The facial expressions alone are hilarious .The energy it took to keep up the perfomance is amazing .

Got it on DVD its also shown on Thats TV channel to.

Great Explain!! Concise and practice , iam gonna try.

'Wasn't it terrifying' 'No it wasn't!' 😅😅 You two make me laugh. Love it ❤ 👽 Have you two ever done a ghost hunt? That would make an awesome video!

Eventually ecu will fail I've fixed 100s of these

Have you taken the heater apart to see what this lack of cool air is doing to the internal plastic components? Pictures or a teardown video would be nice :) Also, another video with the outlet pointed down might be more interesting.

I can confirm your result. I have 2 Vevor heaters and 2 times the power switched off. They do smoke like hell (especially the air inlet for the engine), but they are both fine. I was pretty confused when I opened the cap to cool down the motherboard, because the motherboard wasn't warm at all... Thanks for the video! I thought I was just lucky, but apparantly it's just a myth. Now I don't have to freak out if the power switches off.

when you switch one of these heaters off without letting it go through the cool down cycle you are shotening the life of the electronic components on the heaters main board ie the electrolytic capacitors which are rated around 100 degrees c maximum , when you switch the heater off the fan stops and the temperature of the aluminium heater body can be way above the 100c and will dry out those capacitors.

What is the power output of your power supply 12v and how many amps

at 1:28 what are them 2 extra wires for looks like going into the heater ?

yeah i guess in this case the heater was all good, ive seen before tho the impeller look quite melted, it still ran fine but heat can go the wrong way back through the intake. alot has to do with how the exhaust is shaped, if it goes straight down, when you turn it off the residual heat will rise, kinda 'blowing back' hot air into the heater and possibly unburned diesel smoke too. The other thing is when in shutdown it might help burn off carbon deposits, especially black carbon, but youll still have to clear it out at some point so guess it aint really an issue. not sure on your exhaust setup but i guess yours goes up, allowing the heat and fuel vapour to leave like it normally would

I think what helps in your situation is the hot air outlet is pointing up, acting like a chimney. So when you kill the power there is a natural draft created pulling cool air into the heater. The control board inside it located near the cold air intake. If your hot air outlet was pointing down, then the hot air could start to create a draft out of the cold air intake past the control board and could cause the control board to get baked over time. I have seen videos of melted control boards, so it is a thing that can happen. If your air intake and outlet were on the same level then it would probably have very little draft and the control board would also be unhappy long term. I would expect the capacitors life expectancy to be diminished if they are regularly getting baked.

Really good review 👍

cheers, that video was the bomb 😅 😂🤣

Haha... Yes, I have killed the power to my heater several times, both on purpose and accidentally. The only time I had anything bad happen was once I was doing a waste oil burning experiment, I had the burner up to 271C and was using a secondary combustion air source. The fan stopped, but the combustion kept going and it melted the fan. The electronics, and everything else was fine. My situation was extreme as they normally shut down WAY before 270C, and when the fan stops, that normally cuts all combustion air. They take a long time to cool off, but nothing gets damaged. I'm saying all of this before watching your video, so I'll dot hat now. EDIT: Done watching. Well done. I to have done my fair share of myth busting. Funny thing though.... people who lie in their thumbnail and titles / people who are dramatic "DON"T DO THIS" "THIS COULD BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN" .... they get rewarded with a lot more views haha. A thumbnail with " $100 heater - 200% EFFICIENCY" gets you 800k views.

You should start a myth buster channel Steve LOL 😂

Thanks for clearing that up ya myth buster

Great video Steve. That thumbnail was AWESOME also.

These clips have made me want to watch this show 😂

How's she goin'? Neat test for the heater Steve. This heater sure is a handy thing eh. Thanks for this myth busting video! Take 'er easy!!

Great video mate myth totally busted 👍👍👍👍

thanks. remember to press a button to remove the dampening of the led screen.

All you need is a berry and funky mustache, and you'd be Jamie Hyneman :)

I thought that the rundown was just to clear the heater of unburnt fuel. Glad to know that my shed won't burn down if I was powerless at anytime though.

Thanks for sharing

Are you mad.. this is unbelievable.... I have 6 backup batteries.. 2 solar panels and a hamster on a wheel as a backup... What was the delivery.. a spare diesel heater from your Amazon wishlist lol .. good video mate ...

I don't understand what they meaning having a meltdown🤔, what about the ones fitted in trucks they just switch them on / off, but i dont have one so i don't know much about them

You should add on to this video. Stealth van camping portable toilet review, especially after having a curry. Combined with another video on stealth van camper roof fan , how effective are they? 😂

It was of the most brilliantly comedy series written

Hi I know this sounds silly but I have this place booked and I was just wondering if there is fruit options as fruit is a must for me on holiday. Is there a variety of fruit ?

Hi mate, do you mind me asking what room this was as I know there’s 3 choices economy double room, double room and the premium double room. Defo want a cave one but don’t know if it’s only a certain option which is the cave and the rest are like a normal hotel. Cheers 👍🏻

i was there in december, i loved it. Tip a bar man at the start of your trip a fiver. He will treat you like royalty for the rest of your stay. Leave a dollar on your bedsheet and you will get a lovely room with a surprise. Lunch there was 10/10 in bettys bar, breakfast is ok, dinner some nights was actually quite good. you can also get late dinner that closes at 12am. overall me and my gf rated this place a 8.7/10

The food looks OK... breakfast looks fine, cooked breakfast everyday is not good, so I'm fine with that. I take it fruit is available? Didn't see any. The staff are probably treated abysmal so maybe I'd ask if he was OK and maybe try and build up a rapport up over the days. Place looks fun... but yeah maybe a bit tired. Ive read about the dodgy showers, which must be annoying. You didn't show the gym, whys that? Can you book excursions there? Diving snorkeling etc?

Sympathies to Dave.😂 Was really nice to see the three of you hanging out and bantering.

LOL 😂. Great footage guys 👍

Thanks Steve

I was with my husband in this hotel in December and it was great and we are going back there in July

9:57 I’m with Big J - Mini T island near me, regularly has a car bumper left in it from the night before 😮

Pleased you found this lost footage and shared it Steve, been a good laugh 😃 👍

I do wish you would slip up-on the outtakes great camp guys have got a small request Steve JP living the dream wanted to reach a 1000 subs by Christmas he is currently on 979 can you give him a shout out and help him out he is a top guy like yourself thumbs up mate 👍👍👍👍

How's she goin'? The boys were whooping it up one night at the stealth camp in the woods. Talking this and bragging that and trashing each others goods. There was lots of booze and enough food to fill a hamper. But the last to drink to the stealth camp success, was Steve the Transit Camper. LOL Great video. Take 'er easy!!

it was a great night :)

great vlog

Hello Steve! Outtakes are always fun! 😂 PUDDING NOW! 😂

hello my friend
