- pt.4 Wiring and Finalizing install Nov. 03, 2020
Final placement for the heater. Finishing up the fire proof silicone caulking, and extending the wires for the battery and the thermostat.
Currently (nov.11,2020) the heater is not working great, tons of white smoke, keeps turning off and shutting down on its own, sometimes I get error codes but not every time. Error codes e-08 and e-10.

Suite case type diesel heaters should never be installed in a habitation area, if the exhaust pipe clip fails or loosens through expansion due to constant heating and cooling CO gas will enter your habitation space , its really not worth the risk.
Awesome, thank you. I'm getting voltage drops many suggest can be remedied by replacing power wire with 10/ga to within about 25cm of the heater. I don't know how to do so. Please let me know if you can advise. Thanks again!
Hey Vince, firstly I'd like to say that you have a nice van! With the following I don't want to come across as being negative, I just want to give my input to help you and your channel be as good as it can be:
I think the music is too loud while you're talking. Typically people put music during transitional shots (like the sped up part of you wiring) and not during talking. Some fading in and out will up your production value alot!
and at 1:48 it shows your exhaust pointing underneath your chassis... this is dangerous as CO is just slightly lighter than air, so if there's no wind the carbon monoxide will "pool" up underneath your rig and put you in danger.
Can you post a link to where you found your extended thermostat wiring too please? Thanks bud!
appreciate the input. its thermostat wiring from the hardware store. we have DIY in town.

you can get the 60 or 75 mm hot air tubing from most VW air cooled parts suppliers.
You never did come back to saying where the negative wire hooks up
I have posted more videos about the heater. I got a new one and it still connected directly to the battery.
Hey bro that exhaust needs to be longer so it sticks out the side ! You could die ! especially if your using your heater during a big snow ... I know of a couple who had their generator running under their rig and died from the fumes
Thank you 🙏
Hi buddy forgive me if I sound stupid but I have never done this
I have fitted a heater under storage seat and now instead of running a few metres of wire to the battery to power the heater
Could I splice into a combi boiler that’s wired to the battery already and get that feed and upgrade the fuse at the panel would this work to power the heater
I am no pro. Be very careful with this wiring and battery set up. I heard if power cuts out it could start the little heater on fire.
Music makes it unwatchable.
Bugger me 35 you may as well move to Australia lol
yeah mate down under just got 2 feet of snow! or 60cm for the rest of the world.
Would be sweet to live in my van and shred down there.
did you have to use an inverter?
No straight to house battery.
@@skeight976 thanks so much may i ask what kind of battery did u use?
@@jcardosa02 I did not build the van. But the battery is 200 amp hour acid battery, not lithium. I do have a 1000watt inverter when needed but most everything runs of 12v from the battery with a fuse box.
@@skeight976 ok thanks so much for responding :) is it a good heater to get? does it warm the van up? i am freezing already where i am lol
@@jcardosa02 yes watch my winter camping videos. I was staying in snow storms on pacific crest trail.
What type after battery do you use for the heater ?
Of*
It’s an
Deep Cycle AGM Battery 12 Volt 200Ah
That van came with it.
@@skeight976 I appreciate it I just got a box truck and the old owner left me a heater in the back and I’ve been trying to find it on the internet but no one really talks about them
@@wesamthabteh579 Facebook groups are kind of helpful
I watched the video to learn where to connect the negative cable - unfortunately that part was skipped :(
Negative cable usually goes to the black. Positive is usually red. But not always. If you only had a battery and not a solar system it would just go to the battery. But I guess it gets tricky with solar power systems, if you know more than me please share and help.
