Diesel Heater in my 2022 Jayco Journey Outback 22ft Caravan (22.68-1 OB.JY MY22)
I install a Chinese diesel heater in my 2022 22ft Jayco Journey Outback.
For the install I went with the PPAP 3kw model from eBay, slightly more expensive than the other Chinese heaters but i got a 2 year warranty.
Here it is - ebay.us/IBJl6f
Also got the tank cover from Yarra Supply on eBay.

What's your opinion 1 year later after install ???
Still going hard mate, no issues at all
Mount the tank at the front on draw bar same side as car and you can fill both at once
Yeah i thought about that but then i'd need to have the fuel pump right near the bed, and it's way too noisy
Mine aren't so lucky. I installed this system (platform E) on my MUX and it generates a vibration on the roof at my sunglasses console causing it to rattle at about 80km onwards. And this is with the wind deflector that came with the kit. Without it, the vibration is ridiculous at speeds over 60km/h. Not sure if you done this but when you at speeds over 90kms and you put your hand on the roof lining just above your rearview mirror, do you feel vibrations?
Oh that sucks mate, and no vibration issues on mine
My 75l has been holding up fine
Yeah mines still going hard. Just finished 10 months around Aus 💪
I’m in the USA we’re can I. Buy the back bone since I already have. Platform
Not 100% certain mate, you could try Ebay? www.ebay.com.au/itm/285108764461?hash=item4261ce7f2d:g:1IkAAOSwEJ5k0FGP&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4Bbhqq%2FhgMaAHu1MIG3JXAt3PyXIfInUftO3s%2FQBxRf3ANomTcRxlskHSsGgYRLrynvXc1KNhnPm86BJ2GdeozhnGiELjSjgzjcDJ5HwJa4R0%2BIq5rOap6w5EL5%2BuR3LJlNcjh9omwPU2frfYqFONEfYmpHZ42QRgfqKNW7SuRwxrUR0sGiiyIDhtQadTf5n4V0k6S1E0%2B%2B8yEgM0KLCu6sKuZgkbURDXh31PBhZ5vcIEFHpFwvLnSxR9axbqxirGNpObgc0q9D0PZmh81%2BFvtlUf7vn4ecBjabz72JOKW6W%7Ctkp%3ABFBM5peay7ti
My 2015 crewmax tundra wood look very good with this
Looks neat but the control panel should have the temp sensor on meaning if the cupboard is closed it continues to run ?
Never really thought about that to be honest. But no it seems to work fine, the heater runs until the room heats up and then bumps back to an idle.
Hey mate. So can you turn 1 bin off while the other one is still running? Assuming this would save a lot of power? And what power consumption are u getting?
You can now mate. The app was updated not long after I made this video. It was always available on IOS but not on Android. Now it's on both. As for power consumption I'm not too sure I haven't tested it sorry.
I found the German heaters efficient but blower motor wears out after about 2500 hours and they carbon up very easily, probably because of our different quality diesel. Very expensive to overhaul. I bought three Chinese heaters for half the price of a German heater . Almost identical units. The Chinese heaters are very cheap to overhaul and burn cleaner and have a longer time between overhauls. If you are handy the blower motors can be disassembled and rebuilt, bearings and brushes, for about $12. Gaskets and burner screens are readily available and cheap. It is worth carrying spare blower motors and burner screens and gaskets and it takes about 1 hour to overhaul these heaters. Be very aware not to cut electrical power while the heater is on as this will destroy the fan that feeds the burner. The diesel unit are great heaters and with good maintenance and necessary replace of some parts keep going. I have had these for about 10 years ( German ) and 5 years +(chinese😊) if you have your heater going all night make sure to do calculation on your power consumption as the low voltage cutout on some of these will stop the heater at 10 volts. I sometimes run the heater with kero / diesel mixture to clean out the carbon buildup but I do this on a test stand NOT mounted in a van. Beware the pump is lubricated with diesel and using any other fuel can shorten the life of the pump. Dust build up on the intake screen and the temperature sensor can cause an over heat error. Safe travels!
Mate you are a wealth of information, thankyou for all of that!
All the chinese heaters are alike. Sometimes you get a lemon. I just bought 2 identical - 5kw heaters from walmart. @$90 each i have a parts heater.
Can't go wrong with that!
To get cable up into the top cupboards, I just used a bit of stick on 1/4 round conduit. Looks neat and don't even notice there anymore. Here's a video on it..... czcams.com/video/Bp_-7BXnZ70/video.html
Thanks mate!
I bought 2 veveos... they are identical to yours. Same parts same everything... you’d think the Chinese would vary them a bit more so you could tell they all come from the same place
No difference hey, maybe a fancier housing or a 30c sticker for the front of it like my PPAP.
@@outandaboutoz yep they are the same.. but I just used it last night. Snow, then 3 days of 80’s f and now snow..crazy weather but the heater works good. Can’t wait to get the second one installed
Hi mate did you mean Vevor? I'm looking at them too
Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are two different gases. Use Both detectors.
Awesome thank you, not a lot of videos are this quick and good.
Thanks Rich, appreciate that!
Just about to install one on my Dmax. Thanks for the tips!
No worries mate, enjoy!
For an rv set up where is the 12v so I have to run my inverter all the time when out bush off grid . That’s the only down side I can see with the Starlink .
Correct. There are a few people on CZcams that have successfully converted there Starlink to 12v. For me its no issue to run from an inverter. Hopefully future iterations of Starlink RV provide a 12v provision.
@@outandaboutoz It's not difficult to convert to 12v or 24v. The easiest and and first step is to buy the Starlink adapter and the rest does not involve opening up the router or cutting any cables. It is NOT difficult.
Good review mang - just got one so keen to go out and use it.
Hope you enjoy it!
Hi there, thanks for the video. I see you have a poly tub liner in rear of ute. Did you use Rivet insert nuts to fasten down the fridge slide? I am wondering if the insert nuts are long enough to fix firmly given that they have to go through the tub liner and metal base of tub?
Hi Mate, it's a rhino liner. I drilled through and used nuts and bolts to secure it down.
traveling full time working on the road. City's and rural areas with good 4g/5g then Telstra nighthawk 6 pro is my go to with a mimo 5g/4g antenna on the van. where starlink is truely a god send is anywhere inland +100kms from coasts. That's where I fall short and hopefully starlink rv will mean i dont have to keep just to areas marked with good 4/5g reception. im a gamer though so worried about the latency consistency while gaming.
I've had quite good experience even in populated areas. I was at Discovery Parks Lane Cove last week and had a good reliable connection. Was able to work and video call.
Thanks for a great review :) Am helping someone set up a starlink in a Caravan for laptop zoom streaming.... So I need at much advice as possible. I'd expect heaps of WiFi cross channel interferance in a residential area like that..... So many WiFi signals all screaming at the unit on the same or close by channels. You'll find a very different result once away from random WiFi networks.... Please do a follow up video of signal speed (and streaming quality) once you get 'out & about' .... Thanks heaps 😃
Will do and thanks for the reply! We're hitting the road on Sunday so updates to come!
I'm in Brisbane outskirts suburbs and latency is shocking looking to invest in one of these bad boys and get outta the Devil's contract with the Telcos and their slow speeds 😂
Yeah could be worth it, hopefully the network doesn't get too congested and cause issues in the cities!
I'm looking to do the same in the Brisbane outskirts! I've only got FTTN nbn available (max of 48mbps) and no 5g. nbn doesn't have our suburb listed as one that will be getting FTTP upgrade any time soon. Did you get Starlink and is it working well?
@@outandaboutoz My understanding is congestion shouldn't be a problem. Like NBN Fixed Wireless, Starlink only allow x amount of users per cell. Shouldn't be a problem but any internet other than fttp is a lottery. If your in a cell with a good amount of greedy users you may suffer. If you're in a cell with a bunch of pensioners and luddites, you should be fine. Now RV accounts are a different story. You are using the cell you happen to be in. I think it's now called Roaming. Anyway, you are de-prioritised vs Residential accounts so you only get what's left over in any cell. Can be bad in cities and big towns for example but out west or doin' the loop and you might very well be the only one in a cell or only a handful of users then you're golden mate.
good review; simple things make a big difference. Would you recommend buying it? I'm looking at home but see mixed reviews.
Yeah mate, mines is still going hard.
Great video. Have u heard any feedback in regards to a light bar at the front of the platform? Cheers
Thanks Adam, not that I have seen, it would be super easy to mount though.
Hey mate, did you experience any ticking or vibration noise inside the cab, coming from your mounting points? Did you install it with Sikaflex/Loctite? I have just installed my platform and backbone and am getting an irritating ticking noise above 80km/h, it is driving me mental.
Hey mate, no issues here. Yes I used the Loctite to secure it. What sort of antenna do you have? On my old roof rack I found my flexible/black antenna that is mounted just above my windscreen was hitting my roof rack and making noises at around 60+km/hr. I just had to push it down a bit further. Hope you get it sorted.
@@outandaboutoz you're a legend, I hail Mary'd that it was my antenna last night and low and behold it was. Got a new stubby one and she is silent. Thanks for getting back to me!
Awesome mate!
Nice video mate! Two things...I think you mentioned you didn't used the riv nuts... what did you use? And, what watch is that?
Thanks Marty, I went and got some 6mm galvanised bolts, washers and nylock bolts from Bunnings. The watch is a Garmin Fenix 5x Sapphire, can't fault it here I never take it off and the glass is still fine, the new ones are even more impressive - amzn.to/3KKQKLe
740mm to the back, for the front i cant hear what exactly lenght pls give me?
295mm to the front and do 25mm each way for the cut out to make room for the feet that are 45mm wide
Hi guys, we noticed you made this tut using the old version. Yes we have made massive improvements in the new v7. Have you tried that. V7.0.8 is the latest.
I have the new version but the pin icon is now grayed out on my PC version. It seems that I need to be connected to GPS for it to work ? That's fine on the tablet but not a home PC.
I'll jump on and have a look and do an updated video
I have to put parts of my treks in as cycling as the app won’t allow it in driving mode along the tracks it will just show a direct line to the next waypoint. Which is annoying because it throws the eta out massively.
@@PKrangerdanger in that case, you can change the avg speed calculated for cycling before accepting the route calculation - ie. just type over the number with a more realistic avg for vehicle driving.
@@wwfgumby if the Pin is greyed out it means you haven't installed the Places database - just go into the data Manager and check - you can download the Places database and this will work.
Thanks for posting this. I'm new to the app and as a new user, have found that most aspects of the app are good BUT the most fundamental thing; planning a trek, is clunky. I hope they make this more user friendly as most of the time, we are creating our own personal treks and not using the pre-planned ones.
Agreed mate, planning a Trek is so painful!
there is a video tutorial here czcams.com/video/kuEgw3izlRY/video.html just published yesterday so fully up todate
Hey mate, Good vid! Regarding the cable issue, get yourself an ARB CABLE GUIDE. $25 and your cable will never pinch or get caught.
Mate, gold idea, thankyou!
Can these just run on 12v. As in cigarette lighter plug
Sure can, they come with an Anderson plug to cigarette socket adapter
Nice work mate, thanks for posting this video.
Thanks Mark, appreciate it
Pretty sure you can turn either side off. I can on mine anyway.
Hi Dave, since this video I have discovered you can only turn individual sides off on the Apple app, not android
@@outandaboutoz ok no worries, I have Apple.
@@davo002 yep works perfect on Apple!
Glad I found your video. I have been considering a Rhino backbone platform but had reservation on the engineering of drilling holes and using pop rivets. A $1700 Rhino roofrack that can only carry 30kg just doesn’t make sense!
Absolutely mate, Tyler Thompson and Ronny Dahl do great videos on it. I just got back from the Cape, did the Tele track and the Creb track and didn't have a single issue with this rack set up
Hi thanks for the video and idea. Any update for your final pick? I am also comparing those two racks.
Hi Jarad terrific comprehensive honest video. Lookn for a slide for my Engel 45. Thanks for taking the time to do the review. Helped me heaps.
Thanks David!
A little common sense will fix all your problems. The way you have set yours up is pretty crappy. Do a better job and you won’t have any more problems.
Thanks for such a wonderfully insightful comment, have a good one.
Mate, I've got the 100 litre one, same size, just a bit taller I think, love the bloody thing, running 2 years so far, every day, always cold drinks for me, and plenty of ice cream for the kids👍
Keeping the kids happy is the main thing!
Thanks for the review and video mate. Glad you like it and good feedback for us to pass on to the engineers here in Brisbane.
No problem, thanks again!
Great vid mate thanks. Why did you choose the Yakima over the rhino? They’re both so similar I’m not sure what to put on my LSU.
Thanks mate. There were a few reasons - I heard quite a few reviews that the backbone and rhino platform are quite noisy - it's a fair bit cheaper than the Rhino set up - I prefer the orientation of the Yakima platform, the bars run side to side, rather than front to back, this is supposed to help with wind noise. - Yakima provide the rubber strips and little wind deflector as standard, it's not an optional accessory at extra cost And it looks pretty sweet too
@@outandaboutoz thanks Jared. Do you happen to still have the part number/s for the system?
