How to Swap your buddy heater fan. It runs on 12v! Almost gave up.

This is a saga of trying to connect an external 6v battery, from my kids jeep, on my buddy heater fan. I discovered my motor had failed! I needed to make a princess auto run and got parts to make it work!

[@joshfishing]

Thank you, it would be cool to try on the flex.

That's really neat! It's nice to have a fan to blow the heat when the original one stops working, thanks for the video

[@joshfishing]

Thank you for watching

Thanks for the shout out man. I also have been looking at doing a 12 v conversion. Good vid and informative. I subbed as well

[@joshfishing]

You will let me know how it goes if you convert it. Thank you.

What do you think of using the heat from the heater to drive a thermoelectric generator that can power the internal fan? This would be analogous to using a wood stove fan on top of the heater.

[@joshfishing]

Wow! I didn’t even think of that. I did a quick search on it and I should have tried that route for sure, it would have been around the same price to get the plate and motor. Thanks for your idea, it might have to be my next upgrade

[@joshfishing]

I couldn’t stop thinking about your suggestion so I made video inspired by your comment! th-cam.com/video/1odaOa4trZg/w-d-xo.html thank you!

I'm currently using that exact thing, it works great. My big buddy heater doesn't have batteries or electric fan
