​@@BruceVanlifeJunior I laughed at your ending with your vanlife shower. Well done!

[@Camilla_Sundholm]

You seem so sweet and supportive and I would love an interview and van tour @Vanma Ruth. I would love to meet you - would you let Bruce film you? 💕🌸

[@beyouvanlife]

Hahaha vanlife shower!😂😂😂😂

[@Camilla_Sundholm]

@@beyouvanlife 😂I can almost see Bruce sprinting through the sprinklers in his underwear with bubbles in his hair . I would not be surprised if this really happens 😂😂😂

Hey Bruce, that’s awesome that you’ve got a extra heater and you can use the smaller kilowatt for the summer yes, you got your Jeff Gordon chair, all dirty Lol Thanks for sharing you always make my day you look tired at the end of the video get some rest and I hope you’re getting work. Have a great weekend and be safe out there.🇺🇸♥️👍😎🙏⛰️🚐🇨🇦

[@Camilla_Sundholm]

Great video, tutorial for everyone with a diesel heater! Surly going to save someone one day searching in desperation when their heater has stopped working, but as you said, better to be prepared by cleaning now and not in -40 ! 👍🏼💕

[@BruceVanlifeJunior]

Thank you Camilla 🙏🏼😁 glad you enjoyed !! 🤗♥️

[@carolynrivera9745]

👋 Junior It's so awesome you are Mechanically inclined. I loved watching your channel. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. 😊 Bye-bye

[@BruceVanlifeJunior]

Awe thank you so much I’m glad you enjoyed 😁

Me being a dad. “Bruce why are you not doing this on the table. Why are you using my favorite outdoors chair?” Me shaking my head saying kids these days” That concludes my dad impersonation lol.

[@BruceVanlifeJunior]

I have a feeling I’ll be getting a lot that in this video 😅🤷🏼‍♂️ but it fixed haha 🤣🤙🏼🚐💨

[@livingsimplytosimplylive6817]

@@BruceVanlifeJunior oh, I’m sure you will. Thank you for the great tutorial and I hope you enjoyed your shower at the end lol.

[@BruceVanlifeJunior]

Haha we take them when we can get them in vanlife 🤣🤙🏼

[@rickyleenow8707]

Awesome teacher. Even I understood your instructions. I posted on Class A Living channel letting him know about you. He is a young guy like you rebuilding his motorhome. He just installed a heater in his truck to use until his camper is done.

[@beyouvanlife]

Great video Bruce will come in handy when I need to do maintenance on my diesel heater.

[@BruceVanlifeJunior]

Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed 😁🙏🏼♥️

[@brendag2891]

We are getting the smoke all over the US, too. I was just emailing you and Mark about the diesel heater in the Odyssey. Love your sprinkler van life shower, 😂!

Attempt 2 on my comment. I’ve discovered KZbin is deleting some peoples subscriptions and comments . So now I am getting to comment on this video. This is a very informative video Bruce ,and I am sure it will save some folks a lot of grief , by knowing how to clean their diesel heaters . I hope the 2K model will work good for you this coming winter. You did a perfect job of getting it cleaned up and ready to go. Take care buddy and stay safe. Now I gotta go re-subscribe to the other channels I follow that got deleted as a sub of mine….including Tamara’s channel. Kiki..👍😁🌸 Interesting lawn sprinkler shower by the way !! 🤪

[@christinamann3640]

That’s been happening for a while now. Occasionally I check everything I subscribed to.

[@BruceVanlifeJunior]

Hey Kiki sorry this keeps happening to you i promise it’s nothing on my end doing so also I do have an 8KW heater for winter I just need to clean it and get it ready next my 2kw is for summer I’m glad you enjoyed and yes I hope someone can use this as a easy explanation rebuild vs the more technical I’m depth one’s someone’s it’s just a simple cleaning and your warm again 😎 it’s nice to get warm after a good sprinkler shower 🤣 have a great day Kiki 🤗♥️🚐💨

[@kikiski223]

@@BruceVanlifeJunior No worries buddy…I know it’s not you or other content producers..it’s a KZbin thing….lots are getting unsubscribed to channels they have been subscribed to for years! I will just be more diligent to check my subscriber list more regularly!, Take care my dear! 👍🏻😊

[@christinamann3640]

Hey I just wanted to let everyone know the parade of garage sales is on in Ramsay today. Van builds, second hand stuff, camping gear, and a rolling kitchen cart that could be a nice little kitchen in a van. Keep an eye out for these in the summer. A day of yard sales is also a good idea for KZbin content *cough* Amber*cough* Also: tomorrow people can bring what didn’t sell to the Bridge Club so it can be free stuff

[@angela23]

This is a great tutorial, Bruce! I was surprised at how much build-up there was inside the unit. I will be rewatching this and following the steps when I do some fall maintenance. Currently, no need to use the unit as it's 30+ degrees Celsius in Ontario. 🥵

[@BruceVanlifeJunior]

Thank you I’m glad you enjoyed 😁 and hopefully your staying cool and enjoying the travels 🚐💨

[@angela23]

@BruceVanlifeJunior I'm trying my best-a bike ride with the breeze blowing in my face is the best at helping. Heading to the beach soon! ⛱️ 😁

[@BruceVanlifeJunior]

The beach 😍

[@kennethfrank-ol9fm]

WOW, I thought it was magical ferries with a campfire inside, Thanks for DIY vid really good info !

[@BruceVanlifeJunior]

Haha I thought the same to be honest and when Mark The Paint Guy Showed me about them it blew my mind 🤣🤙🏼

[@royourownboat]

It was like watching a "How it's made" KZbin video for cleaning your vanlife heater 👍 👌 😅

[@BruceVanlifeJunior]

Thank you 🙏🏼glad you enjoyed 😁♥️🚐💨

[@RVingwithLuck]

Not something I (most likely) will need in my RV, it was very interesting to see you do this.

[@Tylee10]

Watching all ur videos from start to present. Easier to understand what you have gone through in the last few years.

Good job man. ❤😊

[@robertbeck4748]

Have you used something like Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) or a diesel cleaner before by adding a couple drops / teaspoon to your diesel tank and letting it run through the system or know of anyone ?

[@BruceVanlifeJunior]

No I’ve never used it but I know people who do use diesel stuff in the fuel tank I just never have myself 🤷🏼‍♂️😅

[@marco1862]

Wow that heater is really dirty inside, did you always make sure to run the cleaning cycle after using the heater. Ive seen this before and mostly it is when people run out of battery and the heater shuts down without the cleaning cycle on the end.

[@BruceVanlifeJunior]

That’s happened to me many many of times and once it’s charged up again it fires back up if not it’s just this issue most times 🙏🏼 so far I’ve been lucky not needing parts

[@marco1862]

@@BruceVanlifeJunior True but this is the reason the heater is this dirty inside. It skips the cleaning proces at the end and then starts over again.

[@BruceVanlifeJunior]

They also get dirty over time as well , even diesel trucks and cars do the same that’s why there called dirty diesels 😅 If only the Chinese ones came in gas 😍🤷🏼‍♂️

[@pocomokeforester2504]

You soiled Jeff Gorden! Shame! 😀

[@BruceVanlifeJunior]

I know I was so upset 🥲

[@paulskystoneadventures]

👍👍🚐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍👍

[@MichaelAChang]

Thanks for the tip on the silicone gasket alternative; it'll work in a pinch! It seems odd that there is so much soot in 2 seasons of use; do you start and shutdown the heater according to proper procedure?
