Your a genius Jake! You have Luxury and Comfort combined on wheels. I love it! I will definitely keep this build in my mind, for my future truck build. Thanks for sharing your ideas and talent!

ive really grown to love that truck cap! i think I even have my best sleep back there. thanks for watching and the kind words!!
@tashaflemming5499 Жыл бұрын
Not only do you have the best sleeps you get some of the best views when the sides of the truck cap is up in the warmer seasons. Its definitely an upgrade from the roof top tent and it look way cozier.

Ya opening up the side is an added bonus! And it’s definitely cozier then the roof top tent, with all the storage!

I use a similar heater for my trailer and RTT winter camping in Michigan. Thanks for the wing clamps, that’s a neat upgrade. One suggestion, put some insulation on that duct. There is a insulated flex duct on Amazon you could just sleeve over it. You will be surprised how much additional heat you pick up.

thats awesome! and ya those clips were pretty handy. Ill have to look into the insulation, I can imagine im loosing quite a bit off just that.

Great setup man! dry heat is definitely the best. Nice to see how efficient the heater is with fuel. I believe they sell a updated fuel pump that's supposed to be quieter on those.

Thanks man! I was pretty impressed with it. And that’s good to know because so far that the only downfall

Insulating the duct pipe will help bring up that temp in the truck

11 degrees is pretty good, great test. Good job with the CO meter, pretty important

Have you set up a means to lock the window and back access door when you sleep in the camper at night and how? Did you create vent space for air circulation? Many thanks.

Hi, Nice video! You’re got a nice setup, I’ve got a question for you, did you had any smell from your unit? I have just bought one and it smells like burned rubber. Thanks for your time
@castawaytv Жыл бұрын
Thank you!! I’ve had no smell from my unit. Is there anything pressed up against your heat element inside the unit or possible the exhaust? Also I’ve read things about people using tubing for the heat pipe that can cause the pipe to heat up and start to give of fumes.
@manuelmetallica Жыл бұрын
@@castawaytv hi, no, theres nothing toching the heat element, i’m thinking maybe the gasket under the heater. I’ll change it and see! Thanks for for answer, have a great one

I am glad the heater worked out. I measured my heater on low and it pulls less than one amp, It is the startup that pulls over 10 amps. Does your heater vent that you put together telescope? Or do you just slide it closer to the back of the truck to raise the vent height?
@castawaytv Жыл бұрын
Awesome, that’s good to know! And I would just move it forwards or backwards to adjust for height. Telescope would be really handy though!

I had the heater set on the lowest possible setting. I could have cranked it up and sweat my ass off all night but I prefer to be comfortable.

I’m assuming 11 degrees celsius, right? I think that’s around 52 degrees fahrenheit. Great video! I’ll be using your system on my truck. Thank you!!
