Hello folks from Recreo (formerly Heatport),
This month weβre introducing the Heater8R π
A truly self-generating π unit that recharges its own batteries while it runs.
PORTABILITY
No external battery required, making it ideal for ice fishing, hunting, camping, hiking, and off-road adventures.
HIGH-ALTITUDE COMPATIBILITY
Where many diesel heaters struggle, the Heater8Rβs innovative engineering keeps you warmβeven at altitude.
DUAL POWER SOURCE
Runs on diesel for operation while simultaneously charging its detachable batteries. Unlike other brands, it wonβt drain your 12-volt system.
EFFICIENT HEATING
With just 4.5L of diesel, the Heater8R delivers:
β’ 2.3kW (low setting) for 30+ hours
β’ 5.8kW (high setting) for 12β15 hours
Reliable, efficient heat when you need it most.
NOISE REDUCTION
Fitted with a muffler to minimise noise, making it suitable for quieter environments.
ADJUSTABLE EXHAUST & AIR CIRCULATION
Extend or adjust the tailpipe for directional control. Intake and exhaust vents can be set for internal or external circulation, offering flexibility and fresh-air management.
OFF-GRID READY
No need to worry about recharging a 12-volt batteryβand thanks to dry heat, no condensation-soaked mornings.
OVERLANDING FRIENDLY
Lightweight and compact, so you wonβt be sacrificing space or payload.
SELF-SUFFICIENT
No electrical connection required. Generates its own power to charge devices while producing clean, hot air.
Perfect for tents, pop-tops, cabins, or sheds.
Everything packs into a neat carry bag weighing just 15kgβideal for remote adventures. And because itβs diesel-powered, there are no special hazardous goods requirements for fly-ins.
Weβre incredibly grateful for the opportunity to support with heating solutions in huts across the country, including installations as remote as the Auckland Islands ποΈ
