There are quite a few channels of young (and some not so young) ladies experiencing this type of lifestyle. By and large, they are fearless in the projects they take on.
I hate to be that guy, but that is a fire hazard. The exhaust outlet gets very hot and is too close to your plywood subfloor. They make a "turret plate" (look on ebay) for exactly this situation. You'll have to drill a much bigger hole in your floor, but you won't set your van on fire that way!
_Hello! I came across your vlog about the diesel heater. Since I also install them for customers, may I make a few suggestions? I know it is a pain in the butt, but it might best if you pull the heater back up really quickly and cut the wood around the hole a bit larger; the exhaust does get hot. It might help go from the top and drop the line into any tank on the fuel tank next time. Those little square feet are really for tilting the tank to get more fuel usage from the tank. The pump will make noise, so the best course of action is hanging the pump; it will help cut down on the noise. You and your dad did a good job of installing your new heater. You will love it. I know I love mine, and so do my customers. If you have any questions, please ask._
I learned sooooo much from my dad working with him in the garage! Miss him sooooo much RIP ❤️ soak up every minute and learn all you can while he’s here with you.
I completely agree. I learned so much from my dad too and I also really miss mine. Really miss doing projects like this together. Yes, soak it up. Life is shorter than it looks to a 20 ish person. May you have many wonderful adventures.

When watching this I was thinking about my own two daughters and how great it would feel to fix this exact thing together for a camper that either of them had and used for great road trips. It means so much doing meaningful stuff together, just like this.
Just FYI, the command thought for mounting the fuel pump is to mount it at a 45 degree angle. The pumps seem to last longer. Checkout Living the Vanlife’s channel as well as several videos on using them in shops. I have had several bunk heaters in trunks, in trucking they are called bunk heaters, and we don’t have co2 detectors in the trucks.
Wow, that was quite a job! I had decided that that was the type of heat source I was going to go for once I am able to get my minivan converted. Well I was watching I was thinking how nice it would be if my dad we’re here to help me convert my van. But if that were the case he would be much too old to help me, since I am 73🤣 I will have to hire mine done, once I have gotten rid of everything.
I was thinking the same thing about my father assisting me if he was still here. I'm 60 and if he were here, and to old to do it himself, he would be sitting by my side directing me on what to do. He was a very creative soul, there was very little he couldn't do. I sorely miss him... well both the parentals 🥴.
I just started watching you y’all are so cute you and your daddy working together I love seeing that my daddy passed away unfortunately a couple years ago and I miss him dearly he was a tinkering man. Oh and I love how you call your dad D I guess is that what you call him sometimes I thought that was super cute!! ✌️❤️🙌🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼Many prayers and many well wishes on your travels baby girl
I have watched more of your videos and have to say what a great job you have accomplished. Something you might be interested in doing is putting a Marine Boat Hatch (Glass) forward of your Solar Panels. This will let you stand up in the Van if you have to change clothes etc. You can also prop it open for airflow. Great Job and safe travels...........
You & your dad are awesome, great job!👍. If I may suggest one thing... that little muffler needs to go upright because it has a weep hole for condensation to drip out, otherwise it’ll get rusted quickly! I hope this helps.
Good for you dear. I was brought up the little princess. Good for you to be learning how to build things, Fix things, especially motors. I still do any of those things because I am disabled. My husband is quite handy. We have saved money because he can fix anything.
Looks very good. I think it was @vancity_vanlife who said in one of his videos that he was told to run his on "High" for a few minutes every day or so to keep the burner from getting coated with carbon. (I think I remember him propping the doors open when he did. Apparently the heaters are powerful enough to run you out of the van in a short period of time. A lot of channels have them and most seem to be happy with them.)
Also run them at least once each two weeks on high, year round. Especially in the summer, to avoid problems caused by soot build up and old, expired diesel fuel.
I figured I couldnt do this myself, but good to see basics as I'll be able to help my installer and know if it's done right. Great video! Great to have supportive parents. Cant wait for more adventures.
I think the only issue is diesel beside water. An oops and a stinky mess. Maybe make plywood taller for splash guard of slide plastic sheet behind tank? Great job nice to work with dad,it's the best!!
Exactamundo. Also awkward. Would be bumping left forearm on spout all the time trying to do the dishes. And smell is right there when brushing teeth/ washing up.
How awesome is this that your folks surprised you with this!! Here is to toasty nights in the van! A reminder not to block it and as one other person mentioned a carbon monoxide detector. Have awesome adventures in 2021!! We look forward to seeing what's next? Stay blessed for you and your family! 😊
Really important..small van takes low heat so never turned up...So many people don't turn to max to burn off carbon. On start-up some have a high heat cycle others have high heat run when turning off. Hope this helps,it gets forgotten in those amazing instructions!!!!
It’s a wonderful heater! So thankful, you were able to get it from your mom and dad. I’m just learning about that heater. You have a wonderful parents! MommaFaye 🌺
I loved my 1991 Aerostar AWD above all other vehicles I've owned, and plan to buy another, and am looking right now. I plan to do something similar to what you are doing. I sleep in a recliner and have for many years, so plan to simply install a driver or passenger seat designed to be reversed and reclined, which will leave a lot of space. It will pivot and slide for an appropriate location. I don't consider running water terribly important, and I've found that a solar shower works well for me when car camping, but a simple engine heat exchanger using a heater hose and a copper coil immersed in a container of water will produce a lot of hot water. The upward opening rear hatch would make a wonderful extension tent roof without a lot of work leaving a stand up area at the back. A composting toilet using sawdust or peat moss or coconut choir can be simple and odorless. It is wise to have some sort of grey water system even if you bypass and dump your wash water so that you can park in places that require "self contained". I used to cook on the engine of my car when traveling, but the Aerostar doesn't have places to do that. However, engine coolant reaches temps that easily will cook food safely. There is no other vehicle I've owned that seemed so "self driving". The Aerostar drove like it was on rails. It just wanted to follow the road..... I felt like I could get up out of the driver's seat and walk back and grab a beer out of the cooler, and when I got back it would still be in the lane.......... truly amazing and relaxing to drive. By contrast, I've driven a number of the GM Astro/Safari, and they want to be anywhere but in the lane. You have to drive them every second....the most terrible handling I've ever experienced in a modern vehicle. If you turn for example and then let the wheel spin in your hands, instead of straightening out as it should, they turn sharper and head for the ditch. The contrast is incredible. Beware the rear antilock brakes.... hit a patch of sand at a stop sign, and they simply cut the rear brakes loose........ the only truly terrible aspect to the Aerostar.... I don't know if they ever upgraded to a decent true 4 wheel antilock, but that was a very bad system. My favorite heating system is the Buddy catalytic heater. It produces zero CO, and is extremely fuel efficient. No holes or chimney.
Congrats to you and your dad for the successful installation of the diesel heater. You still have a good use for the money you would else save for the heater if it wasn't a gift. Now it's time for a battery monitor. In the past you only run lights on your battery. But now also the heater's fan, glow plug, display, and fuel pump. On the lowest setting the power consumption will average 1 to 5 Ah per hour. On startup and shut down it pulls up to 11.5 amps @ 12V. Running at full blast it pulls 3.5 to 3.7 amps. If you're on a budget you won't look for battery monitors of brands like Victron Energy, Xantrex, Sterling Power, Magnum Energy and the like. There are cheap monitors that will only show what is going out. But you need a battery monitor that measures current what is going in and what is going out the battery, and than calculates the difference what is still in the battery. A few suggestions are the AiLi battery Monitor, the Renogy battery monitor, and the old Ming He Drok. All are on eBay and Amazon, and review and installation videos on TH-cam are available. Installation of all battery monitors, are the same. So you can also watch installation videos of the Victron Energy battery monitor.

A battery monitor is a fuel gauge and speedometer for your batteries and takes the guesswork out of managing your boat's energy consumption. How deeply you discharge your batteries directly correlates to how many battery cycles you can expect.
Thats great , the silencers are brill & makes a huge sound difference.my guinipigs have 1 for there run with cover.&another in the van going through alaminium pipes through boxes and we are all happy.good luck .
It is lovely you were able to do this with your dad. The spot you mounted your tank is a bit odd though. The spout is going to interfere with your sink use etc etc etc. I'd move it somewhere else. But Im glad you are going to be warm. So nice.
I think that a heated mattress pad would also work wonders on those nights when you don't really need the heat on. Wouldn't pull that much power from the jackery solar .
Heat! That's great! The more I watch and catch up on your channel the more I'm leaning to starting our van adventures with the kiddos, I have my eyes on an Aerostar already and many ideas from your channel yay!
If that fuel pump for diesel heater is too loud for you, there is an ultra quiet replacement available on eBay I know of for about $40. The pump that comes with Chinese heater makes knocking noise because it is metal to metal contacting parts inside pump.
make shure you use a bit of exorst paste as extra safety & 2 jubilee clips at an angle as security.you can hang that pump on a fuw tie wraps to reduce clunking sound. happy travelling
Hi Tia thank you so much for your videos! And bringing us along on your journey. I would like to know how your heater is going and having the diesel canister inside the van and if you smell anything from it and most of all I would really like to know how you power the electrical part of it and how much energy it takes. Thank you very very very much!!
Great job you two, tell your dad to order a new fuel pump and check on the glow plug I can't remember I watched a bunch of videos myself and everybody says to get those two things extra, now you won't have to worry about your water getting Frozen in your water tank, be smart be safe and have a blast camping
If you remove all the plastic interior, you double the space inside. My cargo Aerostar came with no simulation or rear interior, so I started from scratch.
Happy New Year 🥳 to you and your family being subtropical we don’t use these but i am interested in how they are installed, thank🙏 you for sharing, be safe cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
So awesome! I came across your videos because I found a 1995 ford aerostar for sale in my area and I am very temptedddddd haha. How has it been on the mechanical side? also how is the speed going up hills and acceleration? just asking because I live in Canada and I will be moving to British Columbia to do the vanlife and the mountain roads there are crazy haha

be sure that you DO NOT burn diesel with additives, it will plug up that heater. Learned this from van wives channel.

Happy new year!!😁
Congratulations on getting the new heater. It will be such a nice addition to your little home. Your dad and you make a great team.
Your dad is great getting you hands on installing your heater. You are learning stills you can use later in life and remember your dad for. Nice.
great video, just so you know the muffler has a hole that the condensation drips out and the hole should be angled down.
I think that a heated mattress pad would also work wonders on those nights when you don't really need the heat on. Wouldn't pull that much power from the jackery solar .
I have a heated blanket for those kind of nights :)
Heated pads and blankets take a lot of electricity

I love that ur dad helped you put that in. What a gem! Now you'll definitely stay warm. Stay safe sis.
Are you okay? You haven’t uploaded in a while.
You have a great voice! I would love to listen to you retell mysteries from places you visit in the van, read your face books, etc!
very cool i like how your Dad helps by letting you do the work that is the best way to teach, Happy New Year
Always get a Carbon monoxide just in case someone pulls next to you and keeps the engine running.
Up in Canada and I'm installing mine tomorrow. Thanks for your support. ✌️🇨🇦✌️
Heat! That's great! The more I watch and catch up on your channel the more I'm leaning to starting our van adventures with the kiddos, I have my eyes on an Aerostar already and many ideas from your channel yay!
If that fuel pump for diesel heater is too loud for you, there is an ultra quiet replacement available on eBay I know of for about $40. The pump that comes with Chinese heater makes knocking noise because it is metal to metal contacting parts inside pump.
How nice to have such lovely parents, enjoy your trips.

Hello tia just wanna know do you still have this van I would love to show you my 1995 ford aerostar you are giving me good ideas
Nice! I'm getting some great hints that I will try.
nice family, nice job on the heater too
Cool to see you do it. I have all the things for my build but no van 😂 keep on rocking the videos out.
That was a GREAT video!! To save money look for off road diesel fuel it or red diesel fuel it does not have a road tax.

Have not seen any more about your. Van. Hope you get to. Share some more adventures with us.
Nice! I want one but I don’t camp out in the winter. Maybe that would change tho lol
Hola. Tengo una Ford aerostar.
Y haré lo mismo que tú.
Saludos desde Santiago de Chile
you guys are sweet. wish i had a dad like that. your blessed :)
If you remove all the plastic interior, you double the space inside. My cargo Aerostar came with no simulation or rear interior, so I started from scratch.
Very good ✌😁👍 its really nice your parents are so supportive... 😀 great job .... HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎊
Happy New Year!😁
Thank You Very Cool!!!!
Hello Tia good to see you again
Its crazy you even have an aerostar
Sweet T and D. Cute team. Good work. Thanks
Any updates? Have you slept out at all this winter?
Tia good too see you again missed you as well stay warm and safe too ❤️
Must be nice, daddy is pretty handy.. it’s a good idea to have a co detector, first aid kit and a fire extinguisher. Just in case.
I remember that video, and what amazing parents...😘
Happy New Year 🥳 to you and your family being subtropical we don’t use these but i am interested in how they are installed, thank🙏 you for sharing, be safe cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Happy new year!!😁
So awesome! I came across your videos because I found a 1995 ford aerostar for sale in my area and I am very temptedddddd haha. How has it been on the mechanical side? also how is the speed going up hills and acceleration? just asking because I live in Canada and I will be moving to British Columbia to do the vanlife and the mountain roads there are crazy haha
Woah, I ain't seen your dad in a minute! Nice 💪🏽 and good quality vid!
Only thing I see to change is the muffler has to be turned to let moisture out. It should have an arrow pointing down.
Waiting for your new videos, 4 months of waiting, please upload faster
you have a Great Dad...... putting one in my minivan
Do stuff like that scares me just get myself a heating pad works fine the ones that turn on and off in there on timers well enjoy your heater
Nice....like ur dad.....please tell us how much fuel it uses when u run it...
The magical powers of warmth 😊
