nice video.. but u should have ate that out the pan with bread to mop it up.... pouring it onto a cold plate with all them juices left in the pan broke my heart 😢 lol
Thanks for the detailed temperature info, that’s what I was looking for. I think you can switch the control to a temperature setting. It will be in Celsius, but 20°C is about 68°F and the unit will ramp itself up or down to get the temperature setting.
I can't believe it took me so long to actually find and start watching your channel. I've seen it as a suggestion many times, but I have so many other content providers that I watch already, I just didn't think I needed to add another one. however, none of my regular guys are posting anything right now, so I figured I'd check you out. I saw where your channel name came from and immediately subscribed and started watching videos. we live in the same town. in fact, I'm just about a half a mile north of where you made this video, off Cole road. crazy coincidence. anyway, I like what I've seen so far and will continue to pay attention to your channel. thanks for posting.
Thanks for taking the time to do this. I think you have me sold on one of these because of the fact that it’ll just keep running steady during the night.
These are great little heaters , I have one in my truck camper and live in my camper full time in the mountains living my ski bum life ...but they are not stealthy at all , they do have aloud start up phase and the fuel pump clicks away loudly when running ....other than that a great little heater ....
Stealth is more difficult but not totally out of the question. My 2KW is pretty quiet on a low setting. That said, they still make noise. I'm sure the larger units are louder. As far a s the pump, I got creative and it's pretty quiet now. Basically mounted it in a enclosed box with foam surrounding it (waterproof camera box). Thanks for watching!
Like you said it's a work in progress brother keep doing what you're doing I enjoy watching the video myself I've got a suburban I'm getting ready to start doing some boondocking in enjoy your day brother ✌️
Hi mate just subscribed to your channel ,I'm from the UK 🇬🇧 ,I do a bit of stealth camping in my vauxhall astra van. I follow quite a few camping channels from all over UK ,USA ,Canada ,and more Good video buddy keep it going 👍
Good stuff. Hope that diesel heater works out for you long term. I too can't stand the Buddy heaters which is what I use now, they are so inefficient and the condensation is the worst. My friend uses a small electric 750/1500W space heater (which he runs by a generator outside the truck) which really works great and I was considering going that route. Obviously that wouldn't work for stealth camping but I don't do any of that anyway. I may have to look in to these diesel heaters a little more though. Keep us updated on it.
If I know I'll have access to an outlet, such as in a campground, I like the electric heater too. I have a small space heater with a thermostat that works very well. The issue is only a few of the campgrounds out west in my area have power. But electric is definitely the easiest in that case. Thanks for watching, it's appreciated!
Good stuff for sure. I have recently been gifted a diesel heater and am installing it in my truck camper. Easy to digest content. Simple enough analysis on fuel consumption.
Just stumbled across your channel. Watched the tour and a few others. Enjoyed a lot, liked your descriptions and rational on everything. Pleasant surprise. New sub, liked all of them.
Great video !! Your the only stealth diesel camper I’ve seen. Thanks !! I’m interested in how big your battery is and how many days you can go on 1 charge. I might try mine in the driveway at home.
I slept in my truck for 3 weeks in NY. However, I parked at indoor parkings in the city or at truck stops but never in empty parking lots like you’re doing in this video!
Back when I was homeless and sleeping in my truck I was lucky enough to have a pilot 5 mins away from my small town so that’s where I’d normally sleep at they didn’t seem to mind
It seems to be getting tougher and tougher to find places that allow overnight parking. I utilize parking lots to sleep on my road trips and fishing adventures. 10 years ago, there were a lot less "No overnight parking" signs. Now, it takes me a bit to find a place depending on where I'm at. Luckily truck stops are still an option. Thanks for watching.
I use something similar in my big rig. I would suggest buying a tuneup kit to keep on hand. The filter on the unit will clog up over time and the fuel pump can go out. I keep a backup heater in case I need it. Like all the videos you are sharing.
@@Outside605 some call it that but techs call it the igniter. But all that should be in a tuneup kit. I'm looking at setting my F150 up like yours to camp in. I would like to take a side-by-side out to New Mexico and Arizona to play in the desert. Maybe do some winter camping also.
Wanting to do camping in this fashion traveling between Florida property and home in Iowa. Not against using a campground if absolutely necessary but it would be nice to just park somewhere, relax, eat, sleep, and back on the road. The diesel heater seems like a must have item for the time of year I’m traveling, usually fall/winter. Liked and subbed!
Thanks for watching. The diesel heater was a fun little project but it’s not practical for everyone. If you’re going to use it, it’s a great addition to a truck bed. Sounds like it would work for you. Safe travels!
Absolutely. It's been great. Roughly 30 nights spent in the truck over the winter and zero issues starting or running. For the price and where it's made, I'm quite surprised but wont complain about it. Thanks for watching.
I enjoyed the video on your diesel heater very interesting stuff you published about the temperatures and the usage of the heater could you post a link to that heater or more info on where to buy one thanks
Thank you. I bought it off eBay. It's a "Vevor" brand but I'm thinking a lot of these imported heaters are the same manufacturer. Thanks for watching. www.ebay.com/itm/264409820083
I did have to cut a hole unfortunately. A single 4" hole to mount the turret plate to. If I ever decide to sell the truck, I'll tack the knockout back into place. Thanks for watching!
I would consider your stealth trip a success however you might want to re engineer the pump. There was a cotinous low thumping noise throughout the whole video! If I didn't know any better it sounded like the bass beat in one of the brotha's ghetto cruiser! 🤣😅
I've lived near this Walmart for about 15 years now, and I used to shop there a lot. before the pandemic of course. anyway, I used to always see RVs parked out in the southeast corner of the parking lot. I don't know if the sign saying no parking are new, or they just don't really care about enforcing them.
I try to keeps things on the up and up if you will. I don't want anyone knocking on my window at 2 am telling me to leave haha. I might try it one of these days. Thanks for watching!
I added a link to the specific heater I used in the description. I also have another video that shows the install more clearly. Thank you for watching!
From an engineer standpoint if that's a fuel line making that noise. You need to put a massive fitting in-between the main line to the heater. That way it's not sucking so hard to get fuel it will stop thuding. Not too long but long enough to where fuel can be stored between the heater itself and the main line. That should stop the auction thuding.
I will check your channel but is there a video of install or when you pull out your sleep setup? I’m not crazy about drilling an exhaust hole in the bed
This was a great video! I'm in the process of building out my truck for camping and overlanding. I was wondering if a diesel heater could be used in a camper shell, and how well it would work. Very helpful video. I probably won't have much space for it, and I would probably mount the tank underneath where my spare tire used to be. But this was of great interest!
It doesn't shut off unless you turn it off. It does have a timer function that shuts it off after a set amount of time though. I recently added another video which shows how I quieted down the clicking fuel pump. The pump clicks fairly loudly unless you get creative with mounting it. Mine is in a padded camera hard case that works well. Thanks for watching!
I didn't run mine like that but I'm guessing you could. If you watch my recently added video, I show in more detail how the heater is mounted and set up. As far as fuel goes, it maybe used 1/4 to 1/3 of a gallon to run all night (8 ish hours). Thanks for watching!
I always keep the window in the front of the shell open. It's the window that goes toward the truck cab (probably 14"x14"). Fresh air is always good in a small space.
It’s my mic that’s extremely sensitive. The pump makes a little noise but barely audible at all. The mic really amplifies the actual noise. Thanks for watching
nice video.. but u should have ate that out the pan with bread to mop it up.... pouring it onto a cold plate with all them juices left in the pan broke my heart 😢 lol
Haha, good advice. Thanks for watching.
You have answered, all of my questions on diesel heaters for this coming winter!Cool!🙂👌
Great to hear!
I just bought one of these going crazy to try it out I hope it’ll heat my C class, Thanks for the review keep up the good work
Good luck on the install and thanks for watching!
AWESOME ADDITION TO YOUR TRUCK CAMPING. EASY AND CHEAPER THAN THE BUDDY HEATER.
It sure is! Thank you.
Thanks for the detailed temperature info, that’s what I was looking for. I think you can switch the control to a temperature setting. It will be in Celsius, but 20°C is about 68°F and the unit will ramp itself up or down to get the temperature setting.
Thanks for the advice. I’ll have to play around with the settings a little more to see what it’s capable of.
Appreciate you watching 👌

Very much appreciated. It's comments like these that keeps me making content. Thanks for the views and the sub.
Nice setup Andy 👍
Thanks buddy.
It may have been 63° BUT, you also had the coleman stove running. 🤭
True. But on high, it will heat you right out of there even in below zero temps. It's a great little heater.
Thanks for the video. The only downside of diesel heater is that you have to make a hole in the truck bed!
Exactly. Took a little nerve to drill the hole but happy with the results. Thanks for watching 👌
Nothing that a little patch welded in can’t fix if you ever sell the truck
Great video !! Your the only stealth diesel camper I’ve seen. Thanks !!
I’m interested in how big your battery is and how many days you can go on 1 charge. I might try mine in the driveway at home.
Thanks for watching! I’ve run it 3-4 days (at night) on a single charge. I have a 100ah Lithium deep cycle battery.
I slept in my truck for 3 weeks in NY. However, I parked at indoor parkings in the city or at truck stops but never in empty parking lots like you’re doing in this video!

Thank you!! I need to get some new content out there.
Great video,gives me a new idea for heating my camper shell
Awesome. Good luck on the build and thanks for watching!

Good video dude.
Thank you. Much appreciated!
Helpful information, thanks 👽
Glad it was helpful!
T off the spout make hole for the driver cab to keep toasty so you won’t freeze try to start up
Good idea. Thanks for watching.
Now get a auto start for your pickup and it will be warmed up before you get into it.
Luckily the truck has that. I use it fairly often. Thanks for watching!

I can’t wait to build out a new rig in the future keep me posted on how this does over time?
Will do. Longevity is definitely the question.
I have the same 2KW heater - it's amazing Dry heat will never cause condensation unlike Wet heat aka Gas
Absolutely. It's been great. Roughly 30 nights spent in the truck over the winter and zero issues starting or running. For the price and where it's made, I'm quite surprised but wont complain about it. Thanks for watching.

Great video! Thanks for sharing! I assume you had to cut through your truck bed to install your diesel heater? Cheers! 👍🏻🍻🇺🇸
I did have to cut a hole unfortunately. A single 4" hole to mount the turret plate to. If I ever decide to sell the truck, I'll tack the knockout back into place.
Thanks for watching!
Have you taken this out to use your truck yet? It would me interesting to see how long it takes and how you deal with the hole.
Great video 👍

I ordered it off eBay. Specifically it's a "Vevor" brand but I'm thinking they might all be the same.
Hey Andy
Hi were did you find the heater? Mark from Ohio Hope you can help
Hello, it's on ebay. here is a link to the exact model.
ebay.us/IJw00w
Nice video, does the heater shut off and does it make the clicking noise ?
It doesn't shut off unless you turn it off. It does have a timer function that shuts it off after a set amount of time though. I recently added another video which shows how I quieted down the clicking fuel pump. The pump clicks fairly loudly unless you get creative with mounting it. Mine is in a padded camera hard case that works well. Thanks for watching!
I would pick Walmart and you can meet some "friends"
Post name and order info.
Great video. Could you strap the exhaust to the bottom of truck ex pipe.
How mu h fuel did it take.??
I didn't run mine like that but I'm guessing you could. If you watch my recently added video, I show in more detail how the heater is mounted and set up. As far as fuel goes, it maybe used 1/4 to 1/3 of a gallon to run all night (8 ish hours). Thanks for watching!
Don't you have to keep a window open a crack when you are cooking inside?
I always keep the window in the front of the shell open. It's the window that goes toward the truck cab (probably 14"x14"). Fresh air is always good in a small space.
Do you have to fill the diesel tank inside your truck camper?
Yes but I just take the nozzle from the pump and fill it inside the truck. My tank is right near the tailgate so it reaches just fine.
What's the pounding in the background. It's boom boom boom boom etc. I couldn't sleep with that pounding if that's the heater.
It’s my mic that’s extremely sensitive. The pump makes a little noise but barely audible at all. The mic really amplifies the actual noise. Thanks for watching
Where’s the smoke & co2 detector? Better safe then sorry.
It's a combo unit that's in there. If you watch some of my other videos I talk about it.
Thanks for watching.
Hi, do your remote come paired to your diesel heater?, or did you have to pair it?
This one didn't come paired. Had to do that myself. Thanks for watching.
Any diesel smell inside the sleeping area?
None at all unless you spill filling it up. Don’t ask how I know lol.
My question is do you live in that area?
As in the back of the truck? No, only on camping trips.
Hoping you're staying safe and using a carbon monoxide detector.
Yes sir. I attached it to the side I sleep on with Velcro to the carpeted headliner of the topper.
