You definitely make good points about the pros of a diesel heater, however after 2 years, I know I made the right choice for my own needs. First, I see no reason to use three fuels for travel when I can easily get by with two, and diesel emits far more pollutants and poisonous gases then propane. Second, I am one of those people that cannot stand the smell of diesel, both in pouring it and the fumes of burning it, even if the exhaust is only outside. You should also consider others are also sensitive to it, so should you be parked close to other campers, the fumes may bother them as well. Third, the diesel heater cannot run without electricity, as it is totally dependant on power. The Dickinson can heat with no power at all. I would also never trade the calming aesthetics of the flicking flame to the thump thump of the diesel pump. As far as reliability goes, the Dickinson has few moving parts and is likely repairable on site, while the diesel relies on circuitry, pumps and a motherboard that would be very difficult to fix on a cold winter night. To each his own. The only other heater that may compete with the Dickinson is a Propex HS2000, as it runs on propane. Unfortunately they are a lot more expensive, and I am a budget traveler. It also sounds like you missed the prior video which explained my choices in detail: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWS8eaaNZpWjhrc

I explained this at 2:25 in the video.

They are attached to a valance. You could glue that in I suppose, but mine is on with screws. Thanks

Moisture is the byproduct of burning all carbon fuels, whether wood, gas, propane or diesel. The difference is the type of heater. Those that use heat transfer instead of direct heat will allow no moisture in the cabin or room whatsoever. Look for a heater with a heat exchanger.
