A few years back, I had the opportunity to review a diesel heater from Sparks Overland that didn't quite meet my expectations. Today, I'm excited to share my first impressions of their latest prototype.
In this video, I'll be taking a closer look at the design and build quality of this heater.
Join me as I dive into the details and explore whether this heater lives up to the hype. Is it truly the game-changer we've been waiting for? Stick around for my honest thoughts and insights.
🔜 Stay tuned for the next video, where I'll be putting this heater to the test to see how it performs in real-world conditions. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe so you don't miss out!
***Pardon folks, at the time of recording of this video I was under the impression this heater core was made in Canada. I was mistaken, the heater core in this prototype heater is actually Chinese origin.***
