Can one operate the heater on the go, an hour or so before the nights stop. So the van is warm to step into on arrival on these cold afternoons.
Its been so cold today, I was just thinking maybe or not. I see that they use them in trucks as well, so I thought the same for the van.
We are planning ahead.

The UK based Eberspacher website of their diesel heaters say they are OK to use on the move. Also legal in most countries although they don't specify which ones.

just remember to turn it off if you go into a service station so you don't become a source of ignition(the odds might be long but somebody wins lotto every week)

There is no naked flame with a diesel heater and I can hold my hand under the stainless steel exhaust pipe with comfort...........can safely drive with them working and refueling Tug is also safe. European trucks have them running continously, in their winter, to keep the cabin warm, the engine warm and the fuel in the fuel tanks warm.

I sure there is a flame contained within the heat exchanger where air is drawn in for the combustion process then passes out the exhaust if that is the case anyone fuelling up with petrol(or the vehicles on next pump) near the intake might get a big surprise
but I stand to be corrected
would a gas heater not have a flame burning to produce heat the flame is not exposed to the air in the van but works via a heat exchange the same as a diesel heater just different fuel
