    Clever tank mount! My diesel heater made all the difference on our recent trip. I've had it for years but it proved itself priceless this last time out.

      Yes sir, it seemed to work well in that spot so far. No issues or complaints!
      It’s nice to take the chill out of the air for sure. Can’t beat the performance for the price.

    Well done, the heater is the best addition to any bus for winter camping, I have a similar one for 5 years behind my jump seat. The key fob is the best especially when you warm the bus up before you go to sleep and get under the blankets and press the button to shut down the heater without getting up, also when you wake up you can click the key fob and turn the heater on to warm the bus up before you get out of bed. Enjoy your first bus camp trip this weekend. I’ll be camping next weekend and it will be 15 degrees at night, love it.

      Oh I agree, the key fob is a life saver! Wish it had the app control but I’m ok with the fob.
      Camp trip went great. Hope you enjoy your trip!!

    I was wondering when this video was coming out! Great addition! Those CDH are super china when you start tearing down the cases haha but many light part make strong unit 🤣! Did I see you sold your trailer?

    • @VWJawbreaker
      @VWJawbreaker  15 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

      Honestly they are built pretty decent for what they are and the best $100 I could have spent.
      Yes I did sell it and too cheap according to many people. I wanted to pass on the savings to someone else since some of the items were sponsored.
      I wanted to keep it but the reality of me using it wasn’t worth it sitting around and only getting used like once a year. I’d rather see someone else use it and enjoy it.

      It is very solid underneath and yes I plan on spraying something under there to help any future issues. Although I’ve never had an issue down here and not coating vehicles but it definitely wouldn’t hurt!

    • @VWJawbreaker

      It doesn’t get as cold as up there but it gets down into the 30’s plus humidity and wind. I’ve seen it in the low 20’s when a big cold front moves in.
      This morning it was 45 and wind chill was around 40. It’s nice to take the chill out when camping.
