[@explorer867]

Toonstead, thank you for your comment and watching the video. This was a fun install and will be so nice to have while camping in the cold weather. Did you notice anything in the still shots at the end of the video? 😊

[@explorer867]

RJOURNEY, Its nice to have you as new friends on our channel. We have seen you on Outdoor 4 Adventure also. Enjoy our videos and we look forward to hearing back from you again very soon.

[@SteveTurtle]

Nice retro. It looked like a lot of work. I'll have to check out the next two parts to see how it went. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend.

[@explorer867]

Steve, thank you for watching our channel and leaving your comment. This was a fun project and the heater works beautifully. Have a great weekend.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I may get one for my box trailer camper let me know how it heats up your camper thanks for the video.

[@explorer867]

It does a great job at heating up the camper canopy. I will have the part 2 of the install out on Thursday.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

@@explorer867 I'll be there.

[@wildernessone6558]

Keeping warm is good as I see your in the snow at times. Nice video 👌👍👏👌👍

[@explorer867]

Yes for sure. Will be nice to poke a button and have the heat turn on. Thank you for watching our channel and leaving your comment.

[@JPMusicTV24]

Wow! You did it so neat my friend.🤗

[@explorer867]

Thank you for watching the channel and leaving your comment. These are great little heaters. Have a good day

[@SmallSpaceLiving]

Nice buy buddy. I hope long term it works out. Pretty neat for heat. Thanks for the share.

[@explorer867]

Looks like they hold up quite well and are so much less then the other options. I've been pondering this move for sometime and decided to jump in with both feet and try one. So far it's amazing. Thank you for watching our video and leaving your comments. Take care.

[@gonagain]

Hey! Cool logo at the end!

[@explorer867]

Yes, that was drawn for us by Toonstead check out his channel.

[@gonagain]

@@explorer867 Will do.

[@HappyPlaceCamping]

Didn't even know they made those. Hope it works out well for you.

[@explorer867]

The installation is finished and it's amazing. Part 2 will be out next week. This unit uses very little power and burns little diesel. Thank you for watching and commenting on the video. Have a great day

[@svenjohnson2389]

Happy Place Camping there is also a version that heats both air and water, search KZbin some good videos available.

[@explorer867]

@@svenjohnson2389 Yes the diesel heater that also incorporates a hot water heater is a very cool option. I may try one of these on the camper trailer conversion I will start soon. Have you tried one of these combo units Sven? Thank you for watching the video and also your input here. Have a great day

[@svenjohnson2389]

Explorer 867 I haven’t tried either one. I am currently RV-less, we sold our last one as is was a bit too small for our family of four. I hope to find a newer used unit and upgrade it for shoulder season camping so I have been scouring the internet for tips and ideas on what to do and how. So it’s people like you that are helping me! Thanks for posting the vids of your experiences!

[@explorer867]

@@svenjohnson2389 Always happy to share our experiences, and look forward to hearing from you.

[@JurgensJourneys]

Wow, that's a big difference on the price between the German and Chinese unit. I like the way you pattern drilled the necessary holes and prepared for the fuel tank. Good video!

[@explorer867]

Yes big price difference. I do hate to go Chinese on anything but all things considered price, amount of use, good reviews on the Chinese heater I decided to give it a try.

[@HoneyandMe]

This looks like a great option for heating. Propane has always been such a wet heat. Thanks for sharing all this info.

[@explorer867]

Honey and Me, this is so much better than propane as it's a dry heat. Thank you for watching our video and leaving your comment.

[@wildernessone6558]

Love your picture logo at the end.

[@explorer867]

Lol thank you. Toonstead did the art. His channel is so much fun.

[@JTSOUTDOORLIFE]

Wow what a great job! Looks like it is coming together very well! Thanks for sharing!

[@explorer867]

Yes, everything worked out great. It's a good option and is much better than the propane buddy heater. I'm very excited to get it out soon real-time in the back country and put it to use. I will have part 2 of this install released Thursday. Thank you for watching our channel and leaving your comments. Have a great day.

[@TheWoodHaven]

Right now, I have an electric heater when in a park and a Mr. Buddy for boondocking. Not crazy about the condensation. This is an interesting alternative. @DIY M105 Camper put one of these in his and loves it.

[@explorer867]

Daryl I am very happy so far with this 5kw unit. It's up and running. I will have part 2 up on Thursday. Thank you for watching our channel and leaving your comment Daryl.

[@BluWaveOdyssey]

Interesting. I'm just getting on this series, but am starting at the beginning. So far, his is looking like a great idea. Thank you for sharing.

[@explorer867]

This was a fun build for sure. I was dubious about going with the Chinese version of these diesel heaters but after watching and reading many reviews I decided to purchase one and give it a try. I first bench tested this unit for a couple of days to ferret out any problems, found none so proceeded with the install. The heater is working very well and is a real upgrade to our heating in the camper canopy. Good to hear from you BluWave. Have a great weekend

[@MySliceOfHeavenoutdoors]

interesting little heater, great job on the install

[@explorer867]

This is a good addition to our camping setup. These diesel heaters are affordable, a Good bang for the buck. The install isn't difficult just needs to be setup correctly. Thank you for watching the video and leaving your comment. Welcome to the family!

[@Goodtimecampin]

Looks like a great install and you did a good job showing everything on the video.

[@explorer867]

Thank you for watching and commenting on this part 1 video covering the installation of the Diesel Heater in our camper canopy. I will be releasing the part 2 video today Thursday at 2pm pacific time.

[@FernTheCamper]

This is so good! I've never heard of a Chinese diesel heater. So interesting and informative. We'd never be able to install as a DIY but would have you set it up lol. Great video :-)

[@explorer867]

Hi Fern, These heaters are a very good alternative to using propane in my estimation and that of others as well. They use very little diesel ".02 ml for each Hz or stroke of the pump" and except when heater is first starting up and during the shutdown cycles uses 8-10 amps at those times. While running it uses only .7 - 3 amps depending on Hz setting on controller. Thanks for watching and leaving your comment. PS: I have the part 2 video about the install just released today.

[@streetscapes]

Great video! Do you have a link for the diesel heater or make/model information?

[@explorer867]

Brandon, the Item # is AH-LCD-V4. Have fun with your installation, and let others know about my channel.

[@streetscapes]

@@explorer867 thanks for the response. Already shared with my friend to show how well of a job you can do to on one of these things. Any thoughts on how to make this a less permanent install?

[@GimpyCamper]

I've been kind of interested in these little boogers!

[@explorer867]

I will have the part 2 video released today at 2pm pacific time. We really like this 5kw heater and the install was a breeze. Thank you for friending our channel. I do enjoy your how too videos on RVing. Look forward to hearing from you again soon.

[@svenjohnson2389]

Crazy difference in price compared to the German model. Nice install so far, looking forward to hearing your views when you get to put it to work!

[@explorer867]

Yes a major difference in price for sure. I figure even if I have to replace this unit at in two or three years I'm still money ahead. Now that said I do have the install completed just haven't released the part two video yet and the heater is working very well. Thank you for watching the video and for your comments. Have a great day

[@6669bj]

With this burn either #1 or #2 fuel.? On or offroad fuel work the same?

[@explorer867]

I can't see why not as ag or off road fuel's only difference is the red dye as far as I know. Please give me a thumbs up, subscribe, let others know about our channel. Have a great day
