  • We listened to your comments asking for a more granular tutorial on how to install these popular heaters! We went more in depth with the wiring harness and gave more detail on the installation of everything on the under side of the van. If you already have confidence to move forward but just need a little extra info, check out our previous video for a less in depth approach

    Chris, this video is super helpful. You're a natural on-camera and as an instructor. Thanks, I have been gaining knowledge and working up the courage to do the install myself and your video pushed me over the threshold. I started my install! yay! One thing I noticed is you said you drill a 3" hole for the duct in the back of the seat base. I drilled a 2 5/8" hole (by measurement) and the piece fit perfectly. I imagine a 3" hole would not allow much margin for the three (3) screws. FWIW

    Excellent video, missed the part where you showed us EXACTLY where to put the template, we just eyeballed it and ended up with 3 extra holes. I will also add that the vent hole is no longer 3”, and you no longer need the quick connect at the fuel tank. We took your advice and trashed those connectors in favor of a simple butt splice, but we used lever nuts for that.

      @@FreedomVanGo Got it all together and it turned it on. Got "H1:Service" on my screen. I cut the power and turned it back on about 10 times in an hour (thinking it be the fuel needed to get primed) and got the same H1:Service every time. I am able to get the fan operating but it seems kinda weak. I feel like this is a simple programing thing or something super simple. I am just not seeing it. thanks in advance!!

    I was so overwhelmed 47:12 minutes ago! Thanks so much! Hey, I didn't see you use the mounting plate that I got in my kit. Also, I didn't get quick fuel connect and the tubing that you said not to use had a sticker on it that said "attach directly to fuel tap or use 5/16 fitting". Maybe because I have a 2022? I didn't see the muffler install either but I think I have that figured out. Thank you!

  • @tomschwind6064
    @tomschwind6064 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great information. Exceptional breakdown on the electrical. You didn't mention it but is the fuel pump able to be mounted horizontally? I though it needed a set +/- degree tilt.

    • @FreedomVanGo
      @FreedomVanGo  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It does need a set tilt. We do final adjustments before fire up on all of that. We mount everything then adjust final stepsn

    • @victordragano8863
      @victordragano8863 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Correct; Eberspacher calls for an optimum tilt angle of 15-35 degrees up for the output side (white tubing), so I went 25 to account +/- 10 degrees for possible inclined parking situations.

  • @shannond2875
    @shannond2875 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    This is hands down the best video on doing this. One question, when you unpacked everything there were two baggies attached to the fuel pump power line and mine has two baggies too. One baggie contains the fitting that you pinned up to connect up the fuel pump power but there is a second baggie with what looks to be a battery connection ring terminal, two different fuses and a fuse holder. Your video doesn't seem to address these parts. I have the main power line fused at my distribution panel but don't know what or if I need to do anything with the fuses in the second baggie. Any help would be appreciated

    • @FreedomVanGo
      @FreedomVanGo  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      You use that baggie for the power connections if you aren't going to a fuse box.
