Great job. The only thing I would have done differently is to fix the plate to the heater and connect the pipework before I fixed the plate to the floor, just so I wouldn't have to fit it all from underneath.

No way would I have run the fuel.pipes in the van and not fitted the pump.in the van if you get a fuel. Leak it will stink the van out mine leaked after 2 years them rubber fuel.pipe connectors crack so be warned

I used some of that plastic tubing you're saying smells of plastic. What I did was hook up the entire length of 16 feet (487 cm) tubing to my diesel heaster and ran it for a few days to plumb heat into my coach while I worked inside. (I had the diesel heater setting on a stand outside, blowing through an open window with a piece of styrofoam board insulation to fill the air gap) And yes, it did have a smell for a while, but after a few hours, the smell burned off, and it doesn't smell anymore. The tubing does get a little warm to the touch, but not enough to set anything on fire. But, as a precaution, when I mounted my heater in the side under floor storage bay and kitchen cabinet, I slipped a 4" (101mm) over the 3" (76mm) ductwork to act as a heat shielding, and it gives off zero heat now off in the compartments the ducting goes through. ( The 4" flex heater tubing was old dryer ducting I had laying around and just sipped it over the 3" like a blanket) Like I said, I mounted my heater in a side bay under the floor and ducted the heater into my exhisting propane furnace heat ducting and added a "Y" splitter, with diverter flap, so I can run either heat system through the floor to the entire 38' coach. Also, I'll throw this out. They make a nice, through the wall. exit flange panel for the exhaust pipe that makes the exhaust plumbing really nice, rather than just having another exhaist pipe hangong under the coach. (Amazon) And lastly, the last thing I wanted to hear was that heaters fuel pump clicking all night, so I mounted it under the coach wrapped in insulation and metal straps so I can barelty hear it click when its running. Enjoyed the video! I live in Texas, so our coaches are a little bigger than the ones you guys get! 😊

Paul.great job I did the same setup on my van but where the exhaust exits at the side of the van I fitted a a small cover on the end of cut pipe you can get them from the webarsto website.Roger.

Hi both the Tex about the diesel heater on top of the wood burner was to give it a very good run and we have 2 wood burners we have a large house Though if people look at Tex would think we would be watching tv while heater is ticking 😂😂🤭ps not Sean a black stag nice shape

Welldone Redders i must say when you do a job near enough isn’t good enough welldone ( looked a real ball ache). I will keep using my Alde heating i am blessed as system is fitted with a heat exchanger manifold which runs of the water from the engines radiator (Swift Kontiki 669) just start the engine set the temp on the control panel and Bobs your uncle so when travelling everything heats up roasty toasty. The old Stag looked very shiny and your motorhome always looks lovely,what waxes do you use i guess some kind of Kanuba wax. Catchup with you guys soon thankyou for what you do superb x Take care.

As a man of a certain age that pump sounds like the intro to New Order, Blue Monday. 😜🤣

Well done, impressive. 👍 I wouldn't know where to start other than using my credit card to pay for it to be fitted. 🥴

Paul I admire your patience on doing this job I give you 100% for doing it

Hi. I can never understand why the diesel heaters can't be connected to the trunking for the existing van heater so you get heat from all the outlets instead of just one outlet.

From having Eberspachers in my yachts over many years I think you have done a good overall job especially having heater in its own compartment and not cramming it in with other items. Apart from the ticking pump even quiet ones that may be annoying I would suggest having a instrument that burns diesel under where you are sitting fitted in highly flammable surroundings I think safety is vital. It may be an idea to line the space with unflammable material like they do gas lockers. On my yachts which had commercial safety certificates there would be requirement for auto fire extinguisher (you can get small relatively cheap ones) Finally it is worth checking the heater has enough ventilation to draw air they do suck quite a volume of air and being in a small space if not drawing properly will have safety issues.

Nice one redders, patience is a virtue 👍😁, some difference on the new pump, great job 👍👍

Very informative as always thank you chick. Hope ur all well? Tc xx

good job, good coffee service 👍 and as you say, lots of "options there 🙂 hope you gonna enjoy it on your next trip.... ?alaska 🙄

Great job both, you fitting it and your wife bringing you coffees ❤❤ xx

red where did you get the new fuel pump from please

glad all it works

reds iv read the heater pipe should not have a bend straight from the heater

the exhuast should slop down to let the water drops out

red wher the cut out is on the plate is for the wire to come throught so iv done the same on the truett

My little girls are now French. Wonderful vets.

That heater pump is going to drive you nuts being installed inside the van may be best to put it outside under the van ……just a thought

Nice job buddy 5* 👍🏻

We had a VW California with a diesel heater. They all ‘tick’. Truma now locate the pump outside the van. No idea how much this helps.

Splendid job, just one question what's the blue pipe next to the heater ?

You won't be able to change it so please accept it. Dolly doesn't care......

Out of interest, why doesn’t anyone plumb it in to the existing pipe work so it comes out of all vents throughout the van?

You be better of buying a super silent filter built into pump and should be under van to reduce tick and a sheaf what goes over exhaust from heater

Hey Redder’s you’ve got the patience of a saint!! 🙄 well done !!! Xxx

Well done you find the exhaust will only last 2 years then just rots away if pos make sure there no low points in the run that holds water else it will rust in now time enjoy ya vlogs

Hi both and not forgetting the dogs diesel heater I bought 1 Chinese and I got a quieter pump the same as the one you have built in filter like you’ve mentioned the exhaust is basically not brilliant the clips are not good but once you’ve sorted out all the duff parts /I’ve got one on top of the wood burner Using the chimney it’s been working great since October to date a good test before I install in motorhome can’t be to careful fumes and heat as your well aware as you were a retired fire man good job by the way 👍 my problem is where to put it

Just be careful guys, you’ve not left much room for ventilation around the heater they do get hot! I’d have also installed the pump externally as they are quite noisy especially when it’s quiet at night and I’d not be happy having the pump inside the van in case of a diesel leak.

Steaming good work.

Enjoyed that. Our 2011 Motorhome had an eberspacher diesel heater fitted from new and it really is a great bit of kit.. once you get used to the aircraft take off noise on startup 😂. Our heater is fitted outside the vehicle (under the floor) and is virtually identical to yours. It has a metal open ended "U" shaped cover over it . During your research did you find any others that were fitted outside the vehicle ? I also found out that ours is not drilled into the diesel tank but is T,d into the diesel supply pipe under the bonnet. Which seems to work OK.. but once after a long stopover .. I nearly drained the tank ! I am sure you know that diesel heating is so much more convenient and you will save money on gas. Thanks for the video and safe travels 🚐

More chewed up wood than a beavers playpen! Fine effort indeed. Cost difference between a ‘quality’ kit and the Chinese offering?

Good job , as a light sleeper I couldn't live with the pump clicking all night , tried a supposedly quieter pump but no different really. I have now installed a silent pump , purchased from a genius by the name of James Browning-Smith, and it's so quiet I have it under my pillow (not really) but it is silent. It also features a altitude correction adjuster.

I think I would put pump outside as they are noisy.

😊

Love Fieldview too😊

I was using a great big jcb 3.7kw generator it was talking a fortune in petrol it had a 15lr capacity it would cost a fortune but now i have this its great 1200watts charges my van battery and powers my Starlink and tv and electric battery no problem at all

I have one it works well it works well for 200 pounds you get a lot for your money

Bless ❤❤❤ 😅😅xx

Enjoyed the vlog😊
