    Hi again when we lived aboard a narrow boat we had a new webastoe diesel heater installed which had a self clean cycle to decarbonise the burner.

    Looks like your exhaust has filled with water (condensation), check underneath, the exhaust should run on a constant slope downwards, if you see a low/sagging length, push it upwards to expel excess fluid from exhaust. Great vlogs btw.

    Well done and great driving Carol! ❤ Another fascinating wee tour around SW Scotland before you are heading south again. I hope the diesel heater, gets sorted. At a pinch when cold weather, you can always light the stove top for a few minutes - slip in a hot chocolate (for medicinal purposes of course), quickly heats up inside, but also generates condensation (reality). I decided to install an electrical wall panel heater, at this time can only use when hooked up to mains/generator power. Will get looped into engine, so can run whilst driving, to have warm compartment on arrival, at some stage. Take care & stay safe. Kia Ora from New Zealand. 💜💜

As you are SO much concentrating on what you're doing so easy to tense up!

    Hi I fitted a hand brake extender produced by Rare Spares, found on Amazon. It does take a bit of getting use to. I run Peugeot Boxer Motorhome which is fitted with a 2 second delay on the hand brake mechanism, this helps with hill starts. Check if your van does the same. I was in fact using the hand brake when I didn’t need to! Hope this helps

    Well done Carol, it can’t have been easy driving a van that you aren’t used to whilst being filmed.
    I know your diesel heater will probably be different to the normal blown air heaters but it wouldn’t surprise me if the burners behave very similar. When used for long periods on low they can get a soot build up in the burn chamber. I have found running on full for a while helps clear the soot.

    • @LifeistooshortCK

      The shower works fine but we don’t use it much as we conserve water to remain off grid. We have a 100 litre fresh tank. We seem to have settled into a routine of spending one night a week on a CL site. When we arrive we refill the water and use the shower as if we are at home. The rest of the week we just flannel wash. The shower is tight but very useable and the diesel heater produces plenty of hot water for two good long showers.

    Lovely scenery! I’d love to be better set up for more off grid motorhoming. I wish I understood electrics better. I’m very tempted to buy a power bank and really like the way you’ve got ours integrated into the van as you have! Would you recommend Jackery?
    We’ve had a handbrake extender on all three vans we’ve had over 17 years of motor homing, including for the last ten years on our Fiat Ducato. We wouldn’t be without it as it helps enable you to keep your eyes on the road much more easily as you’re setting off at junctions etc! I’d definitely recommend your getting one. We wouldn’t be without ours! You’ll get used to the van! It’s lovely to have the extra space I’m sure?! Happy travels! Anna & Anne

    • @LifeistooshortCK
      @LifeistooshortCK  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      For off grid I recommend a lithium leisure battery, as much solar as you can get on the roof and a good battery to battery charger so your engine charges the battery. It’s not cheap but the investment soon repays itself in the campsite fee savings. Before you do any of that though try wild camping and see if you enjoy it. 👍

    Another great film! The A712 Queens Way is one of my favourite drives in Scotland, so much to see on route, Goats, Red Deer, Clateringshaws Loch. Raiders Road is wonderful especially Otter Pools. Love your channel, always look forward to new episodes.

      The Raiders Road is still shut in May! Missed it again. No deer at the feeding point either 🤷

    We brought our fiat Ducati and it was fitted with a handbrake extension. Saves a lot of leaning over and down.

    Great video, was thinking about a Truma combined water/heater, however quite a few youtubers seem to have problems with them. Looking forward to next video and glad you liked the Haggis :-) J

    Lots of stuff on t'internet about Trauma, sorry Truma, diesel heaters being PITAs.
    My Autoterm diesel heater is a belter. You are reminded by the digital display to run it on high for 20 minutes every now and then.
    I had it fitted at their place near Wrexham. First rate service.

    • @LifeistooshortCK
      @LifeistooshortCK  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That reminder is very useful. I will be giving ours a good run every now and then 👍

    Hi Ken hope you sort the heater problem. Looks like exhaust outlet higher than the boiler or a bend trapping condensation in the pipe creating that steam causing boiler to shut down exhaust s normally face down . Could be wrong but worth a look.
