Little video of the heater running. I've had it running for a total of 3 hours straight. So far no issues. Plywood around the exhaust is fine, no toxic fumes coming in the trailer due to "negative" air pressure. Battery draw is a concern and I can see that I will at some point need to upgrade my battery & solar system. One 100ahm 12v battery with crappy HF isn't going to keep the battery going. Luckily for now I can charge the battery if needed with the generator. Not sure how much diesel I have burnt. The tank did come equipped with a sending unit installed. I ordered a gauge for it and it should be here today to install.
On another note I ordered drawer slides and will be installing drawers and removing plastic storage tubs and the chuck box that currently lives on the counter space. I am also considering enclosing the space at the front cabinet to help deaden the sound of the heater. Which for me isn't bad but I know the wife will complain about the ticking from the pump all night.
