You are working a very good plan. Nice.
I'm a grandma who's been watching you on television for years! I don't have your lifestyle but I have learned a lot. Great tips Mike!
Thanks for watching!
Love the videos. I started watching when you and your girl were parked on the beach and someone ended up right next to you. My son and I watched and thought you had our bad luck. Lol. Glad too see you back.
put water remover for diesel also. diesels notorious for absorbing moisture outta the air. if u use the lid lock on that lid and its air tight make a small vent hole or the barrel will suck in when it gets hot. lost some red jerry cans can that. they expanded out and deformed bad.
Mike if the diesel
starts screwing up try blowing air through through the intake then the exhaust a couple times it will blow the carbon out. it worked foe me and works good again
Thanks for the tip. Thats a great idea
Mike love your channel and your sense of humor. Glad to see you're back making videos. Keep it up you could be a youtube star if you wanted.
Thanks! Will do!
Mike, if you have a cordless drill. You can use a transfer pump that works off the power of a drill. Just look to see if it's fuel safe.
It's my understanding those heaters are available in three sizes.
2,3 and 5 BTU's. I have the the 5 . It's new, never used and I wish I new you needed one.
Yes I've seen those and does seem like a good idea. I've got a 5k as well. Keeps the RV nice and warm all winter. :-)
Great diesel fuel storage system, Mike. 👍🏼
Please say a prayer for our loved ones and others in Tampa and St. Petersburg, Florida areas, and so many others in the path. 🙏🏽🥺
🙏🙏🙏❤🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏🙏
Sounds like a great plan.. I hate to be one of the people that you talked about, BUT, I love using my Wave 3 heater, as a little auxiliary heater, and or emergency heater. If power goes out. I would never use it when I’m sleeping. And I have monitors.
I love my diesel heaters. I have one in a van and another in a cargo trailer camper conversion. I used mine for the past three years and the only problem i had was once replaced the glowplug and once replaced the little control box inside the unit. Ive learned that if you buy them in the summer its so much cheaper . I found them as low as $60. So i bought two extra just to always have spare parts or even the whole unite i can swap if i need to in a pinch. The only complaint i have is. It doesnt turn on and off by a thermostat. But i found a company that makes a remote for it with a built in thermostat on/off. But that remote cost more then the heater lol
I haven't had a single one yet that doesn't have a thermostat that's strange. But you're smart buying extra! They're just too awesome of a way to heat to not use them and have replacements ready. Do they break down over time? Yes. But still very worth it.
@@LivingFree what i mean by thermostat is a on/off. These heaters dont shut off and on by themselves . They just go from low heat to high depending on the temp you set. Well it be nice if it shut off and back on. Theres a expensive remote that will do that but i forget the name of the company that makes it. Suxs to leave my place for a long time and have to either leave the heater on or leave it off
Just a suggestion Mike I would definitely get up on your roof and seal up all the joints, possibly seal the entire roof because when you moved it after sitting that long, I would imagine it’s probably gonna spring some leaks when the rain comes and the snow. The homestead is looking sweet have you looked into ordering some sand bags I think you could do a lot with them.. ✌️ peace out
Thanks for the advice. I resealed my entire roof 2 years ago, but I understand where you're coming from. It's rained several times downpour since moving and it's been ok.
Don’t oil that squeaky door! You don’t have a dog, and you want to be able to hear someone sneaking in while you’re sleeping. 💤
The aliens can walk through doors or walls because they have technology that makes it possible.
@@billbradley2480 A fact that most people forget.
Mike would be awake already! From the noise of breaking the deadbolt and lock!
Just oil it and set up a way to have all doors make a loud noise when they open.
You should put a faucet on it that Barrell raise it up with some center blocks or put it in its side but your going to need the other barrell I made one with a plastic barrell
to get rid of the soot - run your heater on high more often- nurn out the carbon/// replace the bearings and they will last for years. and have back up fuel pumps they do go bad
I have an ambulance rv. I have a diesel heater, butane heater and an electric chicken coop heater.
Place is looking better all the time Mike!
you are so right on choosing diesel as your main source of heat.
I put a.diesel heater in my Road trek, and it works great. I have noticed that diesel fuel tank gets, I would call it mold. I like to keep the fuels.fresh, by not buying too much. Fresh fuel means less mold.
Thanks for the comment. I've never noticed any mold on the tanks I've had over the years.
I used to get algeacide in my sailboats diesel tank, but can’t see big Mike having that problem in the high desert! Im assuming that’s what you’re talking about maybe???
What about biodiesel as fuel? Does that work and does it burn more efficiently?
Thank's Mike
Guess you talked me out of buying that buddy heater for my bedroom! I wasn't sure about it. I have woodstove in front of trailer but bedroom is on opposite end of house. For now i will use my electric heater, my bill was horrible last winter
Going to buy a cord of mixed firewood this sunday though❤❤❤❤😊
You'd be happier with a diesel heater and wood as a backup. But do as you think fits you! :-)
Good ideas. Thank you.
I love these videos! I was just thinking about this today. I remember watching you and Eric trying to use different heating methods back when the nomad channels were relatively new and the Buddy Heater was the go-to option, followed by the Wave. These diesel heaters seem to have solved the problem. I've got a trailer that I'd like to heat in Canada, any other thoughts on winterizing in addition to the heater? Would love to see those videos too. - Thanks Mike.
Yes I have another thought. It's become pretty popular for people to birm the bottom of their trailers. Depending on the weather in the area I don't agree with it. I think it traps the cold in the bottom and makes a haven for critters.
@@LivingFreeman speaking of game changer have you seen the china 12v/24v mini split and roof top AC units for around $500? I picked up a 24v mini split last winter just because i found it on sale during winter for $200. I loved that thing all summer with just 600w of solar and still charged the batteries at the same time the AC was running . Now that was a game changer in a cargo camp trailer ❤
Mike, why not mount the barrel on a stand and use gravity to draw fuel out. You could even have a hose long enough to reach the on board tank. No pumps no cost.
Excellent 👍
I wouldn't put any WD-40 on your door for various security reasons. The squeak is an excellent free early warning system. Better safe than sorry.
There heating the dogs , there heating the cats …in CHiNa 😂
You will be able to get it in the future... it might be a pain in the rear to get but younwill get it
Hey brother Mike happy for ya my friend.👊🙏
Great info , wisdom and knowledge my friend 👊🙏
I wood cut some sticks now for a back up .
I saw what you did there haha.
@@LivingFree😂
"I haven't died yet from CO, but if I do, I'll be sure and let ya know that you were right"😅
Pretty much!
Howdy Mike go ahead and oil the door thank you do you have a big dog it's you
Much obliged
Get a cheap inline electric fuel pump at auto zone. They run on 12 volts, under $15, no labor involved. Woooo!!!
To keep my diesel heater clean i use 2 cups of kerosene to one tank of fuel, burns cleaner. Also run on high before shutdown . Most troubles come from them running on low.
Lots of ppl using them. Should always have a plan B too. 🙂👍
Absolutely
I'm sure you already know, but make sure your getting the off road diesel. Its dyed red so you do not need to pay road tax. Saves a few bucks. Peace.
I just get what's available in town, #2 Diesel. But I sure do appreciate the tip.
great tip
In the war in U.K. they couldn’t get diesel but the farmers could. So they would buy tractor diesel and run it through bread to take out the dye, then They would sell it for cars. Just thought you would like and interesting fact lol.
I wanna make your "MADE IN CHINA" as my ring tone. 🤣🤣👏👏🙌👋WOOO!
HAHA
He could download for sale several of his vocals 🫣
Always finding value from your video's. Now, let's talk about this hurricane heading my way. I am currently in GA....was suppose to be heading to FL....I think I'll wait!
That gives new meaning to the "dead land" I'm living in. Hurricanes ever year heading all over that area. Bugs like crazy, humidity. I'm glad I am where I am. :-)
@@LivingFree Wish I were there but unexpected medical for my only granddaughter! However, once all done we are traveling together. She is 24, hopefully will be cancer free and we will be freebirds!
Sometimes i like to run mine on full blast for i while just to help clean the thing out a bit. I do that alot at the end of winter when i think its about the last time ill use it for the season. But boy does my trailer/van get hot in there when i do that
I do the same.
Here.😊
Thank you!
I remember when diesel was like .19¢ per gallon and white gas "unleaded" was .52¢ a gallon and for some reason the most unrefined fuel "diesel" became popular. Then all of sudden the most unrefined fuel in history jumped in price.
Thanks president Carter.
Just imagine what Commie La would do $$$$
I was a Truck driver 26 years and I’ve been retired for 5 years. I remember cheap diesel too. It’s very cheap to refine. Diesel was always 50 cents a gallon cheaper than gasoline. Then they started removing sulfur from diesel and raised the price by $1/gallon. Ridiculous
Be sure to buy off road diesel, i.e. no road tax.
Just wondering, do the 12 volt heaters do anything? Or are they junk???
Shouldn’t the barrel be in a shed? Can the sun heat it up too much?
Also you need to start chopping and drying the wood? Doesn’t it take a year to be dry enough?
I’m just an old lady in a high rise so what do I know? 😂😂
I was thinking the same and I'm an old lady living in a rv👍
That's called seasoning timber. Did it for many years, I would process the tree I cut down and chopped up a bit the year before. And keeping the barrel out in the sun helps it warm in winter sun.
@@LivingFreeyup seasoning but can the diesel explode?💁🏻♀️
Farmers around the world store diesel in metal tanks outdoors and they never explode. They’re usually elevated tanks so diesel easily flows into farm equipment.
@@billbradley2480I actually figured that must be true because Mike would know.
Backup is essential.
Man you're still around remember when you come visit me at rabbit's side You want to stay there Hope you're doing good brother.
Can you buy farm diesel? It’s much cheaper. My brother has a tank of it on the farm. He uses it in his ford truck and tractors.
He hardly ever takes the time to answer questions.
@@CarrieJo5916 true.
I’m not sure but you maybe need to put a vent in the lid of your drum in case that drum heats up from being in the sun. Best to be safe than sorry. 🤷🏼♂️
Summer I'll put something over it. Winter, sun will help keep it warmer.
mike u could just have the diesel heater gravity feed off the drum with fuel pump and move it closer and behind the rv. just saying
and try a diesel clean too so you dont have to replace the heater every year
I've thought of that many times. But whats this diesel clean you're talking about? :-)
looking good
What's the minimum you can get delivered? And, what's your current price for diesel? I hear all fuels are more expensive out there.
I dont think you need stabilizer in diesel. On our farm equipment it stays in it for months over the winter and it works fine in the spring. Probably just a waste of money.
What brand diesel heater do you like?
😎
Mike how are you dealing with your black tank. I'm only asking, because I would like to pursue that lifestyle.
Compost commode I think 🤔
@@sharonholmes2470 Sharon Peters. I guess that would work.
Where you get ur heater?
Amazon
Where does the exhaust from the diesel heater go?
I believe I explained that. But it goes back outside as exhaust should :-).
@@LivingFree I'm so sorry. I must've missed it. Thank you.
What everyone one else says 😆😉😊 ☮️ 👍
Buy a old 300 or 500 diesel tank and buy bulk off-road diesel much cheaper. It just died and can’t be used on roads to put in your car.or truck
Farm trucks can use off road diesel in their vehicles.
5:07 🤦♀️🤷🏼♀️ Are you waiting to die before you learn your lesson?
A lot do, unfortunately. It's like talking to a wall with most of them. They know better cause they've seen others do it. So it must be safe! pfff
👍 Cool Kool Kewl 🤛
THIS IS THE WAY.....lol
YET YOU RUN YOUR PROPANE OVEN AND STOVE and i guess they dont produce carbon monoxide? ive used little buddy in astro van with two large dogs and never had a monoxide problem in 10 years. they much safer than you making them out to be. but the moisture sucks 1 gallon of lp = 1 gallon water vapor
🚨Nice loving prayers for you Mike 🫵 in Jesus name ✝️☝️💯😎❤️🙏🏻🤗 👀🔜 💯
made where, lol
Is that CHINESE!
well hello, lol
Tell that to the whole in your roof.
Tell what? And do you mean "hole"?
rofl
CHINA! 😂
That door could save your life. Lol 😆 stay safe
