You probably already know this, but you should give the heater a regular blast(maybe just before it gets turned off) at full temperature. If they are are run at a low temp like in most vehicles, they soot up inside and become very inefficient . The regular high temp will burn off the build up. I threw out my first heater coz I thought it was not working. A mate took it apart and showed me what was happening. My second heater is good as gold now. cheers.

[@stevieburrows3953]

You have been my Xmas Television.I built a campervan many years ago on a 35s12. Watching you doing this I am thinking seriously about doing it again.I am at the pooping my pants stage but I think a 35s13 LWB would be a good start.Thanks for the inspiration and guidance

[@Iveavan]

Excellent 👌👍, no worries your welcome Stevie 😎👌👍👍👍.

[@wegenforum]

I don't know how you knew I had planned to install our new dieselheater this weekend but it wouldn't come at a better moment. I bought a heater together with a installation - specialist who I'm going to help in order to keep the build within one day. I was planning to get it under my left driver seat so in exactly the same spot, but deu to the construction I'm in a little doubt now. Well well see, I might place it underneath our bed just in front of the right rear wheel if the mechanic agrees with me on that. So this Saturday I'm going to do about half of the work you did, on exactly the same vehikel, love it!!! Still amazed at how your job just is going to help mine😂😂😂 Going to send the link of your vid to the mechanic, just in case he doesn't know the specifics of our van. 🤣 And just in case I forget it: Wish you and your loved ones a merry Christmas and a great new year. And of course to all of your viewers 🎄🎉🎇🍻🥂

[@Iveavan]

Haha well you know I like to be tuned into other van builder needs 🤔😬😅, If your keeping your bench seat you still be able to fit it there mate, just a bit more near to the drivers seat, due to swapping my seats over and being right slap bang in the middle of that structural support, and having already jacked up the front end to do the cab to chassis bushes, they was a lot of flex in that body chassis member, it needed strengthing in my case 😉👌👍👍👍.

[@wegenforum]

@@Iveavan our mechanic had swapped out our cabin to chassis bushes too, deu to severe wear out (our van has a persons-elevator on the front right side which, in my perspective caused that wear out) but at that moment I didn't notice any flex on the cabin. I even thought that our mechanic had to push the flex to the limit, just to get those rubber blocks in there. 😁. But to get back on-topic, my driver seat (LHD) is where your buddyseat is mounted so that's why I fear this a bit. So if I hear you correct, then I don't need to worry about the structural issues and perhaps we can mount it there without the extra strengthening that you made? I forgot to tell you that there is already a (broken) water heater in our van which can't deliver what we want (continues heat) within the price of repair which is the same as the stuff I ordered and I've pland for this weekend. So maybe, just maybe the mechanic can still swap out the water heater for this one which would leave my tools underneath my LHD driver seat and gives heat through the standard vents. I would love to trow out that broken Eberspacher and have the heater under the bonnet. Anyhow, what I don't understand is why you didn't go for the option of using the same dieseltank as the one which is already there? Its right behind the mounted seat😄 I know I will, we can even use the same line as used for the old waterheater. A sin, we would say in the Netherlands, referring to your beautifully covered wall, now decorated with a white plastic fuel tank. Ide call it the Chinese wall. 🤣🤣🤣. Respect your choice tho, still love your work which inspires me and all your viewers and hope you will have the same fun with your van as we have for years now. Now go and have some warm fuzzy Christmas time along one of the beautiful British roads. 🌲🎅🌲 Best wishes, Carlo Knüwer, Vught

[@Iveavan]

@@wegenforum hey mate, I mean if you placed the heater more to the middle of the van under the bench seat you should avoid that body structural point, so you don't have to do what I had to do, (only two 30mm holes in the floor pan) I strenghend mine due to cutting through that structural point, and incase I have to do those bushes again, and to keep the MOT guy happy, he then can see its been re-strenghend, due to the seat and chassis mount are within 300mm of that area bud 😉👍, have a great Christmas and Happy New year matey,😀👌👍👍👍.

[@wegenforum]

@@Iveavan Ill give this Information to my mechanic so it can help on the job tomorrow. Thank you very much, Mark

[@davidpiper3652]

The health and safety jobsworth in me cringed at watching you drill with no eye protection but I digress ... I had my diesel tank on a hinged panel in the back, so I could swing it outside to fill, thus any spills were outside. In the end I never actually used it and fixed it solid. I spent hours trying to get that to work and routing the fuel line with out a kink. With care I never spilt any appreciable amount of fuel. Separate tank give the option of red diesel if you have a supply. Nice job, proves the point - keep it simple. Happy Christmas!

[@Iveavan]

Haha yeah, you should wear safety glasses 🤓😉👍, luckily for me, mine is easily accessible for at the pump and being able to fill it up via a 20lt jerry can, I wanted ease and also knowing me, I'll forget to fill the sodding thing up 😅 😬. All the best and have a great Christmas matey 😊🍻👌👍👍👍.

[@johnmccarron8184]

we put this heater in a caravan for an offroading festival, i woke up thinking i was on fire because my duvet fell over the vent and was buring my feet hahaha, but an excellent bit of kit for the money really surprised with how well it done, remember to put it on high before turnining it off to burn off excess carbon

[@johnmccarron8184]

Also i would consider using a bigger diesel tank, a 25ltr drum with the feed going through the lid so you can take it off and fill it up with ease, the 10ltr just became a bit of a pain to constantly fill up

[@Iveavan]

Thanks for those tips John 👌👍, yes I'm very pleased with the heater, a game changer in this weather 😁👌👍👍👍.

You pointed exhaust to the back of front tire and I have a feeling that when you drive on wet surface water could be basically pumped into you exhaust up to heater in worst scenario also water in exhaust box not helping with corrosion, other than that very professional and clean installation great job.

[@Iveavan]

Thank you matey👌👍, the exhaust is facing down and outwards towards the side of the van (as pictured in my community post on here) just the camera angle makes it appears to the exhaust pointing that way bud 😉👌👍👍👍.

@@Iveavan Ok that's fine BTW I saw that you installed pump outside van how noisy is this clicking sound inside and as well outside ?? I was wondering about made sound insulating box for that little clicker :P

[@Iveavan]

@@sprint12polska I can't hear it from the inside of the van, you can feel it under your feet (the vibration of the pump clicking) I mounted mine on a rubber exhaust mounting buffer so I suppose that helps a little, but from the out side you can hear it probably up to 4 to 5 metres away bud 🤔😉👍.

[@nlo114]

Nice job overall! I don't have a van or a diesel heater, but it's better than Xmas-day repeats on telly. I have learned from watching these heater installs that you shouldn't run the thing cool, or it will soot-up inside; so run it hot cyclically rather than warm steadily and it will last ages. (if you get my drift).

[@Iveavan]

Yeap your right 👌👍, thank you 😎👌👍👍👍.

Another great video, always a pleasure to watch your videos, so well put together and presented, (you did'nt say 'itself' once, I was waiting for you to!), and you're very capable indeed in doing things, like that welding in of the downtubes, and when you did that engine replacement in a previous video your work was nothing short of heroic, and in the pouring rain, and filming it all, a magnificent effort that you kept at, never defeated by it at any stage at all, like the rest of us would've been, so proud of you to represent England like this as you do, as these videos are seen by everyone worldwide. Merry xmas to you too Mark, and thankyou! Alan, in Norfolk.

[@tonytca9439]

Couple of things to do with those heaters. First use marine grade stainless steel jubilee clips the kit ones are crap and rust and fall apart in months. Next buy another exhaust kit 15 quid comes with another 600mm pipe and add that to the end to route exhaust to better place and makes the unit MUCH quieter. Also change the kit air intake thing to a proper 1" dirt bike KN air filter cost about £6 and will stop crap going in to the burner and makes it quieter. If you run them in Temperature mode they will do a full power warm up which stops them sooting up. Leaving them on Power mode set to low all the time soots them up fast. One last thing never let the power cable disconnect when running. The casing will rise to 1000C and melt everything inside in seconds! Instant Chinese death... Its only the fan that keeps these things alive.

[@Iveavan]

Some great tips there matey, yeah those jubilee clips are naff indeed! Cheers bud 😉👌👍👍👍.

[@pa_maj.MARTINI-van-MAN]

Mark not that I'm being picky ( you have done a super job ) but something that may be of importance to you. I noticed that the silencer faces the front nearside wheel. This might get plastered in mucky wet debri and even to the point of blocking the exhaust mate. I drive sometimes with my heater on and it's handy to be able to do this, yours, the way the silencer is fitted would get rushing air or water sucked up to excess, I think. My heater is also on the passenger side but with the exhaust extended over to the off side of my van, facing rearwards and well away from opening windows, doors and awnings. I guess you could just wait and see, it may be fine! I thought it was worth pointing out though. Oh' the breather may have been better pointing down like a snorkel if you're like me and hit some flooded areas with a little speed lol. Saying that, it does seem protected and High enough 🤞 I wish you and your family a Very Merry Christmas 🎄✨🎈🎆🧨🎇💥🎅🥂🎈🎄💖

[@Iveavan]

Cheers matey 😉👍, only time will tell if the exhaust will become an issue bud, it looks like it pointing forward but it actually face's more out to the side mate 😉👍. It would have to be a good 3ft deep flood for the water to take effect on the air intake, my air intake on air filter housing for the engine is around the same hight if a little lower. Have a great Christmas matey 😉🍻👌👍👍👍.

[@TheWrinklyNomads]

Hi Mark, Good install and video, thanks. You might want to turn that silencer a bit more to horizontal though. There's a condensate drain hole in the middle to drain off any moisture otherwise it will rust in no time... I fitted my fuel filter the other way round? Not 100% sure if I'm correct but you can see if there's any crud in the system through the perspex much easier then. ATB, Steve

[@Iveavan]

Cheers matey 👌👍, to be honest I haven't seen any holes in my silencer? (or haven't noticed it 🤔). My fuel filter is the right way around on mine bud, the gauze filter wants to be catching any bits of debris with in its Cup, so you can remove it from the housing and wash it out. Have a great Christmas matey 🍻😉👌👍👍👍.

Yes no problem although I did mean the 12v bit 👍

[@paulmcmahon8550]

great video loving the channel . just a quick question p.s its not meant in any way as a criticism . it looked like during the install there may have been an original diesel line in similar area as to where you were working. what was the reason you didn't just take a supply from your main diesel tank. i will be installing same heater in the future and just wanted your opinion. all the best paul

[@Iveavan]

That's right bud 👍, errm two reasons the choice of using kerosene or red diesel, and if I was to use the main fuel pipe and the main fuel tank was approaching on being empty, the diesel heater could potentially use that fuel and probably run out of fuel for the van in the morning. If your going down that route via the main tank, Probably best to use an separate pick up pipe, only going down 3/4 of the main fuel tank (not going all the way down to the bottom, like the main pick up pipe), so the heater doesn't use your reserve of fuel you have, once its low 😉👌👍👍👍.

[@nealblath]

great video mate, Im just converting a Iveco 35s12 into a Campervan and find all your videos brilliant. You use a 'rim nut tool'? to install the fasten the heater down, what is the tool exactly as I have so many uses for one of those?

[@Iveavan]

Cheers matey 😉👍, look for " rivnut tool kit " on Amazon, it comes with everything you need 😎👌👍👍👍.

[@thegrimreaper7777]

You put a very tight bend straight out of the hot end of the heater, you may suffer from overheat shutdowns in the future.

[@Iveavan]

It's been running for over 60 hrs with no issues bud, but I shall keep an eye for error code 01 😉👍👍👍.

[@madasfish2662]

Anyone using the same heater replace the rubber hose that connect at the joints of diesel pipe as it perish and splits very quickly

[@Iveavan]

I'll keep an eye on them bud 😉👍👍👍.

[@linz_in_NZ]

Always wondered if you can run these on veg oil?

[@Iveavan]

From what I've seen on here not successfully Linzi, I seen people run them off on old hydraulic oil but soon cokes up the heater, I've probably used 40lts of diesel over a space of two months, and it's been running for long periods so that ain't bad 🤔😉👍👍👍.

[@ScoobieDee]

Why not plumb into main Diesel tank ?

[@Iveavan]

Because it takes away the option of cherry diesel bud 😉👌👍👍👍...

[@wiffer64]

Be Careful with the exhaust. there is a drain hole on the bottom of it and has you have mounted it it will decay quickly

12:18 Lots of turns and constriction on the output hose. Any problems with "Overheating" at full power when burning off carbon? I've read install instructions that state "first 15 inches of hose should be straight off the heater."

None whats so ever. Still working fine over a year on.

great vid, i watched another video today , and it now seems they do a combined air and hot water one also , cant find it on ebay but the youtube guys name is David McLuckie

[@lyndonwebber1389]

Can I pick your brains here and their as you’ve done what I’m doing with my lwb iveco ? Was wondering what seats you used in back and front, I like it 👍

[@Iveavan]

Yes, you can bud, Regarding seats, well your option's are endless as long you can fabricate frames for them, how ever I wouldn't use the VW touareg ones again (in the rear) as there uncomfortable I'd probably revert back to foam bench seats again, but if you need the rear for passengers you could use some kind of bench seat with fitted seat belts as long the frame is mounted and anchored with spreader plates on the underside. What seats were you thinking of?

[@lyndonwebber1389]

@@Iveavan thanks buddy, think back to the beginning of your build , worst luck that’s wear I am lol , I was just wondering about the seats they look nice, but I was going to build a bench seat , I will stick with your advice . I’m a fabricator welder by trade so could of made the frames, it’s very overwhelming and a lot of work . So far I’ve changed axle done tumps of welding rust proofing and sealing,changed gear box crunchy second clutch , brakes , welded doors up , stone chipped all the bottom, put the floor in and insulated underneath. Next body work paint windows and windows,I’m literally dreaming about campers lol so atm I’m thinking of ideas and ways to go, I got a scrap caravan wasn’t the best for free cut that up , anyway it’s good to no I can ask someone like yourself for ideas as you’ve done it already,and done it well .

[@Iveavan]

Sounds like you've had a bit of a job to do on yours bud "😬", I do recommend the P38 Range Rover seats for the front as there very comfortable, probably manual adjustment if you didn't want to go through the hassle of wiring them in 😎👍.

Why use the plastic tank,.? i don,t understand if u ride diesel it,s simple right,.?

[@Iveavan]

We have an choice of fuel in the UK, road going Diesel ( White Diesel) or Red Diesel. Red Diesel is half the price of road going Diesel (White Diesel) thanks to government tax rules. I can't use "Red Diesel " to run the van due to strict TAX laws (only white Diesel). Hence! using the plastic tank 😉👌👍...

[@chblabah]

Isn't 5KW way way way too much for your insulation? I'm using 30mm PIR boards and based on the calculations it would need 800w of heating if it's -10C outside... Btw. I like how you insulated the van and how you pay attention to all those details. I thought I'm the only insane person going through all this mess.

[@Iveavan]

Personally, I wouldn't take it gospel when a chinese diesel heater is advertised as '5kw'. If you're van is the same size as mine I'd would go for the 5kw version trust me bud 😉 (I very doubt that they are 5Kw) but for me, it's perfect. I just leave it on, on the lowest setting and I don't bother with it after that, I just turn it up for 10 minutes when I'm switching it off so it doesn't Coke up. I've been in minus 12 °C and just leaving it running on the lowest setting has been comfortable 😉👍👍👍.

[@chblabah]

@@Iveavan haha good point ;) I guess that's true. I've only got a L2H2 Ducato and Autotoerm 2D - so far it works nicely.

[@MrJackCooney]

Your filter is on backwards!

[@Iveavan]

It isn't! It's an "serviceable gauze filter" , the gauze cup is catching and collecting the debris with in the cup, not collecting around the cup, so you can lift out the cup with the debris that has collected inside and wash it out, not contaminating the rest of the filter housing / fuel line... if it was an sealed disposalable filter, yes the cone of the filter wants to be facing towards the tank bud 😉👌👍👍👍.

[@MrGenedancingmachine]

I know you know your stuff with motors but the diesel heater god himself, John McK says you should mount the exhaust opposite the direction of travel, not facing

[@Iveavan]

Cheers matey🍻👍. I do see his thinking bud, But! ... Who has their diesel heater switched on when travelling 🤔? Not only that its almost impossible for combustable gases to be released from the heater unit back into the cab or habitation area due to the unit is only releasing hot air from an fan blowing over the sealed combustion block. As stated in the video, it had to be placed out of the way of the "drive away yawning entrance" . The silencer is facing more to the N/S of the van the facing forwards bud 😉👍👍👍.

[@MrGenedancingmachine]

Mark Collom #Iveavan Yeah, I didn’t get what you meant there, “driveaway yawning entrance”, but I don’t know why it’s bad to do it, my brain just logged it as bad from picking it up while watching a shit-ton of diesel heater install videos before installing mine, I do drive with mine on, I live in my van and when I’m leaving work and driving to my regular parking spot, I switch the heater on so the van is warm by the time I get there, plus it’s pulling from the split relay power while driving rather than the leisure battery while stationary, ps. I put my tank behind the driving seat too, good instinct! 👍

[@Iveavan]

@@MrGenedancingmachine ahhh get yeah, a valid point why you do use it whilst driving😉👍, I think he could be thinking of water ingress going up into the exhaust more then anything bud 🤔(I've personally not seen that video mate) 😉👍👍👍...

[@thegroove2000]

Overly complicated to achieve a certain outcome when there is a simpler alternative.

Take out the middle bit of welding and it's in and working within a couple of hours, plus you can set the desired temperature on a diesel heater. Regarding Wood Burner I haven't got the roof space for an chimney bud 😉👍.

Well you've made my mind up Mark, when I eventually get there, it'll be a cheap Chinese heater for me. I'd be interested to hear it you get bothered with fumes?

Hi Greg, I've had the heater running for around 70 hrs now, today with the cargo door open due to being in and out of the van. I've personally not noticed any fumes from either the exhaust or the fuel tank in the cab so far, my co2 alarm has not noticed any either bud. All good so far matey 😉👌👍👍👍.

[@normahalliburton2908]

Hi Mark, really enjoying catching up with all your videos. I have the chance of buying an Iveco 2017 automatic 116bhp. Just wondered what you thought about the 116bhp in that, do you think it would have enough torque to manage a conversion (I have only just learned what bhp meant). It seems a lovely van but as I don't have any knowledge at all re mechanics never mind the Iveco I wondered if I could have your opinion please. Thank you for your time, take care and stay safe x

[@Iveavan]

Hi Norma Yes, I'm very well thank you 😊👍. You've got the same engine as mine then (2.3lt engine). It's an good work horse of an engine and very economical with fuel, mine certainly copes very well and at ease with my van build. so, I wouldn't worry about you're engine not being able to cope, you'll be fine with that engine 😉😊👌👍👍👍

So without further delay, here's my first edited version on the installation of our Planar heater like I mentioned before. kzbin.info/www/bejne/foGVeZqlpJiHoqM The one thing that went wrong was the direction of the fuel pump which wasn't explicitly on the pump. That took about an hour extra🤭 Therefore this raw video on the build, explaining what I did without knowing I placed the pump the wrong way around. Later on I placed it right but by then I already connected it to the return-fuel line as told to me by Hans, from Camper Service Deventer. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZOXdn9sgJyYoMk
