Many variables people don't consider when they're doing this. The glues, epoxy resins, ect used to build rv's are extremely flammable and many especially in older rv's emit toxic gasses when they reach higher Temps. You can absolutely have a woodstove in your rv you just need to understand all the variables.
The only questions that I have are about the hole in the ceiling of the RV: 1. What about re-sealing the hole, for times when it's not necessary to use the stove (Summer). 2. How do you prevent the stove pipe from making direct contact with the sleeve? I see the screws, but they only seem to help below the ceiling. 3. When the stove pipe gets black and discoloured, can you replace it with another type of pipe that's less susceptible to the effects of heat? Thanks for posting! 🍺😋👍
I'm no expert but... 1. In theory, one could make a cap of some sort. To cover the bit sticking out. So you could take off the chimney top for a lower profile. Possibly even make an insulated housing for it. Of course you'd want to do this while the system is cool. Lol 2. Usually for wood stoves they make actual double wall flues. Kinda (but not exactly) like those double wall thermoses. Looks like his was a bit homemade. Maybe just fitted with an air gap. You could probably find one that is made for the job. 3. Your best bet might be to go with 2.
This is definitely not something to play around with, installation codes required the top of the stove pipe to be at least 1 foot above the roof line. If you want 3" double wall flu you can order it on line from cubic mini wood stoves. I have the grizzly model and had it permanently installed in a 28' class c motorhome and it worked great.
@@DerrikNikkelStudios I have another question sorry if its a long one but we put a tarp over top our 5th wheel cost was sky high for metal one do you think we should poke thru it for chimney or stay under it my guess from top of chimney opening to tarp will be like 2ft
You are going to kill both of you! I was a professional woodstove installer, even if you had used u.l. Listed chimney you still need two inches of clearance to combustibles! And what’s with the cookie sheet for a wall protector? Seriously do a safer install please!
It is not possible to measure on an unpainted shiny metal surface with an infrared thermometer. Put on a piece of masking tape or paint it black. A shiny metal surface measures the temperature reflected in it, for example your own body temperature.
Hi, thanks for sharing that. That is totally awesome! Thank you for showing the amount of heat it is giving out in the different areas.
My pleasure!
Yes it is safe, if you take the proper precautions

Tell me more
This is the first time I watched this and I want to see more of your videos.

Winnerwell has the jack and Tripple pipe section to do it right.

Well, if that's true, then it definitely addresses one if my concerns. Gotta look into it.
wow I was actually worried thanks so much
No worries 😊

Kick ass! Keep safe!
thanks, i needed to know this!
No worries
Duuuudeeee….so much weeeeeed!!!…😂
I'd be sure to put a carbon monoxide alarm in there.
What's up man I'll be out there soon looks like a good time. Rock on!!!
That’s great man🤟

I question your install and if drugs were involved and your skills on taking temperatures with that type of tool
People make a fuss even though you are all metal, clearances are good and temps are measured reasonable. Measure Kiki, she looks hot.
Hey was that single wall. Pipe or double?
I have a broken right front passenger window. Thoughts on coving it with plywood & running flew pipe out of it ?
It could be done for sure
@@DerrikNikkelStudios Thank you Derrick 👍
Do it heat up the whole RV or do you still need a space heater
It heated the whole 27’ trailer, had to open windows and/or roof vents sometimes to regular the temperature but other than that it was great
What about the temp of the stones and the metal behind the stove and the floor and wall?
I can’t make a new video to show that it burned down shortly after this was uploaded
@@DerrikNikkelStudios is this a joke? Are you serious? Did the stove burn it?
@@deathisbeautiful1034 ya jk lol but I don’t have it anymore to do a new video but good call totally should have got reading on thoes spots as well
Did you make your stove?
Yes
Does anyone know which insurance company will insure your motorhome after a wood stove is installed?
Icbc
Insurance is a scam ,live your life and do what you need to do. You got this , just be smart , and safe , and trust divine.
What wood stove?
@@jimscycleandautotn8508 Insurance is a scam? Hope you never destroy any of my property with that attitude.
@@StevenZagaris poor thing , that's the only thing you got out of that comment , I'll pray for you
What kind of pipe system were you using on your stove that's my big question and the second are you still alive
Are you a marijuana user?
Who calls it that and no
Wow great dialogue
@@ekindemirkaya465 thanks 😊
How how much meth do you need to complete a project like that?
None at all, just skills and a welder
I was thinking the same.
