would it be possible to put a pop-up roof *on* the Volkswagen roof? so the height of the upstairs bedroom could be increased?

Are you self tapping screws straight into the plywood and into the van roof for your support beams? won't we cause leaks?

Should I use a waterproof membrane or not needed?

What type cable are you using

Nobody has a Nibbler

Great honest video. One thing you didn’t mention that is a big advantage for the eberspacher is the ability to plug into diagnostics that being if your near a repairer with the appropriate software, I’ll be honest I have used eberspacher for years until recently sold the last horse box and left the heater in it. On our new truck I fitted the Chinese heater and did notice the obvious little difference in quality but to be honest for the difference in price you would expect it but it runs exactly the same and does everything it’s supposed too. I paid 120 for it so even if it lasted a couple of years it’s cheap enough to throw away and replace. 👍

Smart tips!

Anyone know what type of connector to use to charge the battery with solar panel and also what is the input voltage range for PV?

Thanks for the review. Just got one of these (original green version) and, with the caveat that it's not 'pro kit' I quite like it. Even for the nostalgia of it. I have a question though - Does anyone know what the four screws are for in the accessories kit please ? Update: Had another look and it looks like there are 4 holes at the bottom of the box and the screws are for screwing it down to a workbench. The box is quite light without the tool bag in it so kind of makes sense ... until you want to move it.

Hello would it be best to fit a rib bed first or can I do either way around many thanks

How long between first and second coat?

How are the clips called to hold the exhaust?

If you ever think about hitting Wales, theres a farm with 200 acres aching to do an event :) was there at SOTM 2023 :)

Why do some put the primer on the van as well as the glass? Your way seems better seeing it stops the primer running down the paintwork

so are you saying your dream vehicle can't survive without the toilet being emptied for three days?

There are cordless tablesaws now. I was impressed with this on Dragon's Den, but i heard a lot of bad reviews, and i think they've gone bust now.

Greetings, I am very concerned about diesel fumes pervading the cabin. I can see where a vented lid with one way air flow would be good at keeping the fumes out of the van because the fuel removed as the heater is used must be replaced by air. Questions::1) Does the tank have a vent? Have you had any issue with diesel vapors? Thanks!

No updates on this?

How do you this on a 2017 Transit Custom? The sliding door has deadlocked shut and cannot open from the inside or outside I suspect it's either a fault wiring loom or the cable for opening on the outside has dislodged from the eyehook in the lock mechanism. I cannot remove the lock and it's driving me crazy.

I've just installed a second-hand sliding door lock and now the door won't open from the inside and outside. The lock works with the keyfob and I think the manual switch for the child lock is on so cannot open from the inside anyway. The sliding door won't open from the outside. How strange is that?

Did you remove the blue lights? And sirens.

Hi, do you have a new link to the sensor please... Original listing is no longer available... Thanks

Where did you drill exactly inside the van? Close to the tyre lifter/jack?

Thanks to this video and eBay, I’ve surprised myself by fixing my diesel heater simply and quickly! 👏👏👏

My sliding door didnt work do i tried your trick with the holes and it worked and has been fine ever since. Thankyou

very good

Great video fella very informative

Very good video. Thank you

Offcourse you can use this in a campervan, if you link directly the 12v 30 amp output to your campervan fusebox..and get rid of the complex overpriced victron system..plug and play, deplug it easy and charge it anywhere you want it outside the van. That is for me the biggest advantage!

Where's the P.P.E.?

Good Good Good

Great video! Really helpful. Do you have somewhere I can get some rear pillar vent covers from?

I heard there is a 2 kilowatt and 5 kilowatt model. Does the smaller 2 kilowatt draw less electricity? Does this mean an auxiliary battery is required regardless of model?

If you are doing high altitude, you should also bear in mind the "altitude kit" offered by Eberspacher

Thanks for the heads up. I like the other one just because the the fuel tank is further away and it's larger. Now all I need to know is the difference between 5kw and 8kw, they appear to have the same heat output.

Do you know where I can get a battery replacement done? (CEL Powerhandle Pro PH12)

I installed my heater outside under the van, only the heat output tube enters the van through the floor

The Aerolyn 2000 is a very good Chinese heater. With top quality parts.

Try changing the drive belt....absolute nightmare.

can this go direct after a battery so pos to pos with the realy in the middle.

56 cans of stela 😊

Chinese heaters, get what you pay for. May have EC and in some cases UKCA marked, they’re all non compliant, they have no flame cut offs, no overheating cutoffs, any issues who are going to go to ? Stop supporting this Chinese crap

What’s interesting is you specifically mentioned mounting the pump at a 45 degree angle but when hooking up the fuel lines, you inadvertently moved it to angle opposite of what you had it.

The pump should be outside the van! And, the pump is upside down..angle is wrong...😮 Sorry 🙄🙄

That’s the best… thanks mate. 👌

Great video ..thanks for sharing

Hi, great video, I didn't notice if you fitted a rubber gasket between heater Base and steel plate.... Mine has one, and I'm fitting it shortly. Any advice?
