I'm just starting this install myself. It's great to see how it should be done. Selina and JP will be delighted with your instructions. Looking forward to part 2.
Thanks Niall! Hope it helps a bit, I tried my best to install it how it should be done, we will see what the guys from JP say, it works so it can't be that bad! 😂
It's finally JP Combi Install timee!! Any questions let us know in the comments, more parts coming soon! Can we get this to beat our last JP Heater video? 100 likes will do it ! Lets goo💙👍🚍
You should shorten the pipe a little to ensure your diesel heater can never use all your fuel and leave you stranded. So shortening it by another 5cm will make sure you’ve always got enough to drive to a refuel. My heater (identical) uses about 0.5 litres/hour running flat out.
its 4cm from the bottom of the tank, that should leave enough to drive right? I guess shortening it more is a bit safer to have more range just in case
Very nice vid! I have this installed and am currently up in a ski field in Spain, works great at keeping the van toasty in sub freezing temps and is really efficient on fuel. My only issue with it is the noise it produces but I think it’s the same for most heaters.
Awesome glad to hear you have up and running and its preforming well! The pump is really loud but as ours is under the van when the doors are closed we can't really hear it. The heater itself isn't too bad on lower fan speed, we are hoping once the heater itself is boxed in we won't hear it as much.
Great build vids I’m converting a L4H2 Boxer installing victron kit with a roamer 460 and seriously considering a jp so lots of parallels in our builds. I feel really lucky to have you guys as a resource. Wondering if you can hear the pump from inside? Btw also liked your CAK tank vid. Cheers guys
Thanks James! Good Luck with your build! We have the JP pump outside the van, you can hear it but its really quiet, you can hear the heater itself more. Thanks!!
Some good informative videos.. I have a similar Victron setup and JP heater ready to go in my van.. slowly getting to that stage.. what size screws did you order for the exhaust? I’m away at the moment and its my job for when i get back.. thanks
Great video, thanks for this, can you put a new link of the ebay filler pipe as that lini doesn't work anymore, or an item number if possible please. Thanks and now subbed to your channel 👍
Hi! We tested it a few times had no issues with it at all, preforms great. We are still building the van so haven't tested it rigorously but no concerns so far.
@@CasLaz We're actually just starting our second build - unfortunately our last got stolen shortly after completion. Found your channel recently as our second build is also a Relay/ Ducato chassis and there are SO many coincidences between our systems. I.E also using Roamer, also using JP heater. You're doing a fab job so far. Would love to have a chat with you about a couple of things. Looking for a place to send you an email now.
@Connor Thomas Ah man im sorry to hear that, it would be really painful if ours got stolen after completion, so much work goes into it I'd be heartbroken! Good luck with the new conversion I hope it goes well, sounds like it's going to be a great build with JP + Roamer gear 😁 Hit me on instagram DMs, happy to chat properly there instead of emails. instagram - casandlaz
Hey Laz! I'm doing exactly the same for my JP. Are you not concerned about the fuel line freezing being under the van? Diesel can freeze at 0C I might run it inside but woul prefer it outside.
Hi Jason, I'm not that concerned but might be a good idea to insulate the pipe underneath. From my understanding there are different blends of diesel that fuel companies release and winter diesel shouldn't freeze until around -15c Also on a side note flowing liquid wont freeze until much lower temperatures so if its extreme cold keeping the heater constantly running is a good way to make sure it wont freeze up I guess.
@@CasLaz Thanks for the reply! Insulating with some pipe / foam insulation around the conduit might be a good shout. I'm on the fence, I'd like it on the outside so I don't hear the pump and for neatness but yeah would hate to find myself in a situation where it's all frozen up... Food for thought - thanks for the reply
I think its unlikely it'll freeze up as when its that cold we'll have the heater always running. When it gets that cold I'd be more worried about water tanks / pipes freezing up to be honest 😅
Is it just a copy of the Truma because the plastic mouldings look exactly the same? Bang out of order by the manufacture but cant blame you if its half price! Hopefully they've also copied everything that makes the Truma meet EU/UK safety standards especially given its burning diesel inside the van.
Hi Rob, Yeah the unit seems pretty much identical to the Truma D6E looks and functionality wise, if the Truma was fairly priced around £1500 same as the gas (4e) version we would have gone with that, even tough that's still very expensive. It's CE certified and people been using this heater for years in different countries without issues, recently it started picking up popularity in the UK too. We'll indeed install carbon monoxide alarm and keep a fire extinguisher ready just incase 😂(we'd do that with a truma too anyway) Thanks for watching!
@@CasLaz Cant see enough info on the CE certificate to see if its valid, its the size of the postage stamp lol Sometimes china manufactures use what's called a China Equipment mark which looks like a CE mark ;-) The EC test is the correct number for consumer goods but automotive is more complex. That said, there's been other guinea pigs and you've got a detector :-)
@@IanMarvin Sure, most businesses do if they're manufacturing on scale, but that doesn't mean to say its OK for the IP to be ripped off. Unless the copy is licenced which this company repeatedly refuse to answer! I design technology and more than a few times a businesses have suffered because the IP has been ripped off. To be clear, what this means is that the company isn't as profitable and in a couple of cases made people redundant. On the flip side those businesses do not manufacture in China anymore. Just to reiterate; nothing against anyone buying these if they're on a budget but just as its good to buy fair trade produce and take into account the impact one has on the environment, if you can afford to do so, its also worth thinking about that UK/Euro/US manufacturing company taking a hit because someone in China decided it was OK to copy R&D which costs and can take significant time to payback! Its all fun and games until its you who is out of a job. Ultimately we in the west have become far to reliant on outsourcing manufacture.

Fantastic jon Laz as always.. another hole on the van!!! Yay!!! You are so brave and clever. Love the development.

Great video great help to thanks
Another great video , great to see you back on it
Thanks Richard! Good to be back! how is your hand recovering? Excited to see you get back to converting yours!
@@CasLaz yeah defo good to be on it again ,Sam n Lisa and ourselves have just booked to go camp quirky if your up for it ?
You can use a solar cable entry box for seal the inlet power and diesel from the pump.
Ah good idea thanks for the tip, will consider that as an option!

Yay Cas is back! A sorry won’t do it for us! Ha ha we missed you xxx
Whoop whoop !
Great job
Standard electrical heat shrink is a great way to finish conduit
Great idea ! Thanks!!
Looks good, wow hot air looks good. Your lucky your able to get to your fuel tank without taking it out. If only iveco built their van like that lol
Ah yes made the diesel tap way less stressful that's for sure!
Some good informative videos.. I have a similar Victron setup and JP heater ready to go in my van.. slowly getting to that stage.. what size screws did you order for the exhaust? I’m away at the moment and its my job for when i get back.. thanks
Awesome hope your conversion is coming along well! Sorry I don't remember and I can't find the order on ebay / amazon :(
Great video, thanks for this, can you put a new link of the ebay filler pipe as that lini doesn't work anymore, or an item number if possible please. Thanks and now subbed to your channel 👍
Hi, I put a new link in, it looks pretty much the same as what I bought. Hope it helps. Thanks!
How you getting on with the heater a year later?
I'm curious to know also 🙂
How did you buy your Combi ? I’m in the states and can’t seem to find one sold in the states?!
Hi, there is a link in the description for where we bought it from, hope it helps!
Is thing lasting okay for you? Would love to know you experience now you've had it a while!

@@CasLaz yeah that's fair enough - I think for us there could be times it's sat not flowing so I might need to insulate it or put it on the inside
Just a quick follow up question, what size 12V cable did you run? I'm seeing here its up to 5A when on 12V ?
