RV Heater Install! A Dickinson P-9000 for My Little Camper

In Part 2 of my new heater videos, I install and test a new Dickinson P-9000 Direct Vent Propane Heater in my little fiberglass camper. Although built for boats, I managed to make it fit my trailer and found the perfect spot for it too. I also find a new use for spaghetti!

NOTE FROM SLIM: Silly Me! I forgot to mention one important detail: The heater door has a glass panel in it. That's why you can see the flame, but the combustion chamber is sealed from the cabin air. That means it does NOT rob the cabin of oxygen, does NOT add Carbon Dioxide, and most importantly, does NOT add moisture either! SP

[@paullopez2000]

I figured that when you had to tighten a knob to shut the door

[@scothunter3221]

That window is one of the major attractions of the stove. It’s like having a little fireplace and just looking at it makes me feel warmer :-)

[@nothere7198]

Perhaps another little heads up for some that I came across while looking into it, the performance is for sea level application, no surprise being a marine product 🙂 A reviewer was impressed by it until it went out after a few minutes. Turns out the orifice is too small for altitude (they were using it in a mountain cabin at about 5800 feet elevation). But Dickenson got them sorted pdq with a new orifice. Probably won't affect you Slim but good to know the solution is out there and Dickenson will help.

Just in case, you might want to put some silicone sealant on your roof around the cap...

[@bonnieuptree5691]

I have a question. I'm in need of a small heater. I am currently using a "Buddy propane heater" , BUT , because of the condensation, EVERYTHING stays wet. I can't see out of the windows and my blnakets, even though wool, feel soggy and Cold. I think, but not sure, that your stove being vented outside, wouldn't make me feel like I am in a rainforest. Mostly, though, doe's it HAVE to have the electric fan to work ?? I dont have electric. I don't want it , and I can't tolerate any fan, even a small quiet one.....ok. i guess actually two questions. Make it 3. About what price range will I be looking at ?.. thank you for the install video. Seems completely doable to me. 👍🙂

[@todddunn945]

The install looks great. I have had your heater's big brother (P12,000) for many years on my boat and it works flawlessly. As you noted it isn't a fast response heater, but given time it does the job. The psychological effect of the flame on a cold night is worth at least 5C. One suggestion, if it is a cold night, hang a curtain/blanket to block off part of the camper and the heater will do a better job of heating the sleeping area. Your feet won't get burned if they touch the heater as long as they don't touch the glass. The glass is the only part of my heater that gets too hot to touch.

[@volvo09]

I've always loved the Dickinson heaters, they are beautiful. Don't know if they still make it but there is another model that burns diesel (with no electricity), and it was the heater that introduced me to them. I really can't say how beautiful they are, they fit right in with a boats design and that makes them fit campers wonderfully also.

[@azclaimjumper]

Replies like yours is the reason I read & enjoy them almost as much as watching the video. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada.

I don’t throw around words like “genius” very often, but tonight I am using it and I stand by my assessment. You, sir, are a genius!!

Happy New Year and safe travels! -TN Nana❤

[@ndautomotive]

Can't wait to see the winter camping videos with the new heater. Looks like a quality product.

[@scothunter3221]

The spaghetti thing is brilliant! I’ll remember that one! I’ve used a Dickinson heater when I lived on a wooden sailboat in the PNW. With their stainless construction, they are really well-made, and perform quite excellent in the long term, at least in my experience. An absolutely excellent choice if you can afford one. One other thing, on several installations I’ve done of heaters I’ve used full-size commercial cookie sheets as the backing board. Really cheap and effective. Probably a little too big for your installation but others might find the idea useful. Thanks for the video. [edited to fix a few typo…]

[@redauwg911]

that install in the corner was just genius

[@sleeksilver]

I just wanted to say watching your videos always brings me joy.

👍👍👍👍👍, You never do anything halfway, pretty nice setup and a perfect fit for your rig. 1LB of LP for 7-8 hrs of heat is amazing actually.

[@patupham6134]

It’s like having a little fireplace in a little camper how cute 😊

[@nicodemuscg]

I knew this was going to be a slick install as soon as i saw the carpet tapped back to epoxy in the brace. I'd love to see in a follow up video some temperature readings of the bedding, walls, pipes and any other things around it you'd find relevant. I'd love to see also an impression of how much light it produces in a completely dark camper. Good stuff Slim!

Yes Slim, how's it look at bedtime? I imagine very sweet!

[@andrea.rivers]

That was hard to watch you drill the hole- I can't imagine how hard it was to make that initial plunge. Can't wait to see how well it performs in the "wild". Thanks for sharing!

[@laurenhoward8397]

Hi Slim! This is an awesome heater! One potential issue you might have is with the braided propane hose, depending on where you got it. I had an inexpensive propane hose from eBay going from my propane tank to my Coleman stove, and after a few camping trips I saw the performance of the stove decline substantially. The internal rubber of the hose was chemically reacting with the propane and an oily greasy substance appeared on the inside of it. That oily substance moved into my stove and gummed up the regulator on the stove and the burners. I picked up a better quality Mr. Buddy brand propane hose and have not had this problem since. I wouldn’t want your stove to get gummed up and not burn properly when you’re boondocking in subzero temperatures! You can avoid this issue with a high quality hose or by plumbing copper tubing instead.

[@johnm2056]

Mr buddy makes a filter and they require it's use on any extension used with a 20lb tank. There is one mr buddy house that doesn't need the filter however the filter is still recommended.

[@alyoko71]

hello Lauren! Mr Buddy heaters have made mention of this as well. The reason is that in a high pressure system, it can leach plasticizers out of the hose used in the manufacturing process. 3 ways to protect your equipment is either a low pressure system, an oil trap-filter (sold by Mr Buddy), or a plasticizer-free hose. (or plumb copper tubing as you mentioned)

[@johnspruit7296]

Very good advice. Thanks .

[@flyinggyros9745]

Hey Slim, as always your workmanship is impeccable. This is like an informational video for the company. Even though you bought this on your own I would think Dickinson might sent you a token of their appreciation. Great job of installing the unit. Alan

[@marcothehammer]

I agree and I think a lifetime supply of fuel for that stove is appropriate.💥

That’s a great looking stove. It looks like it was designed with style and built with pride. Nice work on the install!

[@tybrady1935]

The exhaust air preheats the air intake. That makes the heater even more efficient.

[@papajon62]

Well, it seems you missed your calling, Slim. You were born to be a Dickinson heater install tech! Got to learn about Robertson (Scrulox) fasteners today. I was kinda concerned about those curtains being so close to it, but I guess it’ll be ok with the 2 inch recommended clearance. Great job and looks really nice with the flame 🔥

[@suerop]

Me, too. I think Slim should hold the curtains away from the heater with velcro or some two-sided tape. Makes me nervous. 😊

[@kimclark3931]

Yes! I’m panicked about the curtains near the heater! Slim, please keep safe, we don’t want to lose you!

[@avlisk]

I never had propane before this winter. I chose to spend more for a Martin propane heater just because it has a viewable flame. It does make a nice esthetic difference. FYI, my Martin uses no electricity (no fan) and heats my mini-cabin 120 sq. ft. room nicely in this Maine winter. It's 16,000 useable BTU. (PS Great video. You made the installation look easy!)

[@jsams4990]

Thanks for the tip about the Martin...I have an off grid so no power needed is attractive. I have woodstove so just want for cool mornings when I don't want to light the stove....wondering if the 11,000 btu will be enough...mine is 188sq ft...thoughts? I assume you have the 20? BYW, I'm just up the coast from you in Nova Scotia.

[@johndeavenport7593]

While you were patting yourself on the back, you forgot to mention the lack of humidity in the trailer & the exhaust is going up the out the pipe, looks like a excellent job of installing the stove. you did good!!!

[@johnnylightning1491]

Captain Q would be proud of you using a marine heater in your camper. It looks like a nice heater. As for the expense you tend to get what you pay for and it looks to be made from stainless so it should not rust and look good for a long time. Well done. Keep the good stuff coming Slim.

[@maobfh]

I have been wanting wood so that I won’t have to run into town to get propane and because a tiny stove (like the Dickinson) will burn small scraps of wood which can usually be found scattered on the forest floor, at the coast and even in abandoned campfires. But not always, sometimes it is illegal and I don’t want to pick up bugs that could accidentally be transported to a forest that is clear of destructive insects. I would also prefer a gas stove. It looks like you have convinced me to slide over to this one!!! Great video! Thanks!!!

[@martinavard2327]

That's your best install yet! Very well done. I can't wait to see your future winter rv camping videos.

[@marcothehammer]

The spaghetti is a great idea and something I'm surprised to have never seen before. I've seen tools and gadgets that work on the same principal but it's one of those things that most of us just don't have. Everything in our built environment is typically squared off and a few crude sketches will usually suffice but to accomplish the results you needed for your design had a lot of parameters to meet plus most of the ready-made gadgets simply aren't big enough to get you where you needed to get to. I will NEVER forget about "the old spaghetti trick"! And overall you've produced a great video. Thank you.

[@wsk38]

Nice job on the install Slim. Looks like a perfect fit for your needs. Can’t wait for the first camp trip!

[@Callsign-Blade_RunnerSG]

It’s design is beautiful and well thought out. Simplicity is the Ultimate Sophistication.

[@alecvette8295]

Great install as always, Slim. Can't wait to see how this performs in some cold weather while you're out camping. The design perfectly suits your liking. Even though it's perhaps not powerful enough to keep the camper red hot, I can't imagine that would be an issue to you, as you don't prefer keeping the camper hot anyway. I will be excitedly waiting to see how it performs in the negatives (°F). Safe travels!

[@mc-sp8zr]

Slim, your spaghetti contour gauge was genius and hilarious. That was awesome 👍

[@kaiendre]

Nice installation Slim. I have a dickinson in my boat runs with cerosine. But when I bought my little camper, a T@b 320 it came with a propane heater, a Truma S 2200. Very silent without a fan and it warms up quite fast. And I live in Norway, so that is very important. But mostly we use it in summer. Nice ro follow your videos. Thank you for your many ideas.

[@annhysell6064]

Congratulations, Slim! Love the spaghetti idea, (I almost bought that tool), a usual you found a perfect solution for $0. Looks so cozy. Be well & Happy New Year.

We had one in our tiny house in Arkansas, Yes we did also have a pot bellied stove, and did use to use an electric heater. When living in the boonies, high up , and only road to town would get black ice easily, too hard to travel on, So when ELECTRIC did go out for days , and wood for the pot bellied stove was running out , this little heater came in handy,.

[@chrisistocool1]

Mr Slim, I have some advice for you. To increase your efficiency in heating and cooling and you're not in the market to switch your windows for dual pane windows, then get your windows on your trailer tinted with weather thick tint. It's an affordable option, and it will work VERY effectively. The next slice of advice is that you may want to invest in a tank heating mat for your propain. If it gets too cold, it will not work efficiently. My final advice is that you may want to invest in a 7p propain tank. The tank brackets are super affordable and light weight. Thank you, sir, in advance for your time.

[@deaconmn]

As I started watching your video, I chuckled to myself, as I'm going to watch a nearly 30 minute video about someone installing a propane heater in his camper. The video didn't disappoint, I have a Scamp camper and the heater is quite noisy, so I did dream a little about putting in one like you have. Maybe someday. Keep up the great videos!

[@KieranMercerMusic]

Nice to see someone install this in a fiberglass trailer and give an honest review. I really wanted to get one for the flame but since you are saying it doesn’t get as hot as you like, I’ll stick with my stationary Chinese diesel heater. I have it installed under my front bench in my Boler. On its lowest setting it keeps my cabin super toasty in - temps

Nice little heater! I wonder if the top of it gets hot enough to operate one of the heat powered fans like you have on a wood stove? Might be enough to move the heat across the camper. Otherwise it’s a 12v one nearer the ceiling, I guess. You’ll have a nice spot to hang your gloves etc to dry out now, too. 👍🏻

[@SlimPotatohead]

Great idea! The top of the heater doesn't get too hot, but the flue is pretty warm. A glove warmer is a really good idea as I was thinking of making a higher backing board. I could just put a couple of hooks on it. Thanks! SP

@@SlimPotatohead so I was just wondering how hot does the pipe get where it goes out the top. Fabric plywood and fiber glass ? After 2 hours I guess it must be ok. Like to see you shoot it with an Infrared thermometer Just see how hot that thing gets. Happy new year. Love to meet you some time!
