Thank you for making and explaining very well how to install a diesel heater. I received mine in the mail over two weeks ago.. And still trying to decide where to put it in my skoolie. I know that I'll be watching your video many more times after this. Thank you again.
Hey that video was so very well put together bud. Well explained. Thank you matie. And hello from England 🇦🇽🇩🇰🏴 And you got me😜 I’m now a subscriber 😁
Good stuff great to hear. I sold my caravan but far as i know this still going well. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching really appreciate it 👍🍻
You should add "how to install the plug into the fuel tank" and you'd double your views. 👍 very informative but that one trick with the wire was worth the thumbs up from me.
Hello from the high desert of New Mexico USA 🇺🇸. I have been installing and repairing diesel air heaters for over 20 years now and I think you did a good job. One point I would like to make is that the fuel pump should be mounted between 15 and 45 degrees and the fuel line must be pushed all the way up against the nipple of the fuel pump, filter, heater and tank fitting. Also try and get any sharp bends out of the intake and exhaust tubing. I hope this helps you out. Keep up the good work and stay safe and God bless you and your family
Thanks for your comment and advice this was my first install and it has performed great . Thanks for your kind words and may your passage through life be a safe one . Cheers 👍🍻
Thanks. Glad you found the video helpful. This cheap diesel heater has been great and has not missed a beat in 3 years . Good luck with your installation and Thanks for watching 👍🍻
Fabulous and very informative video. Ordered mine today looking forward to the install thanks to your great and detailed information. Thanks mate very much appreciated
This is a really good video covering the install of these types of heaters. So many miss the important parts about pump angle, exhaust clearance, drain hole (heck that was new to me, have to go look at mine now), lots of other stuff... Most of these kits come with one page of instruction and while not really difficult you can save a lot of time learning from another persons experience. You certainly deserve more views for your efforts.
I have installed a few now on vans, boats and my house. The tanks I paint with two pack paint (black) but put a strip of tape down the middle or edge to make a fuel window. Two summers and no degradation while my one unpainted tank is starting to suffer a bit with bleached cap and yellowed plastic from just a few hours of sun a day.
My tank end up leaking at the seam about 18 months after the install so I just used a 5 litre fuel can and does the job . Thanks for sharing and thanks for watching 👍🍻
Thank you . Appreciate the comment and your subscription as it means a lot to me . People like you inspire me to create more videos. Thanks for watching 👍🍻
To be honest I never thought of that. It would be like the heater in your car if you have the intake selected or recirculate (inside air like you suggested) . Maybe you would get a buildup of humidity inside the cabin. I guess you could try but would mean you need to put another hole in your heated area. Maybe try to google it . Thanks for watching 👍🍻
Looks good. But why not keep the intake inside the van? That way the heater doesn't have to work as hard to get the temperature high, especially in winter where the temperature differences can be extreme?
I installed this over 2 years ago going on installs i have seen and never really thought about it at the time. This heater does not struggle heating up a 17 ft caravan thats for sure . They get really hot . Thanks for watching 👍🍻
Hi - great video, very useful. Its been a year now since installation, have you had any problems? Seems a fantastic piece of kits for the price, the whole thing is cheaper than alot of the parts for the Eberspacher to which mine has problems. Well done.... regards Andy.
I sold my caravan 4 months ago now . Absolutely have not had any problems with this heater at all. Was talking to the buyer of my van and he said it’s been great. I always ran the heater on high power for 10 minutes b4 switching off and when not in use for a long period of time I pulled out the fuse so there was no power to the control screen as I have heard they fail . Was the best $180 I ever spent(price at the time) that’s for sure 👍🍻
No one shows how to attach muffler to exhaust pipe. Both muffler and exhaust have the same size pipe. My kit didn't come with a junction piece and i haven't seen other kits with one either so how do they connect. The pipes butt up to one another. They have the same circumference.
When both the muffler and exhaust pipe have the same diameter, you usually need a coupler or exhaust clamp that can join them together securely. If your kit didn’t include one, you can find universal exhaust couplers or clamps at most auto parts stores. These are designed to fit over the ends of both pipes and tighten down to create a seal. hope this helps and thanks for watching 👍🍻
It’s your personal choice I used the outside air . These heaters get really hot once they get up and running . It’s like a heater in your car .you use fresh air intake or you use recirculating air (inside air intake) . Thanks for watching 👍🍻
worried about vent position as could roll over and move doona cover over it, blocking a vent is a huge no no, would have been bettwe to get more tubing and run out end of bed base into main van at floor level
does not need 100 to 150ml clearance, either side, 20 ml is sufficient, but draws air through back of heater to blow out into van, he has near enclosed in box under bed, so where is the air coming from to blow into van, again needs 75ml hose from suction end of heater into actual van or at least vents into box under bed for air draw, as system is a flow through heater, air vent under van is only for combustion chamber
Sorry at 25:18 is all I shown . Just don’t run pump dry for too long as the pump relies on the fuel as lubricant. I got another video perhaps check that out here th-cam.com/video/aY3la7txqO0/w-d-xo.html thanks for watching 👍🍻
How many times do you have to say the word guys! and under your bed, dont know about that mate, rather have something hot on top of me lol, good video though guys 😁
That was a concern to me but Heater been installed 2 years now and all been well. There was no other option without squashing the wires..Thanks for watching 👍🍻

Great explanations.
Can you mount the inlet air inside the cabin so it uses the vans air rather than outside air.
To be honest I never thought of that. It would be like the heater in your car if you have the intake selected or recirculate (inside air like you suggested) . Maybe you would get a buildup of humidity inside the cabin. I guess you could try but would mean you need to put another hole in your heated area. Maybe try to google it . Thanks for watching 👍🍻

@@EFFICIENTSELF so all good after 2 years, that's remarkable. But then again here down under most don't go camping until it warms up a bit hey.
Depends on where bouts you live I guess . In qld we try to avoid camping December and January as it’s so hot . 😀
@@EFFICIENTSELF here in the south we try to avoid camping in winter May to September. 😔
I hear ya on that as I’m originally from Goulburn nsw and it was freezing in winter 🥶
Good idea to put sealant under the plate before screwing it down to stop any leaks.
Absolutely. It was sealed off camera and my bad for not mentioning or pointing that out . Thanks for watching 👍🍻
Top video that explained everything. This bloke knows his shit
Thanks very much . Appreciate it. Im glad this video helped you out. Thanks for watching 👍🍻

Hi what size AWG cable did you use
Thanks
I used 6mm twin core cable to the battery on its own fuse 15amp. Thanks for watching 👍🍻
@@EFFICIENTSELF thank you
I'm installing one of these bad boys ATM, how hot does the bottom mounting plate get when operating? Could it melt the vinyl flooring?
I never had a problem. I did a video on the install review check my other video. Thanks for watching 👍🍻
Other videos I watched had the intake air hose inside the van so warm air was circulating inside the van and back into the heater.
It’s your personal choice I used the outside air . These heaters get really hot once they get up and running . It’s like a heater in your car .you use fresh air intake or you use recirculating air (inside air intake) . Thanks for watching 👍🍻
do not know why power wire has to go underneath when power is inside of van?
Easier to hide wire underneath
Should have used white pond liner to cover the tank so it reflects the sun and the diesel stays cooler
Yes I would of been better off . Thanks for watching 👍🍻
how's the heater aftrer 3 years, looking at getting one
Sorry can’t answer that one as i sold the caravan after the 2 year mark.. I have heard they are great though for the price. Thanks for watching 👍🍻
@@EFFICIENTSELF but did you get any decent use
Absolutely great . I would buy again for sure .
worried about vent position as could roll over and move doona cover over it, blocking a vent is a huge no no, would have been bettwe to get more tubing and run out end of bed base into main van at floor level
I don’t use while asleep
what happen when the fuel finish?
I guess it would stop. I never let it run out of fuel. Thanks for watching 👍🍻
noisy pump outside! good move! let me know if get rusty! thankns
Great video very explaining. Good tidy job. Thanks mate
Thank you ,my pleasure glad it helped out some way. Thanks for watching 👍🍻
It seems like when you lower the bed, that chocks air intake for the heater.
There is a sufficient gap at the top of the dividing panel i put in to intake air. Heater still going strong after 2 years 💪 thanks for watching 👍🍻
does not need 100 to 150ml clearance, either side, 20 ml is sufficient, but draws air through back of heater to blow out into van, he has near enclosed in box under bed, so where is the air coming from to blow into van, again needs 75ml hose from suction end of heater into actual van or at least vents into box under bed for air draw, as system is a flow through heater, air vent under van is only for combustion chamber
Has plenty of clearance for airflow at front of petition
as to priming system there are plenty of videos that tell you what buttons to press to prime system before turning on
For somebody that doesn’t do any videos buddy you seem to know it all. Hope you find what you looking for
I didn’t see you prime the pump. Did I miss it?
Sorry at 25:18 is all I shown . Just don’t run pump dry for too long as the pump relies on the fuel as lubricant. I got another video perhaps check that out here th-cam.com/video/aY3la7txqO0/w-d-xo.html thanks for watching 👍🍻
How many times do you have to say the word guys! and under your bed, dont know about that mate, rather have something hot on top of me lol, good video though guys 😁
😂 thanks for watching bud 👍🍻
There is no way I would put any wires through the mounting plate. That’s there for a reason. It gets HOT.
That was a concern to me but Heater been installed 2 years now and all been well. There was no other option without squashing the wires..Thanks for watching 👍🍻
EFFICIENTSELF . That is good news. I was worried that the wires would melt and cause a short. Thanx. Good luck.
Thank you . Take care 🤙👍🍻
does not know what he is doing, exhaust has to sit on side so any condensation can drip out the hole in edge, do not lay flat as he has shown
If you watch further on you will see this
