Hi all, some advice would be great. I have a new van on order and speced with factory parking heater however someone has mentioned this will not be any good for sleeping in the van because the heater will only stay on for a maximum of 2 hours, is this true? Thanks to anyone that can help.

I've got this heater specced on my van thats on order also. It's the same as fitted to the California Models so what you have been told is not correct.
That's interesting, the reason I've asked is because I'm having the van converted when it arrives and the company that are converting it told me this. They have 15 years experience in converting vans so I thought they must know what they are talking about.. Anyone have a van with the parking heater that can confirm it's the same as the California heating system?
I have a factory fitted heater. The operation time is set using the settings on the overhead control panel. The Remote setting has a maximum of 2 hours. Remote is the radio key fob. The heater timer when activated from the on button on the controller can be set to infinite.
@Pauly has given the answer above if it is an OEM heater
Perfect. Is your van the 6.1 because my converter said two hour max was on the t6 so wasn't 100 percent sure about 6.1 heating system
Ha ha, that's brilliant so the converter by the sounds of it is just trying to fleece me for another diesel heater, wtf!
Would you mind posting a picture of your control unit please?
Temperature can be set between 1 and 10. Time can be set from 10 minutes to 120 minutes in increments of 5 minutes then next press is infinite
Thank you for this. So it's not like a thermostat like you have in your home where it will hold the required temperature automatically or does it?
This is fantastic information and you just saved me some money, cheers!Yes it holds the temperature by coming on and off and changing the fan speed. 1 is relatively cool and 10 is fkin roasting
I keep it on 1 or 2 throughout the night.
Does that just come up with the word “ heat” ?
