It looks like your exhaust is blowing towards the heat exchanger intake blowing into your tent. That might explain the smell. It would be better to move the exhaust to the side or front. Or add a duct to the intake side.

Are you kidding me? This is a moderately funny video that I worked moderately hard on with the intentions of humor. You need to relax. In all seriousness, I always wear supportive hiking shoes, a backpack with plenty of water, snacks, bear spray (if you'll be in an area with bears), pack a light jacket especially if you'll be at high elevations (I usually bring my lightweight windbreaker or a packable puffer jacket), and I won't hike without my camera! Enjoy your first hike and try to have a sense of humor a little bit, please.

Two questions: the person sleeping next to the slanted side of the tent, do they find that annoying? Does it feel like there is less space because of the slant? 2nd, the bar thats in front of the main door, does your shin hit it going in and out of the tent? I have the iKamper x-cover 2.0 mini and I love it, but I may be swapping RTT’s next year and this tent is on my radar.
@MikeTrachtenberg
@MikeTrachtenberg 12 күн бұрын
Hey, love the questions! Regarding your first, not at all. It is a very "vertical" slant. It would only be an issue for unexpected rain! 2nd - I've never got my shin on that bar. Haven't even thought about it. We switched over from the iKamper skycamp mini and while that was a fantastic tent, it was like going from a Honda to a Porsche! Good luck with the search and reach out if you have any more questions.

Thanks Mike a good review. However, I have a couple of points I would like to make. First I have used a similar system for some time now and think it's a great way to carry a camera whilst hiking. having said that, I have recently rationalised my mounting system and opted for the Falcam F38 system which included the Ulanzi backpack mount. So far I have only used it with a Nikon Z6III and the Z 24-120mm f4 lens, however I have no doubt that it would take the weight of my Z8 with the same lens. Although you had more difficulty fitting the Ulanzi mount, I don't believe that in a real world situation this would be a problem. In ordinary circumstances you wouldn't fit the mount whilst wearing the backpack and secondly once fitted It's unlikely that you would need to remove it that often. Finally I have to disagree with your comment regarding the position of the release button on the Ulanzi, as you hold your camera in your right hand I find it easy to grab the camera with that hand and release it with the other, ie from the left.
@MikeTrachtenberg
@MikeTrachtenberg 18 күн бұрын
Hey, thanks so much for the detailed comment. Honestly, theyre both probably great. I've been happy with mine now that I've been using it and I'm sure I would have been happy with the FALCAM as well. You definitely right though - once it's on your bag, that part doesn't really matter anymore lol. I'm terms of the button, I guess that's just personal preference! Happy trails!

Just set mine first one up. Love it. Be careful picking hoses and such. Make sure it is heat rated. Some hoses are only for air vents in houses and not rated to carry heat like a dryer vent hose. Not all Dryer vent hoses were not created for higher heat. Use that short piece that probably came with it as the hose piece you always attach directly to the heater. It is insulated and heat rated to that device. Beware. What looks like it is all aluminum may not be or may be coated. Be careful. HIGH TEMPS can cause HARMFUL FUMES. Look for and read labels. Carbon Monoxide detector is good but not enough. Tapes are not all the same either and not a good idea applied near the source where it is much higher temps. Stay warm and breathing easy ;)

Hi. Im new to the diesel heater. The tubing got hot and my family couldnt stand the plastic smell that came throught the tubing. Is it because its NOT heat rated? Second, the temp was set to 23 Celcius (73 Fahrenheit) yet it kept turning off after 30mins... and tent was still not warm. Did it overheat at the units exit point and shut down? Thank you

The pecron E3600 is a way better deal. 2400 watts of solar charging compared to 400 watts . 3072 wh battery expandable to 15kw. I could go on and on and they are the same price. It's a neat product but a 45 v limit on solar on a 3kw battery that's ridiculous. The pecron has 2 mppt's both rated for 150v each. Expandable bats have solar inputs as well. I like the metal on this and the weight but best deal nope! As far as camping this thing is out of control awesome. It's 50 lbs with 3000 wh's of storage and you can charge it via the car efficiently. I personally wouldn't use it in my home the solar kinda stinks but for camping its ideal. No one is carrying a 100lb solar station in their jeep nor 2400 watts of solar panels. So depending on ones use case it could be really useful. Sorry for the rant. Lol

Question, when you are running around outside does the campsite fill up with diesel exhaust smell, and can you smell the exhaust in your tent? From one roof top tent owner to another.
@MikeTrachtenberg
@MikeTrachtenberg Ай бұрын
Hey 👋🏼 Around the campsite, the smell has been very minimal. It's most noticable when you first turn it on for 5 minutes then after that only if you're right by the exhaust. Inside the tent, there is no diesel smell but there is some kind of a smell that I can't describe. I'm not sure if it has to do with the vent we use. It's definitely not a diesel smell. I'm hoping we are safe.

Not sure I'd trust a something that looks a bit like a $99 Harbor Freight welder. You can buy a Victron MultiPlus 3000VA charger inverter and a 230AH or larger LFP battery for the same price... at least with that you would get Victron reliability as well as their famous boost feature so you can run bigger loads on smaller shore power circuits. That said, it is a neat idea and very compact... it's a shame it requires external chargers and that it's output is so low.

It really does feel like a high quality product! I'm pretty sure most of the portable power stations shells are made of plastic, so I appreciate that they use metal. I would compare something like this to other portable power stations such as Jackery, EcoFlow, Bluetti, etc. For dummies like me, it's easier & less complicated than getting a battery & an inverter but I can certainly understand that there are people who would prefer to do it that way 😊
