I spoke to a man today who repairs and fits caravan, motorhome gas heaters and as soon as I mentioned Propex as an option he said “they are bulletproof, and last forever”.
I agree its a very reliable heater. Since making this video I have had many owners comment about how reliable the heater is and how pleased they are with it. Good engineering from the UK.

I installed garden hose end fittings on the end of my Propex exhaust and intake hoses secured with SS hose clamps and put brass caps on these fitting to prevent the hoses from getting filled with mud. My process is, remove brass caps by holding the SS clamps, open propane valve, turn on power to propex, turn the propex thermostat knob to high and then turn the upper knob to light. Since doing this a year ago I have not gotten any error codes and the propex heater starts every time on my 1991 VW camper. Most of my trips are on a majority of dirt roads.

Hi Cosmo! Great video for the archives...thank you. Looks like you're cleaning her up after a trip lol. Love my Propex HS2000 too! So far with mine I've only had the one code you normally get when the propene is disconnected or turned off which is expected and easily resets with the control panel. My HS2000 is mounted in a box on the roof under the roof rack so my intake and exhaust pipes are on the roof up and away from any mud and stuff so they've never gotten clogged... but if I need to get in and clear a code on the logic board I'll be outside and on the roof to do that so that part not as convenient as your location. Cheers and thanks for sharing!
Hey Todd. The heaters are great and the amount of enjoyment they provide really brings out he trailer charm and capability. Ya I still have north woods dirt on the rig. Glad to help! Regards =Cosmo
I always learn something when I watch your videos. Thanks for making them! My wife and I have our Vistabule on order; I first learned about them (and teardrop camping) from you. We are so looking forward to being part of the community of Vistabule owners. Thanks for all you do.

Super helpful video! I had my van converted for me, and they installed the heater beneath a bench cabinet. Accessing the heater means emptying the cabinet and removing the base. It's not impossible to get to, but since I've already had faults while living in my driveway I think I'm going to make some adjustments. I am planning on some pretty dirty trips myself and want to keep warm while I do it! I agree that it's really toasty when it's working, so comfy when it's cold outside.

The fuse is to protect voltage spikes/shorts in the thermostat circuit only. Those are < $1 from other sources. Not sure why they are selling them at 5X what I use to. Fault code reset changed from flame-off-flame to fan-off-fan (or vice versa, I forget). The fault reset button is a 2211 feature. CN18 is actually where that 2211 reset button connects but not on the 2000. You actually shouldn't need to use that function unless the pipes both got plugged and solid light is on. One other trick: that tiny red/orange jumper you see at 4:12 in the video, left of the red and yellow wires? Remove that and reset reverts to 'disconnect power and reconnect' to reset all faults. Far easier than the thermostat twist method. ;)
Hi Cosmo Weems! I am living out of a converted ambulance and currently in the Rocky Mountains, having trouble with my proper hs2800 heater! It is very similar to this you made the video about, SO grateful for your video!! Would you be open to having a more in depth conversation with me? I would love some advice about resetting my circuit board and I don't know anyone who has this kind of knowledge. It would be very greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for making this video!

I was once told enthusiasts that glamp in teardrop trailers have security issues and/or are not comfortable in a fabric tent. Which I totally understand; however, while that theory may have some validity but when it comes to heating and cooling it makes perfect sense to have something hard-sided. What was your motivation for a hard-sided structure vs a large, fabric tent? Me personally, I have camped in to both a tent and my vehicle. I prefer the van in the winter solely because I'm out the elements when sleep. In the summer, I would love to be in my van but there is no way to stay cool enough to be comfortable. Also, critters and criminals roam a lot more during summer and I fear harm or death when I sleep and feel I am at a disadvantage.
Ha ha ha! Have been camping since I was 5 in all modes from a space blanket and a Spork to a trailer. At some point the camper has to stop contemplating their naval and go out an just do it. I get loads of warnings about Black bears I photograph. There is less than one Black bear confrontation in the USA a year. There are than 16,000 human/human murders a year.
