanding? (Pros, Cons, When Does It Make Sense?)

This week, I'm asking the question, do you really need a diesel heater for Overlanding? I've been told for the last year or two that I needed one. Especially considering that I camp almost exclusively in the winter.

I've always fought it for a couple of reasons (skip to the "cons" chapter in the video to hear those). But, I finally broke down and bought one. I'm really loving it, but there are some things you have to think about.

Here are the links I promised in the video:

DC plug for diesel heater (this one works without splicing and is 4.5' long): https://amzn.to/3wSTD8M
