I SOLD MY VAN!! || Where have I been?

[@dorkinghens8124]

Nice install. I took a slightly different approach with mine. I put the all in one into a big black storage box from Homebase which is a perfect fit, and weather proof. I placed this out side and then drilled 2 x 68mm holes in the side of the box to route the outlet pipe into the shed and one out of the shed into the other end of the unit so I recirculate warm air rather than heating it up from cold. Quicker and less fuel. All the noise and exhaust is safely outside, with the unit fed from an external power source via an old battery and charger.

If you’re going to use the mains hook up, don’t waste charging and discharging battery, you can use that elsewhere, get a transformer 240 to 12 volts, make sure amperage is high enough, and condensation can build up in lowest part of exhaust and cause a blockage, heater will show error code, 👌😊

[@oliver90owner]

If it’s a float charger, it will use very little mains power except while running, and a few minutes afterwards. Better than risking over-heating the machine if the mains fails while it is running. The little silencer has a weep hole to drain any condensation. The rest of the exhaust pie will be hot while running. Important thing is for the cooler part of the exhaust to be running downwards.

Made it to the end. Great to catch up it's been a long time. All my best Rob

You might yet move your noisy diesel pump outside when you get fed up with it ticking away all the time. Need that combustion air intake going to the outside, too.🙂 I can’t think of any good reason for buying a portable heater unless it is used as such. A dip tube, into the tank for fuel extraction, has to be better than a bottom outlet, IMO. Enjoyed the video.

Thanks buddy

[@horstszibulski19]

Please do a Fiat Scudo conversion as next project, would be nice to see how great solutions you will find in one of these small vans! David from Vandemonium has converted one of these, but you will be able to set a real glamping one on it's wheels... :-D Thx for letting us hang out with you in the van, err...shed! :-D

[@jayrichardson6872]

Congrats mate

[@maddavvid2339]

Use some heat resistant silicon around the exhaust pipe pal

[@David_11111]

yay

[@melindamarie6139]

Hey Luke!!! Good news on the van!! "Speaking of the heater"... 🤦‍♀️ my 3rd one is now on it's way back... Smh the pump went on 2nd day soooo nope!! I've given up on diesel heaters n have NO idea how ppl say they have no problems!!! I also have no experience nor do I have any desire 2 learn how 2 repair them. I wanted something I buy n it works. Anyway... Great vid!!!

[@exploresandtosummit]

Nice to see you again! Getting a bit worried. Thought you vanished! 😀👍

[@jimrodda]

[@CaptainJackScrapper]

[@surferjim]

Well done dude! I should do the same to my workshop

[@David_11111]

yes got to the thumbs up bit :)

[@delbatley2373]

Hi Luke, mite be better to line that hole for exhaust with some pipe, I used a cut of left from a stainless steel exhaust worked well.

[@Peter-Old-Dog]

When I saw the title I thought WHAT sold your van I thought you had sold the Iveco

[@David_11111]

Diesel wont freeze :)

[@oliver90owner]

It can go goopy if the temp drops low enough. Filters get blocked very easily if the fuel ‘waxes’. That’s why you get ‘winter’ diesel, at the pumps, for part of the year. I remember 1963 when the diesel did freeze.

[@David_11111]

how hot will the wood get against the exhaust ??? little worried !

[@tacticaladvance]

at 36c hot.
