Love the build, nicely done. My Son did something very similar to serve him as a traveling Lab Scientist, which is a thing! Your CDH installation is perfect. He opted for the 4port heat vent and used silicone heat duct to move the heat to 4zone vents inside the trailer. He also has an awning room that he can use if he boon docks the trailer in between jobs. A great way to see the Country. He routed one vent so he can have heat in the tent/room. He says it takes the edge off, but added a stand alone additional heater if he boondocks in snow weather. I told him he should make a video similar to yours on his own trailer build. Stay safe and warm!
Hi @straightarrow5518, thank you for your great comment, its always interesting to hear what others have done with their builds. I have seen the add on canvas tent rooms, that's a good way to add space when you need it. This 5kw heater is all we need in the 6'x12' cargo conversion camper. We have had the trailer out in cold down to 11 degrees Fahrenheit and were comfortable, the floor did get cold however.

"Forestry forest lives in a van" has a video about quieting the pump. He likes his quiet. An inventor sent him a quiet pump. Thumbs up to you for clean install. Let's us follow-up with real use review.

@@explorer867 I put the whole unit inside between the rear ramp and an insulated wall I built. I’ll have a video about it in my channel in the near future.
Hello Sir. You did a very nice and clean install. Give your muffler a little turn so that the pin hole in the middle of the seam faces downward. That's the condensation weep for the wet exhaust so that will want to drip occasionally. I've seen several people wrap the fuel pump with rubber pipe insulation and a few pipe clamps and I guess that really takes the ticking noise out of it. Best of luck. Take care!
Hi jasonphaneuf788, Thank you for your comments. I really appreciate your input. With regards to your comment on the diesel heater pump, I will give the pipe wrap a try. Having the pump outside the trailer in the box really helps but the tick, tick, tick still radiates through the aluminum trailer. The exhaust muffler I have turned sideways to keep it from hanging down where it would get caught on brush when we pull the cargo trailer camper into some remote boondocking spots. If it rusts out, I will replace it. Thank you for pointing this out, you are 100% correct. Others reading this will see your tip and install it as the directions call for.

If space allows, move the cold air return away from the warm air out put, to get more circulation. Also, consider wrapping the exhaust pipe with "header tape" sold at auto supply stores, until the very hot pipe clears the area where the plastic/rubber fuel supply line is. In other words heat insulate the exhaust pipe for the first 6 inches where it exits the heater unit.
Hi Theseattlescott, Thank you for watching and commenting on the video. I will go pickup some of the exhaust/header heat shield tape. Please Like, Subscribe, Ring the bell and let others know about our channel on your social media. Have a great day.
I use one of these units to heat the house, it runs all winter, so other than noise they are perfectly safe to run all night! but they do foul a bit more if left on low burn for too long, so before shut down I let it run full tilt for 30m and injector cleaner does healp
On mine I hung the pump from the fuel line only not using the supplied hanger find a way to support the fuel line in the correct angle for the pump you will find it gets rid of 90% of the noise
Here's a list of parts from Amazon: Vevor diesel heater 5kw Color tree 1" stainless steel exhaust pipe. This is the extra pipe needed to run out the side of trailer. Amerimax MW/NE/SE 2X3 Galvanized Drop Outlet (for gutters) This is what I used for heat baffle. Better Built 67011386 ATV Tool Box. Please like, subscribe, and let others know about our channel on your social media. Have a good week. This diesel heater build is only showing you what I chose to build for me. You will need to access your particular application and assume all risks involved with the application, build, and health risk.
The best option for pump noise is a better pump. There are plenty of options on amazon and ebay. A lot of people get quieter performance running harder fuel line from the pump to the heater as well.
Thank you for the suggestion! The fuel line I'm using is the hard line. I will look further into the quiet pumps. Please like, subscribe and let others know about our channel on your social media. Have a great day. 🤠
Nice install and great video. Clear, concise, good video quality and editing. Was going to mention the muffler orientation but I saw your previous response and I think I may have to do the same with mine-have been worrying it would be hanging too low. Like the aluminum shroud around the air intake, too. Question: why don’t you feel comfortable sleeping with it running? You’ve sealed the exhaust well and you’ve got the CO monitor. Thanks!
Hi s2pointoh, thank you for watching and leaving your comment. The air intake for the heater needs protection, so I made the shroud to cover it. If it gets damaged I will make another 🤠. When traveling down the two track roads the brush that's growing in the center tends to like to grab whatever it can under the trailer and the shroud mitigates this.

S2pointoh, on my first reply I didn't respond to your question as to why we don't sleep with the diesel heater on. I haven't ever had any problems with these heaters but I'm just over cautious. I will turn it on in the middle of the night as needed but try not to sleep with it on, that's just me🤠 I have one of these mounted in our Old 96er camper canopy, "video in play list below this video" and have used it for three years now with no problems. Thanks for asking.👍

Thanks for the video!!! Like the way that you are meticulous in your work! I am purchasing a diesel heater and was thinking of routing it opposite, meaning, heater outside to inside. I am installing two tongue boxes to which I want to install the heater, fuel tank, fuel filter, fuel pump and battery into the boxes then running the heater hose to the trailer. After working with these heaters what is your take, think this method would be feasible, any draw backs you can see? Thanks again!!!
Hi Darren, It sounds like you have a fun and rewarding project ahead. I like your diesel heater install concept and think it should work out well for you.

Diesel heat is dry heat. Now that said with two of us in the trailer overnight in freezing weather we will get some condensation on metal trailer components. The best way to deal with this is to partially open roof vent. Please like, subscribe, and let others know about our channel.🤠
Great video! I recently found out about the EZ hauler trailers and they seem to be very well built. I’m wanting to do something similar, I’m looking at a 6x10 or 6x12 like you have, I’m not not sure what size to go with. Buildout approximately how heavy is yours?

How long will these run on a marine battery?
Try a rubber mount for a Briggs motor. Use them between plate to box then mount pump with mount

You might help the pump noise by bolting a soft pine board to the side of the toolbox then mounting the pump to the board.
