    Hi Guys! Thanks for all your videos! I am very interested in a video about altitude adjustment. I have the same heater and am about to go up to altitude don’t want to get clogged up!

      I guess we will have to make a video about this process. But heres a quick run down... This will only work if you have the same remote/controller as us (which has three buttons on the bottom of it the look like this ( < enter > )
      First you have to unlock it:
      To unlock it you hold the Left button untill the screen starts flashing, then you hit the enter button untill you get to the screen that looks like this (- - - -)
      this is where you enter the unlock code which is 1688. To enter that, you have to hit either the < or > button to get to 1 then hit enter then < or > button to get to 6 hit enter ... until you get 1688!
      Once you've done that you can change the fuel to air ratios.
      I have a table that i follow but i dont know where i got it from. If you tell me what elevation you are at i can tell you the P/HZ values that i would set it to.
      But lets say your going to 6000 ft... I'd set the low P/HZ value to .8 and the high to 2.3. Leave the air RPM the same!

    Another solution I’ve seen was mounting the diesel tank under the front hood - I think that was on a sprinter though. Since I’m going to have propane for my stove, I am leaning towards a propane heater - 2 flammable elements in my van seem slightly more manageable than 3 😅. Any reason you chose diesel over propane? Is it less expensive to fuel or more efficient? Thanks! I’m really enjoying your build series! Happy travels!

      Propane heaters produce a decent amount of moisture which we didn't want and the Chinese diesel heater is way cheaper!

    I appreciate you sharing. :-) How did you decide where to install your diesel heater?

      We have seen other van’s with the heater located under the passenger seat and decided it was a good use of the space there and we wouldn’t have to find space for it in our cabinets 😊
