Ah that paper insulated hose again you get reinforced it’s not as cheep though🙈!! But we used it on air ducting to and from brake ducting !! And it’s way more flexible without kinking !!

Hi you get compression fitting for the hard plastic use the black as the clear is susceptible to UV degrading !! Also butting it up against input on pump inside some tube if bent can obstruct opening restricting flow !! The best on other fuel lines are crimp ones you get a more even distribution on the grip!! I used to do motorsport and all these that iv’e said are all tested and proven as we’ve all gone through that with fuel lines especially on fuel injected engines as re pressure !! Also same on any air lines like on air jacks same plastic tube with pressure fittings !! 👍

What is the cable thickness for negative/pozitive 12v? I see you used single red and single black cables. Can you please tell me the thickness, size?

This is exactly how I'm building mine. I was going to go down the road with an automatic transfer switch. But as my inverter is IT grounded and new regs on bidirectional protection devices, I popped my head into the rabbit hole and thought stuff this. Without making the system to test each possible fault and protection for safety I thought it was better just to keep the two systems separate. Good to see you have a 2 pole MCB 💪🏼

Is the "Thunderbolt " system the same as "hook locks?".

I asked the makers about the smash proof covering used in n home windows & they said the product isn't ready for autos yet.

Awesome tips!

How come you stopped this bvan build?

Can I ask. Is it the long wheel base or medium wheel base? Love the video. Thank you.

Hi great video. Thanks for sharing. Can you advise if the OBD port safe that you fitted comes with the relocation mounting bracket that we saw in your video or did you make the bracket? Keep up the great work 👍

Regarding the nylon fuel line and the click clicking from the fuel pump. You suggest to “soft mount” the fuel line to reduce the fuel pump clicking sound. Could you please explain what soft mounting means? A valuable video, so thank you.

Whilst removing someone else’s work you wonder what their logic was when they did the work in the first place.

These were standard issue in the vintage campers - mine is a 1969 Travco Dodge A108 and I still have the original pipes and mounts. Just need to recanvas it

The bodge will trap moisture against the metal and rust from the inside out again. seam sealer and paint is a way better option fyi, cracking vid tho 👍

Hi did you fill in the holes at the bottom along the sides.

A Stoplock Pro Steering Wheel lock is very very difficult to remove (more than 5 mins with a grinder attack) and a highly visible deterrent. £55. For me it pays to advertise that the van has extra security, so thieves don’t even try.

Do I have to run a negative back to the fuse board? Or could I ground at a local point of the vehicle body?

If you can't find an air inlet pipe that is more robust consider to attach a larger steel pipe around it for protection.

Did yours come with a manual??? I can’t find any installation instructions on the website

Clear, concise,detailed and extremely well explained. I will definitely be using this during my van build. Many thanks!

hi and thanks im finding that its cheaper to buy 2 x 130ah batteries than 1 x 220ah , would running 2 of these in seies be safe and just the same?

At 9:56 - where do you get these "Titan grips" from?? I need some!! Thanks for sharing the video :)

Your get plenty of rain under the overhang if driving in the rain

Great simple design. Really liked it. Thanks

What was the advertised kW rating of the burner you tested?

Hey Hugh, awesome vid. Thanks. I just bought a boxer men to do the same so great to find this. A favour to ask - any chance of posting a link to the captain seats please??

Συνολικά πόσο σου κόστισαν όλα;

Anybody grom the midlands that can do this for me? I have the glass

Every power should be fused and your supply to fuse box isn't

I would be nice if you talked about maintenance, because that's where Truma is a no-go for me. Because Truma does not consider or care about the end user, they do everything needed to seduce manufacturers to buy their products. Truma is NOT interested one bit in the end user : ZERO information on how to service your unit yourself, and the ONLY way to service the unit is to take it out entirely, disconnect all lines and electrical wires. So if you have a truma, you are going to have to travel to one of 3 states that have a truma service provider, bring them your truma and pay them to service it. If you live in your RV full-time, expect to do this yearly at a minimum. Once I had forgotten that I had shut off my propane line to the truma and got an error. I tried again once, then realized my issue, put the gas back on but the truma did not start at my next try (likely needed a couple of tries before it worked again). But then had another error, undocumented in my manual. Saturday, high altitude below freezing camping, no heat, no hot water, no info, no support available. Monday I called my dealer and he had to contact truma to know what the error was. Truma said it required a hard reset at a dealer / service facility. BUT there was nothing wrong with my truma nor my propane. So truma decided to build their product to stop working for good even if everything is fine and to provide no recourse. Again, this goes against the point of RVing. So terrible company that is good at one thing : building a product that manufacturers want to buy. For the rest, they do not care.

Through my single burner induction testing, you can use anywhere from 6ah-15ah of battery for each meal. Most of the time I'd use 10ah total. So as long as you have an extra 100ah of battery available, that's 10 meals, or 3 days worth without any charging at all. This is fantastic for the average user. But, if you're a foody that LOVES cooking, I'd stick to propane. Cause you can get an RV propane OVEN which is awesome.

Hi i put in a 5kw that f the fuse, no ideas whats up with it, i put in another fuse but nothing works it doesn't light up or work in any way , so putting in a 2 kw, does anyone know if the wiring harnesses are the same

Thank you for making this so darn simple! Everything else is like a darn physics lesson

So many complaints about the spelling of mould. In the UK we spell it Mould not Mold.

I run my diesel heater from my engine battery, I think it would flatten my leisure battery quickly, I run the engine in my motorhome while it's starting, consuming must power, till it quietenes after about 5 minutes, then I turn my engine off, so the power comes back to the habitation section of my fiat Ducato coach built motorhome..( stupid idea) anyway, how long can I run the diesel heater ( on low ) before it flattens the battery ? Thanks 🙏

Great explanation nice and easy, keep it simple 👍

I suppose if you want the relaxed way of life it’s obviously worth it… so I guess plan ahead if you buy one.

3:05 Control box Earth goes to the vehicle chassis yet there's no mention of where the battery Earth gets connected to?

Someone just gifted me one because I'm starting FT (mini) van life. Thanks for this info. I'm still not convinced in a small space but it is a smaller alcohol stove. It'll be fun camping anyway! And or Emergency heat.

Dangerous without fusing the battery positive.

How to start Chinese diesel heater

the door handle plate only needs to be on the drivers side i believe but very informative especially OBD lock

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ICE CREAM

Hi there, I am Kathy. Is the AGM better than lithium?

Hi might be wrong but Im pretty sure you only need to fit the anti drill plate on door handles with a key hole as it is the manually key locking mechanism that they are trying to flip with a screwdriver when they punch through. Also great tip on the obd reader i have just purchased and fitted one . Works a treat. Bit pricey for a tiny safe😂 but worth every penny if it slows the low life thieves 😊

Dope! Mine compact also. czcams.com/video/6hMsPMdogfY/video.htmlfeature=shared
