Best diesel heater in a box vid i've seen, and i have watched many since i bought my heater a couple of months ago!
I just forwarded this video to a dear friend who needs something like this! Thank you so much for showing us how to build a heater unit like this! Blessings to you and your Family!!
Aww adorable kid and what a great idea
What a great idea! I recently put one of these in my camper. Wish I would have thought about it when I had my tent going.
Let the exhaust wrap soak in water. Makes wrapping pipes much easier
Dude, you're so good at this. i think you start a business with it, i can see this thing getting demand.
That is actually a great idea. I need to make this happen lol. Thanks for the idea!
Wow - you need more followers sir. Great idea.
That is a banging idea.....
Exactly what I was looking for. A portable heater build. Can be deployed to any location and ease of access if repairs are needed. Thanks!
Glad I could help!
You can buy them portable with the tank over the heat exchanger. About 200 bills..
That’s an awesome idea! Thank you for sharing!
Great idea! Thanks for the post.
Wow, I can't think of anyway you could make it any bigger (or expensive) than the self-contained units.
nice install!
great enginuity love it !
Thank you
Great video. Good info. Thanks !
Thanks for the video. Looks like you put a lot of thought into your build. Do you have any problems due to weather with it mounted on your roof rack? I'm concerned about rain/snow getting in the open holes in the case. I would think that you'd get a fair amount of water in the 3 inch hole for the hot air and also the air filter would get soaked too, no? Perhaps it's not that big of an issue since you moved the controller outside of the box and into the tent... ?
Well sorted bud .
Excellent video.
Thank you!!
Great video. I made a similar overlanding heater. Do you have any issues with the tank leaking in your pelican case? Whenever I go off-roading I notice the diesel tank leaks everywhere inside.
nice project
Nice video, but none of your Amazon links went to the actual product.
Great video.. can you tell me where you hit the heater from as it looks far better than all the others I have seen so far…. James 🇬🇧
Any issues with the heater sucking in exhaust back into the tent when the heater is running?
I am looking to put one under my camper van. However, a few things to know...First that green fuel line dries out, gets brittle, and cracks leading to fuel leaks. That is not good on your vehicle, especially should you and your daughter be trapped up there. Second, plastic and exhaust heat don't mix, not to mention the exhaust really needs to be further away from your tent. I like the car air filter idea but i would have gotten a bigger one to allow for better air flow, especially as this one starts to clog. Restrictions on intake and exhaust have been known to cause them to carbon up, lose efficiency and eventually fail. I have an extended Transit van and will be putting mine in an aluminum box secured to the underside. I know I will have to run 2 air ducts to the inside but the exhaust pipe will be 100% outside the vehicle. How has that heater worked for you without an air return? Have you had it carbon up at all??? Subscribed, liked, notifications enabled.
Thank you so much for sharing!!! I have this same heater and I love it but have struggled with the exhaust getting so hot that it melts/burns where it exits out the wall. I will try the adapter/connector you have used.
I also love the roof tent you have! Did you have to install special railings on your roof to hold the weight?
Genius level: 11
AWESOME JOB BUD. WHAT WAS THE COST OF THE HEATER YOU BUILT.
How has it been running? Well done
Any optimizations in retrospect?
Can this be powered by a battery or does it have to be plugged into your car. I have a small trailer and could really use one of these. Just don’t know if I’d need to power it from my Jeep or have a separate battery
wow, nice done man so water needs to fill every hour or what?
About how much money did you invest into this?
Thank you for the video. Is it safe to put on top of a camper van and use nights?
Rain or snow, etc.
I would put the heater at least 3 meters away from the tent, one reason is for the noise, another reason is for safety; also your hot air outlet duting is the flexible type which is wrong, as you can easily bend the duting more than 270 degrees which stop the hot air from coming out freely cause the overheating issue. You should use the straight hard duting
These are designed to be fitted inside of vehicles, it has an exhaust port which should be ducted away from your fresh air but the actual heater can be anywhere.
very nice,
Nice build! I built my own and used similar ducting to what you have here and I noticed the glued seams were pulling apart when the duct was stretched and the heater was on full blast. Have you noticed this at all. I decided to go with the same duct supplied but longer lengths and a coupler
Where are there "glued seams"? Isn't everything screwed, bolted or clamped? What am I missing?
@@garyabc The seams for the ducting. I ended up buying a few from eBay that work well
@@derekhenderson9344 Thanks, Derek. Makes sense to me now.
Great video! Do you have a link to the through hull exhaust fitting? The link is broken in the description. Thanks!
Thank you for the heads up on the link. I fixed the link in the description. But here it it just to make it easier:

@@4X4Carpool awesome thanks! Do you remember what diameter it is? I can go caliper mine I guess. I built one this fall and used it in Moab in November but it was a terrible install job on my part because the Pelican case isn’t big enough. It was like trying to fit 10 gallons of poop in a 5 gallon bucket. I’ve got a bigger Pelican case that I’m going to try to work on today. Thanks for your help! - Geoff
No problem, it’s 24 mm.
@@4X4Carpool thanks! I just ordered it along with the other parts to make this heater box nicer. I appreciate it b
Curios..that exhaust manifold must transfer allot of heat to the case no....?
Not a lot of heat is transferred to the case. Even the outside ring of the exhaust fitting can be touched at full operating temperature. I’ve ran it 3 times now, all 3 times have been over 10 consecutive hours with no issues. Before I installed it on the roof I ran it for 7 consecutive hours. I ran many tests on this setup before final completion, the biggest problem I had was finding the right flange for the heated air to pass through. The ones used in this video are the 3rd ones fitted. The first 2 kept melting, I finally found the aluminum flanges and it’s working great.
As I’m writing this, we are on Bradshaw Trail camping, my wife and kids are enjoying the warmth of this heater. Haha
Awesome clean build. What is the weight of it (with or without diesel)?
Thank you!
I didn’t think to weigh it before installing it on the roof.
I doubt it weighs more than 30lbs with the way he has it. I have a similar unit but not the big case and it's like 10lbs.
Nice!
Thank you!
The link for the air cover filter is broken and try as I might, I cannot locate one. Anyone have an idea?
It looks like its out of stock. But I just added another link for the white version. White might not be ideal, but some black spray paint could fix that.
@@4X4Carpool That's awesome. Thanks a million!!
I've heard there can be clicking noise when diesel heaters operate. Do you notice it or is quiet enough at night?
The fuel pump makes the clicking sound, but it’s not super loud. It’s slightly annoying right before you fall asleep but it doesn’t keep anyone away. My wife and middle child are very light sleepers, they have not said anything about the clicking.
Nice but noisy
don't use the green hose in between the pump and the heather
Man ! Your structural steel is definitely beefy.
Was you cutting with a grinding disc lool
Great job! On the 2kw what marine exhaust pipe fitting? 22 or 24 mm?
The diesel heater supposed to be inside the tent so it heats the already heated air if you have it outside and it's cold then you're reducing the efficiency by a lot. You'll be safe if it catches on fire but you're reducing the efficiency
They have all in one portable ones that you don’t have to do all that bs. Because is a self contain unit. Just install intake, exhaust, vent hose and add diesel.
I’ve never seen a self contained one that is water tight
You must be living under a rock
@@mega-hb4re the all in ones are not water proof and they often need modifying with correct gas line, fuel filter, clamps etc etc.
@@mega-hb4re Planar from Vancouver makes one in a watertight case just like this. All the other "all in one's" from China are open to the elements. Unless of course you are hiding it "under a rock" along with the guy you just tried to put down. LOL
add a carbon monoxide / fire detector and call it a day
The case cost more than the unit itself.
