diesel heater

1996 Grandby. I rebuilt this camper 3 years ago. New one piece roof with rigid insulation in roof, new headliner, lights, new max fans 6200 and 4400. Tent material new, sewn by ATC. Full length Yakima tracks and crossbars. 100 watt solar. 50 ah lithium battery. New tie downs from 4wc. Interior...

I installed electric in-floor heating (link below) in one of our house bathrooms, and we really enjoy it. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with using this type of product in a skoolie floor. The heating mats draw 12 watts/sq. ft. (~270 watts for my application), so I would size my solar...

I am building a small (5x8x4) foamie with 2" XPS foam with an R-10 rating. Based on some calculations I would need about 1k BTU to maintain a 50 deg F differential temp. Most small heaters (diesel/propane) are in the 5k-6.5k range. Something like this will put out so much heat so fast it will...

Hi all. I’ve currently got the 2kw Vevor diesel heater mounted to the floor of my van in the back corner just inside of the back left door. Hole cut in floor for the exhaust and fuel intake. I’m using the stock Vevor fuel reservoir mounted inside, but I’d love the move it outside. I keep a...

Hey folks, I've been having a smell from my diesel heater ever since it was installed. Not a diesel or exhaust smell but a plastic burning or hot plastic smell. It was present on my first diesel heater and now my second unfortunately. It is not an initial startup smell. I've been running...

Q: Does it come with a remote? A: Some do! You can turn it on/off or adjust temp. There are even Bluetooth app versions. Q: How long can it last? A: Usually 3–5 years if you take care of it. Don’t always run it at full blast. My friend said his LF Bros diesel heater can be used stably for 7...

A little white smoke is fine at startup. But if it keeps going after five minutes, something’s wrong. Check the nozzle. If it’s dirty or off-center, diesel won’t burn completely and causes smoke. Carbon buildup in the chamber also leads to weak ignition and white clouds. In cold weather...

I purchased a Vevor 2.5kw diesel heater. I'd like to mount the tank outside the van so I don't have to worry about fumes or the tank spilling in the interior of the van in the event of an accident (or worse). I was originally thinking I could mount the plastic tank on a frame rail and add an...

Hi! Looking into purchasing a lavaner (or similar) diesel heater. I am not 100% confident in my own skills to tap our diesel tank, have never done anything like it. Have called around various places in town, but have had zero luck with anyone who could help install. Is anyone located in Tulsa...

Hi all, I am considering adding a secondary fuel gauge to my diesel tank that runs off of the house batteries. The reason being that I have two diesel heaters to keep us warm, and I want to keep an eye on the fuel gauge without having to start up the bus occasionally. However, I have no idea...

I am converting a 1989 MCI, and have a 50A shore power connection running mostly AC. There are a few DC items I am going to run, so I have an AC to DC power converter that connects to a DC fuse block. My issue is I have two diesel heaters that are 20' and 30' from the fuse block. I tried using...

Hello! I've been converting a shuttle bus for some time and have had to compromise on many of the things I know I should do but hadn't the time or budget. In the end, I added poly board on the ceiling only and Luan and carpet on the walls. I have a cubic mini grizzly and considering diesel...

Hey people Not sure what's going on with our heater. We've had it installed for just over a year. Last fall, winter, spring it performed great with no problems. We've used it now the last three nights and there seems to be a problem with the settings. The temperature is set to 23c and I can't...

Thought I would post this information for those who might be thinking of changing out your FWC installed Atwood propane heater. Last year, after a couple of trips with 20 deg nightly temperatures, I decided to explore a diesel powered heater solution when I ran out of propane on both trips. I...
