    I would recommend having the exhaust extended to run somewhere outside of the camper walls. Carbon dioxide and monoxide are both colorless and odorless, not worth risking yours, your friends or your families life

      I'd go one step more and have the whole heater outside in a waterproof housing and just run warm air duct into the space you want to heat. Gaskets inside the heater can fail and leak co inside...very dangerous in small spaces.

      Agree with the carbon monoxide issue, also, make sure the exhaust hole is sealed with a flame proof foam

    • @jamesmiler36
      @jamesmiler36 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Definitely need about three more foot of exhaust pipe .,. The way you have it mounted a light breeze will trap the exhaust right in that steel box you have.... If it's just you all right but if you have kids yeah that's not going to fly ;!!!!!

      I think I'd be a little concerned about the air intake. Traveling in the rain and snow you may have a little trouble with that. Without really looking at what you have, I don't know how I would change it.

    Idea for the exhaust. Get rid of the worthless muffler and drill a hole in the side skirt just big enough for the exhaust pipe to go through. Then it goes to the open air.

    Thanks for the video. You have a great voice for doing videos and the content is very helpful for me. I will be installing my first Diesel Heater in my motorhome as backup heating. There are very few videos explaining how they are installed. A suggestion if you will allow me is to become more conscious of what the camera is actually seeing, how the area is lit and how to be less jarring when you move the camera. I know that's annoying stuff to learn and keep track of at first but it will help with your viewers. I suspect you are going to be popular. Good luck.

    Hi Brad, I agreed with you and bought and received a HCalory one, the latest design in grey. I wanted to add a fuel filter, so opened it up to see that it already had one. However, a fuel filter is meant to protect the pump, but they installed it between pump and burner, not only that but the installed it back to front. The outlet should be at the top, it was at the bottom. They attached the pump so high with the outlet touching the top of the casing that the bend of the hose to come down completely closed up the hose. The tank should be higher than the pump to gravity feed fuel to the pump, but the pump was quite a bit higher than the tank's outlet. I wrote to HCalory and the eBay supplier wanting my money back. However, the problem is, I can order another portable one, even from another brand (same factory?) and it will be exactly the same. Several people also have promoted these heaters, but I doubt taht any of them ever opened one to find all these problems.

    I agree with burntmoney! That exhaust needs vented outside and not under the vehicle. Where have it, it will get clogged up with water, dirt, snow, etc. That’s a big problem! I also recommend shortening the fuel lines and adding a filter. That pump is working to hard and it will last longer and fire up quicker.

    Why not put intake from inside the vehicle to make sure it doesn't intake from the exhaust? They just look very close.
    Also, my floor is wood. How hot does the exhaust get and should I drill larger and pack with a non combustable?

    • @m4ttj00

      The exhaust temps get very hot. If you’re going through wood, you’ll want a large air gap. The correct and safe way to install these in a car is with a turret style mounting plate.

    @offgridgesertdwellers ปีที่แล้ว

    Brad,
    What if you didn't run the pipe that brings in the (to be heated) air through the floor, let it open to the room instead. That way, the air being pulled in would already be warmed. Wouldn't that work?

    • @nomadbrad503
      @nomadbrad503  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That’s not how it works. That pipe you speak of is not “air to be heated” it is only for the combustion process.
      The fresh air intake must come from outside the vehicle. If you take air from your living space and exhaust it outside the vehicle you are creating a vacuum which is not good.

    You don't want your exhaust anywhere near your air intake hose. You'll just be sucking exhaust back into your heater and it won't have enough oxygen to burn properly. Looking at your wooden floor cutout, it looks like you will be a little close to that wood and could cause a fire so I'd keep an eye on that!

    Instead of attaching the fuel line to the tank inside that box, could you simply plug the fuel line into the nipple on a promasters main tank connector between the two seats? Android diesel directly from the promasters main tank. Any thoughts. Between the driver seat and the passenger seat on a promaster there is a box in the floor and inside that box there is an auxiliary nipple that you can connect a bundy tap. Its how you install a webasto directly to the main diesel tank.

      @@mannys4036 The problem as I understand it is the bottom of the heater needs to be sealed off from the inside so if for some reason the exhaust leaks it will be on the outside of the truck. The all in one heaters should be outside and the hot air ducted to the inside. You don't have diesel fuel inside either but each to their own.

      @@vanman3752 I appreciate your explanation and I agree. If I were installing one it would be outside and would duct the hot air inside. It's all a personal preference concerning location. Thank you

    Just throw the instructions away. It will only confuse and take up valuable time.
