@colinwilliams2085 Thanks for viewing, yes I was not really impressed, and when I bought it, it cost £99.00 not sure how it's improved to justify it's new £150. I don't actually use it. it remains in its purchase box.

@deoxyrobo hello. Thanks for the comment, I have thought about recycling the air from indoors but to be honest, I am reluctant to cut another hole in my wall..

@Clowningabout001 hello. Yes they can to a small extent, only about 2 inches off each end in our case. We only had to cut one and only one end, which unfortunately led to it not hanging perfectly level when rolled up, it drops slightly due to the weight imbalance I guess. So if cutting do both ends.

@royclark8385 I'm after fitting these to my VW T4, need to ger some measurements and have a trip to ikea 👍🏻

@harken112 hello. I bought one of these Flintronic Drill Bit Set, Ø80mm Hollow TCT Drill Core Bit Cutter, with 111mm Round Shank SDS Plus Adapter Hole Cutter Drill Bit, Hammer Hole Saw for Wall Concrete Brick Stone Cement For the brick on the exterior and 1 of these for the timber and plasterboard in the cavity and lounge Starrett HSS Bi-Metal Hole Saw - FCH0318 Fast Cut Extra Cobalt Hole Saw - For Stainless Mild Sheet Wood Plastic Various Materials - 79mm Both brought from Amazon. I did not fit a sleeve as I felt it it didn't melt the plastic pipe it would not damage the wood and insulation. I did check numerous times upon initial turn on and once running for 39 mins or so. It's been great for the past year. I serviced it over the summer and running on kerosene, its was extremely clean inside.

@troytaylor1913 hello. I have since removed my upgrade and returned to the original due to a flame out when using on a erberspacher d2.

@flapper111uk hello. I cut and rewired my display to a water tight 3 pin plug so it could be easily removed and swapped with another if needed. Did not know you could buy extensions though.

@jamiejoker118 hello, since installing i have changed the set up quite a bit, I now have the pump suspended on cable ties and also resting on a rag. I can now only hear it when the house is silent and I am listening for it, and even then it's a very slight tick. So I am very happy with that. Unfortunately I still get a kerosene smell upon starting up, even after servicing and sealing the gaskets with heat proof silicone. My eberspacher d2 in my van has no smell whats so ever..

@iamcRuNcHiE hello. Yes we did have 4 but 2 were removed for the fitting of a pop top.

Hello. I tried contacting them but as it was outside 30 days they ignored my request, hence why I had to make the modifications my self

@Tiersmoke92555 Hello. I did think about routing the air intake from indoors but saw a number of videos claiming doing so caused condensation within the room so opted for fresh air. I can definitely appreciate the concern regarding CO2 I fitted a carbon monoxide alarm immediately above the air outlet and during install used a CO2 tester at the exhaust outlet to check for leaks.

Hi..... I have the exact design on my home....... Works great. This method is the only true way to maximize the efficiency of the heater. 😎👍

i have my intake indoors as the warmer air is more efficient to heat

@@jamesball2523 Hello. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Glad it was of help to you.

@richardsracingmad hello. Yes it mounted to the metal frame, which is secured to the van body, of the pop top.

@defendermods9420 Hello. That's an sound emitting device to stop cats fouling on my front garden.. not that it helps much.

@royclark8385 I see, you want to buy the water jet pir thing for the cat. Leave the hose on and they run a mile. Brilliant thing

@defendermods9420 thanks for the recommendation.

@scottc8152 Hi. That sounds very efficient, well done.

@Peter-cz8hx technically speaking it's heat source is in my house, but no, for safety reasons, it's installed outside.

@@royclark8385 sorry Roy I was being pedantic.good content tho.

@JonCompass That is a possibility, fortunately I modified it and for the past year all has been fine with them. Appreciate your thoughts though.

@cfon159 hello. Thanks forcyour thoughts. I ended up replacing this with the original Chinese heater silencer which cured the problem. I like your idea though and might modify it as you suggest as it currently sitting in a spares box gathering dust.

Hello. I'm glad my video proved interesting. My set up is a eberspacher airtronic d2 fitted in my campervan, the exhaust is about 80cm long with one 90 degree bend directly below the exhaust port, allowing it to angle itself down the chassis, it is then sloped gentle downwards to prevent any water trapment. The exhaust is an original Ebespacher exhaust which is thicker and has smoother ripples than the Chinese alternative. As mention I removed the upgraded exhaust and replaced it with the original chinese exhaust as eberspacher dont often come with a muffler, and it appears to work fine now. I have yet to service it though so cannot comment on possible coke buildup inside the unit, but I can confirm it runs very efficiently having checked with a co2 meter. Hope that helps.

@seepetedo Hello. I bought the feed kit off ebay, item number 221534925902, EBERSPACHER/WEBASTO/PLANAR DIESEL HEATER FORD TRANSIT MERC VITO FUEL PICK-UP KIT Glad the video has been of interest and help.

@@royclark8385 your a star thank loads, good luck with the rest of the conversion

@seepetedo Thank you. It's actually finished now and we are out enjoying it. I did upload a video of the finished article.

@69racer69 Hello. It's not an easy job, that's for sure. No doubt it would be easier if the vehicle was on a lift. Unfortunately their was no way it would fit in between the chassis, so it has to hang down below, which meant finding fixing points is limited. But it's done now, so the frustration and cursing was worth it.

@@royclark8385 what were the dimensions of the tank?

@69racer69 Capacity: 40 litres Length: 840 mm Width: 370 mm Depth: 150 mm It came with plastic water connectors which were rubbish as we could not get it to seal properly, we have since changed them for brass.

@@royclark8385 amazing, thank you so much for the info, that’s really great of you 😁👍🏻

@69racer69 Glad it's been of some use to you.

@MickBrown-m7d Hello. Glad it was of use to you

@@peterpuds hello. It's in centigrade as I live in the UK

@alexbik hello. Thanks for visiting my channel. I was initially impressed with the silencer, following this test, although it was only a test so was not run for very long. I did however fit the silencer to my van, where I have a erbespatcher d2 fitted and within 30 minutes, once the van got to the required temperature and clicked into minimum setting, it would flame out, ie turn the heater off, and keep trying to restart it. As soon as I removed the silencer and reinstalled the original one (same as cheap Chinese type) my problem went away and has never returned. So I can definitely say from experience they do restrict emissions venting, hence your build up.

@alexbik I also have a 5kw heater installed in my house, running with the cheap silencer, I ran it all through the winter, on kerosene. Just yesterday I stripped it down to service it for this coming winter and it was completely clean inside, no soot build up at all. So I can recommend kerosene and the cheap silencer if you wish to avoid carbon/soot build up. I have uploaded some videos showing my installs. Hope this helps answer your questions

@@royclark8385 Thanks for the quick confirmation! I hope my settings will help. I dropped the minimum pump freq from 1.4 to 0.9, the max from 5.4 to 3 and I increased the min fan speed from 1500 to 1750 and max from 4500 to 5000. Time will tell if that's enough. I realize it will impact performance, but I don't need the full 5kW anyway.

@alexbik I have played around with my settings reducing such as you have, but i discovered it was not reaching maximum temperature so ended up reverting close to the original settings. If you can buy/use kerosene I would definitely recommend that as it is said to burn at a higher temperature than diesel.

@@royclark8385 The thing is, I have a propane heater in my RV as well (a Truma combined water/air heater) that I run off an LPG tank. In installed the diesel heater because you can not buy LPG everywhere, especially not in northern Sweden and Finland. So I really like to run it on diesel, since I have a 200L fuel tank and I can buy diesel fuel anywhere. I'll see how it goes with the new settings.I could also try to restrict the heated airflow a bit to increase the temperature.

Hello. Yes for some it might be, but being able to shower every day, for us its worth the effort.

@brianknowles1727 can not be more simple than that..

Hello. Thanks for viewing, their are many ways I guess, I have installed a full hot/cold shower feed at the back of the van to use similar to yours only Radka was not comfortable showering outside in public, so we opted for this system so she can shower with a little more privacy and in any weather.

@Photostoryhr hello thanks for your thoughts. We have a pop top fitted so can stand up for drying, but not whilst washing for obvious reasons. We have been using this system for several holidays now and as of yet not experienced any spillage issues, but admittedly it does come with restrictions and you do need to be careful when using it.

As for waiting for it to dry, we have a microfiber cloth we use to dry it directly after use, so it can be folded and stored following use.

I am glad it works for you

@MarkMc-66 Hi. Not sure why that is but have you tried wiring the two led strips into each other, so the working correctly led is also powering the other led. By passing the factory wiring loom of the 2nd cargo light.

Hello. Whilst some say they are great, mine definitely caused a flame out, been a year now since I replaced it with the original, and since had no flaming out issues.

Hi, yes their were just + and - as I recall, very simple job. Did not need to cut any wires, so easy to return to original if required.

Hello. Glad to hear your runn8ng boards fit without modification. I am pleased with mine, and they recieve nice comments. I have noticed that they do tend to slant towards the body which means they hold water rather than running off.

Hello. Thanks for viewing and commenting. I bought 2 packs of 12 lengths I believe, bought from B&Q. 1 pack was not quite enough. Fixing the batton down with sikaflex rather than screwing into the floor has worked fine too.

@@royclark8385 thanks. What is a length. I’m looking at 38m??

Hello. Thank you, we are really pleased with them, although they are not black out as IKEA claimed.

Hello. Thanks for viewing our video. I bought it off ebay, from a company called vandalized, ebay item number 282082861910. Was very pleased with it and ended up with a very pleasing result.

Hello. If you mean the kit, I bought if off ebay, item number 221534925902, EBERSPACHER/WEBASTO/PLANAR DIESEL HEATER FORD TRANSIT MERC VITO FUEL PICK-UP KIT

@royclark8385 thanks I will look that up. Seem like the answer to the separate pickup tube. Appreciated.

Glad the video was of some use.

Hello Roger, thanks for commenting, glad the video was of use.

Hello. Thanks for viewing and suggesting a possible cause. The exhaust is directed out the opposite end of the box to the air intake, I have subsequently moved the tank 5 meters away from the unit, but still getting smell upon start up, not so on shut down if I run it on high for 10mins before shutting down. I believe its a manufacturing fault in that the gasket for the burn chamber is not sealing correctly, so come the summer I will strip it down and reseal the chamber using new gaskets and heat mate Silicon to create a better seal.

Hello. Yes my video was made fitting the auxiliary feed into my transit custom 2021 plate. Hope it proves useful.

Thankyou mate 👍🏻👍🏻

Hello. Thanks for viewing. Glad it was of some use to you.

Hello. Thanks for your kind comments. The blinds are ikea hoppval blinds. If your vehicle is a transit custom the only one we had to cut was the smaller rear barn door window, the rest all fitted without needing to be cut.

Hello. Yes it was added to help register as a campervan, I did hear about the poptop not helping my cause although I know of a few new vehicles which are exactly the same as mine but are registered as campervans, ie ford nugget, vw california. I am awaiting the letter from the dvla confirming its new identity, which I suspect will be "van with windows". If this is the case I will seek clarification as from what I can ascertain from mine and the nugget is mine does not have an awning rail fixed onto the side such as the fiamma awning rail.

Hello again. I recieved my response from the dvla, its been reclassified as "van with windows" and the seating capacity has been changed to 5, which is important for insurance purposes. I am considering appealing as the transporter from vw I understand is registered as a campervan, and I suspect the Ford nugget is too qhen direct from the manufacturer.

Hello. Thanks for viewing and commenting. Yes our is the LWB, we had a mazda bongo before and felt the standard custom was too similar size wise to the bongo. That extra 40cm makes a big difference. We bought our units Inc worktops from Evo designs, you could try calling them to see if they will supply just the tops. I bought uncut tops as I wanted to install a separate sink and 2 burner hob than traditional builds, (as seen in the video) and therefore cut out the recess as required.

Hello Thanks for watching and commenting on my video. I too have agm batteries, off the top of my head I cannot remember the position although I did do as the guide instructed, and I don't want to miss inform you. I can say that the system is really nice, although some features we did not need, such as the electric step. The mains fed battery charger works very well, I kept my batteries topped up via this during the past colder months. If you do not have the operational manual, let me know and I will dig mine out and confirm the settings.

@royclark8385 thanks for the reply. I have the manuals that came with it thanks but like you've done i want to change the way its set up like you have, I'm also incorporating separate feed off from fusebox to feed a gang of lights and usb and I already have a durite split charge fitted so no need for fusebox to connect to my ignition or alternator, thinking about it now I should have just bought charger and rcd box and just a normal fuse box !!!!

@rickh6825 it's funny how once completed we see alternative way we could have done things. I bought a number of things I thought I would use but either changed my mind or bought a better alternative. Good luck with the build though.

Hello. I have recently uploaded a video explaining why I reverted back to the original due to problems this upgraded one caused, in this instance it was best to stick with the original.

Hello. Thanks for viewing and commenting. I have subsequently uploaded another video as I had to remove the upgraded exhaust as it caused problems with my heater.

Hello. Thanks for viewing and commenting on my video. Glad it was of some use, as a complete novice UA-cam has proved invaluable as my source of information.

Hello. Thanks for viewing and commenting. I used stainless steel screws, I think from memory they were 25mm. I only screwed into the Sikaflex down wooden batten, as I did not want to create unnecessary holes in the actual van floor. My logic was the weight of the bed(80kg) which is bolted through the van floor, the units plus the Sikaflex batten would hold the plyboard floor in place.

Hello. Thanks for viewing and your kind comment.

Hello. Thanks for your kind comments. The hob was a Gasland chef GH30BF 30cm built in 2 burner gas hob , black tempered glass gas cooktop, NG/LPG convertible, bought off Amazon and the oven is a Elgento compact mini oven, stainless steel 800w 9 litre was bought off the web, they are often sold out, I emailed suppliers to notify me when they were back in stock.
