I have a question for you. So I was just on their website and looking at these pop up tops on these vans. The roof racks that are on top of these, are these the same or less weight ratings because of the top?

One word: someday!

Really liked the video great work. Would love to get one of these hot tents any idea where I could get one used

Did he say he has 4 kids and him and his wife and sleep in that thing?

I like the van format because of the visibility over the hood. Up in British Columbia, Yukon Territory, NWT and Alaska there are places where a big front end can be a safety concern. Coming around tight corners is safer bc It's much easier to judge tire placement. Many times you have to get close to the shoulder as a semi approaches in the opposite lane. The Dempster highway is all packed dirt / crushed shale with soft slippery shoulders, especially when its been raining. Not being able to accurately judge where your front tires are gets people into trouble all the time. When you get WAY up there there aren't even any trees to hook a winch line to. I also like the idea of not having to deal with camper stoves, portable diesel heaters and aftermarket electrical systems to support extra lights and such.

My father traveled for the last 28 years of his life in a van something very similar. It was the happiest I saw him. When his sight started to go, and he couldn't drive, that sense of adventure went blind too, and he never was the same.

Alex when are you going to do a review on the Sonmez Outdoors 480?

never seen that all aluminum look before

So how much did they pay you to pass off this Chinese heater (that they put in a new shiny box) as good deal, or a cool deal, or as ANYTHING other than an overpriced rebranding of the same machine you can get for $85-100 on Amazon? Not only is the company that MARKETS (they did not “manufacture” it!) this disgraceful, this site that reviewed it is just as disingenuous. But hey! Anything for a buck I guess. Why does it not surprise me this guy is from California?

Looks cool, how loud is the fuel pump in that heater, kind of hard to hear in your audio.

That thing is really cool.

The SPARKS OVERLAND 4kw diesel heater uses a Belief heater core!!!

Thanks for the share.I’ve seen both of your videos on this heater and it’s a beautiful design. Nice & secure outside in that box, especially with the LCD controller inside. The white noise will keep Sasquatch away. Thanks from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 U.K. 🇬🇧

Thats a lot of tent for that heater, how long will that heater run for on full?

Here’s an idea, don’t put any gas in the generator until you are ready to use it immediately after adding fuel. Leave the gas in a gas can and if you are worried about its age then either add a stabilizer to the fuel in the can or put the gas in your lawn equipment or car.

Great video!

Ummm... yeah. First bad review of the Hcalory that I have seen so far, and I have watched quite a few. I knew he was going to pimp the expensive one. Try not to be so obvious next time, young man.

Is the Fuel line meant to penetrate the bottom of the tank or through the cap (or top of tank) and then run the line to the bottom? The Pump is designed to self prime and should be able to pick up fuel and lift it a fairly good vertical distance. Has anyone hooked up the fuel in this manner?

Gas generators require running the motor several times a year. bc gas goes bad and jams up the carb. We have a generac 5000

Where Is the 6 month review ???

What a fun video Alex. I bet waking up to that snow must have been something. So let me ask you this, if a tent like this gets a rip, can it be repaired easily?

Good stuff. If I had a Land cruiser, id definitely sleep inside. On my Jeep, I runn RTT in the winter. Summer time I have no roof or doors so I ground tent in a

Check out these tents here: www.roaminhome.com/

what kind of diesel heater is that in the aluminum box?

dude cool tent

These are good for long term camps right?

My dad had a canvas wall tent when we were kids, that was the coolest tent. I'd bet he still has it. He never throws anything away, plus that tent was so durable. Likely hasn't been used in years and no clue on the condition.

I would have liked to hear about ease (or lack thereof) of takedown and stowage.

what are your thoughts on the HCalory version2? can you do a comparison with that one

this thing is nicer than my college apt

The carbon monoxide risk with open flame propane heater even disposable barbecue Coals/charcoal have killed many people even hot embers in ash buckets will set off carbon monoxide alarms this should never be done in a room or tent with minimal ventilation or vehicle’s or enclosed space

I have the solo and LOVE it! Fits sideways in my wrangler, packs up and down super quick, and fits a cot perfectly with plenty of room to spare. And so nice to find a smaller tent that you can stand up in

Just got one of the Arctic 4kw units for ice fishing this winter. Looking forward to seeing how well it works!

Way too much intro. Bailing.

Welcome to BC! I want one of these heaters so bad. I also hope to see some of the Euroheater accessories from Norway for these heaters make their way here, wink wink

I sprinkle the oxygen absorber on top of the meal when it's ready. Lol

What happens with how the trailer handles when you put a roof top tent on the top of it?

Will watch this when I get home this evening

Ordered a Flex 1500 in 2021. It took about 18 months or so for us to even get the generator. Then they promised they would send an additional item to make up for the delay (a crock pot). We never received it. Then we bought extra batteries. We've used the generator (inside the house) a handful of times. It is now dead about 2.5 or so years later. Of course, it's out of warranty! Garbage! They have terrible reviews on the BBB site, BTW.

What’s eco-mode like on this? Does is save you any petrol?

Your video was very helpful ..Thanks for sharing 😊

That's a serious heater there. Another great video, thank you.

the location is epic

BC has some of the most beautiful landscapes in North America, good seeing you again.

Which lake is this?

you should probably pitch your tents above the water line..

Just picked up a Sunster diesel heater. The case is a little better laid out than the Planar but wish me luck on the quality otherwise.... Here is the surprise: My back up is a 12v electric blanket that is under sized and made to go under the sleeping bag and can operate on low at 40 watts or so intermittently to maintain heat. Experimenting so far my older ecoflo delta can power it for three nights!! Good alternative.

Will the smaller heater heat a couple tents?

Is there a cap/cover if your not using a second hose on the bottom? My non Arctic version has a louvered cap.
