Description

Born To Roam by AU Focus has built a reputation for quality, reliability, safety and great value for money and that is why its Diesel Heaters are now being used by Jayco throughout Australia. Designed with premium quality and easy DIY installation in mind.

With a compact design, it's easy to fit into any caravan without sacrificing space. You can control the heater through the included remote, LCD panel, or even your phone via Bluetooth, making it effortless to adjust the temperature. Its three modes - Fan, Manual Heat, and Smart Mode - give you total control, whether you want to maintain a steady temperature or adjust fuel consumption.

Built with durable materials like heat-resistant casing, a quiet heavy-duty fuel pump, and high-quality filters, this kit ensures longevity and efficiency. Plus, the flame retardant components and voltage protection add layers of safety, giving you one less thing to worry about during your travels.

What's the Difference Between the AUFocus 2kW MZ and the Born To Roam 2kW Diesel Heater?

The Born To Roam 2kW Diesel Heater is a new generation model commissioned specifically for Jayco, built by AUFocus using the same trusted core components as the popular AUFocus 2kW MZ. However, it features several key upgrades to simplify installation and improve fitment in modern caravans:

1. Custom Mounting Plate - Designed for cleaner installs, with pre-drilled provisions for pump and main power wiring.
2. Detachable Pump Power Lead - Allows you to mount the unit first and connect wiring afterward, giving more flexibility and a neater finish.
3. Thicker Gasket Seal - Improved thermal insulation between the heater body and mounting surface helps reduce heat transfer to the floor.

For this mounting-plate design, use the attached BTR-2KW installation manual, marked Ver 1-20305, together with its preceding Installation Manual Update sheet. The update replaces steps 3 and 20 and adds wiring-routing instructions to step 9. Use the supplied mounting plate as the installation template. Hole saws and installation tools are available separately.

Route the exhaust outside the vehicle so fumes cannot collect underneath or enter the cabin, and keep the combustion-air intake away from the exhaust outlet. Exhaust leakage into the cabin presents a carbon monoxide hazard. After switching the heater off at the controller, leave its power connected until the 3-5 minute cool-down cycle finishes; interrupting this cycle can cause excessive smoke and carbon build-up.
