Overview
Bring dependable, space-conscious heat to your vehicle-based adventures with the VELIT Portable Air Heater, a compact heating system designed for overlanding, camping, vans, trucks, trailers, and other compatible mobile setups.
Available in gasoline and diesel configurations, the VELIT gives customers the ability to select a heater that fits their preferred fuel setup. For gasoline-powered vehicles in particular, the gasoline version can simplify an overland build by allowing you to carry the same general fuel type as your vehicle rather than adding diesel solely for the heater.
The portable design combines quick-connect fuel fittings, magnetic air ducting, weather-conscious electrical connections, Bluetooth thermostat control, and an integrated carbon monoxide sensor to create a heating system designed around easier setup and transport.
VELIT also states that the heater has been tested at elevations above 11,000 feet, making high-elevation capability an important differentiator for customers whose adventures extend well beyond conventional campgrounds.

Why This Product Stands Out
Many portable combustion heaters begin with the assumption that you're carrying diesel.
That's not always ideal for an overlander driving a gasoline-powered vehicle.
The gasoline version of the VELIT Portable Air Heater gives those customers another option.
Instead of carrying diesel solely to operate the heater, a gasoline-based setup can be built around the same general fuel type already being carried for a gasoline vehicle.
But fuel flexibility is only part of the story.
VELIT has also designed the system around portability:
Quick-Connect Fuel + Magnetic Ducting + Compact Heater + Bluetooth Control
That makes the heater particularly attractive for customers who don't want a permanently installed heating system consuming valuable interior space.
And for mountain travelers, VELIT's stated testing above 11,000 feet adds another important advantage.

Additional Technical Specifications
Who This Is For
The VELIT Portable Air Heater is designed for customers who need compact heated-air capability as part of a mobile outdoor setup.
It's particularly well suited for:
- Overlanders
- Vehicle-based campers
- Truck campers
- Van travelers
- Adventure vehicles
- Off-grid camping setups
- Cold-weather camping
- High-elevation travel
- Customers who don't want a permanently mounted heater
- Gasoline-vehicle owners who prefer a gasoline heater configuration
- Customers wanting quick-connect setup and breakdown
- Travelers who value compact equipment
It's particularly compelling for a gasoline-powered overland vehicle where carrying diesel exclusively for a heater would add another fuel container and another fuel-management requirement.
Choose Your Fuel Configuration
The VELIT Portable Air Heater is offered in:
GASOLINE
or
DIESEL
Customers should select the model designed for the fuel they intend to use.
Gasoline Version
The gasoline configuration is particularly useful for customers whose primary vehicle already runs on gasoline.
This can simplify fuel planning by reducing the need to carry diesel solely for the heating system.
Diesel Version
The diesel configuration is a natural choice for diesel-powered vehicles or customers who already maintain a diesel fuel supply as part of their travel setup.
Important
Use only the fuel specified for the exact heater model.
Never substitute gasoline for diesel or diesel for gasoline unless VELIT expressly identifies the specific heater as approved for both fuels.
Fuel Supply Options
VELIT offers two approaches to supplying fuel to the portable heater.
BYOC — Bring Your Own Can Kit
The BYOC configuration is designed for customers who already have a compatible overland fuel container.
The supplied system includes a custom fuel-can cap with:
Fuel-Line Dry Break + Preassembled Pickup Line
VELIT states that the system works with RotopaX and other overland gas cans.
Because fuel-can necks, caps, venting systems, and regulations can vary, customers should verify compatibility with their exact container before use.
Detachable One-Gallon Fuel Can
For customers who prefer a more complete fuel solution, VELIT offers a:
1-Gallon Detachable Fuel Can
The can incorporates the appropriate connection for quick attachment and removal from the heater system.
This provides a compact dedicated fuel supply without requiring the customer to configure a separate can.
Important
The BYOC kit and one-gallon fuel can appear to be fuel-supply options, rather than both being standard equipment with every heater.
High-Elevation Capability
VELIT states that the heater has been:
TESTED ABOVE 11,000 FEET
This is an important feature for overlanders and campers who travel through mountainous terrain.
Combustion appliances can behave differently as elevation changes because atmospheric conditions affect combustion.
Manufacturer-high-elevation testing.
Actual operation can depend on:
Elevation • Temperature • Fuel • Power Supply • Installation • Airflow • Maintenance • Operating Conditions
Always follow VELIT's altitude-specific operating instructions.
Bluetooth Thermostat
The heater includes a:
Bluetooth Thermostat
This adds convenient control to a system designed around portable use.
The supplied thermostat extension wire is:
10 Feet
giving additional flexibility when positioning the control relative to the heater.
Follow VELIT's instructions for thermostat placement to ensure appropriate operation and temperature sensing.
Integrated Carbon Monoxide Sensor
The supplied thermostat incorporates a:
CARBON MONOXIDE SENSOR
This is an important safety-monitoring feature, but it needs to be marketed responsibly.
Important CO Safety
A carbon monoxide sensor does not make it safe to operate a combustion heater in an improperly ventilated or prohibited enclosed space.
The heater's combustion intake and exhaust must be installed and routed exactly according to VELIT's instructions.
Never:
- Route combustion exhaust into an occupied space.
- Block combustion intake or exhaust.
- Operate the heater contrary to VELIT's ventilation requirements.
- Rely exclusively on the integrated sensor as your only safety measure.
- Ignore a CO warning or alarm.
- Modify the exhaust system without manufacturer approval.
A properly installed independent CO alarm may also be appropriate where required or recommended.
If a CO alarm activates, occupants should move to fresh air and follow applicable emergency guidance rather than attempting to continue operating the heater.
Quick-Connect Design
VELIT has designed several parts of the heater around quicker setup and breakdown.
Fuel-Line Dry Breaks
Quick-connect fuel fittings simplify attaching and detaching the fuel source.
Magnetic Air Duct
The supplied heated-air duct attaches magnetically for convenient routing.
Aviation-Style Electrical Connections
Weather-conscious electrical connectors help create a more purpose-built portable system.
Together, these features support one of the product's strongest advantages:
SET UP → HEAT → DISCONNECT → PACK AWAY
rather than requiring the heater to remain permanently installed.
Magnetic Air Duct
The package includes a:
6-Foot Magnetic Air Duct
This allows heated air to be directed from the heater toward the intended occupied space while the combustion unit is positioned according to VELIT's instructions.
The duct should be:
- Routed without excessive restriction.
- Kept away from inappropriate heat-sensitive materials.
- Protected from crushing or blockage.
- Installed according to manufacturer requirements.
- Checked during operation.
Do not assume the magnetic connection is suitable for every mounting surface or orientation.
Power Connections
The supplied package includes:
- 6-Foot Power Cable
- XT60-to-Cigarette-Lighter Adapter
This provides flexibility when connecting the heater to an appropriate vehicle or portable power setup.
Important Electrical Consideration
Before using a cigarette-lighter-style outlet, confirm that the outlet, wiring, fuse, connector, and power source meet VELIT's required voltage and current specifications.
Do not assume every vehicle accessory outlet can safely supply the heater simply because an adapter is included.
The heater's actual electrical requirements should be published once confirmed from VELIT's technical specifications.
What's Included
The supplied standard heater package lists:
- VELIT Portable Air Heater
- Bluetooth Thermostat with CO Sensor
- 10 ft. Thermostat Extension Wire
- 6 ft. Rubber Fuel Line
- 6 ft. Power Cable
- XT60-to-Cigarette-Lighter Adapter
- 6 ft. Magnetic Air Duct
