Glad the install worked out for you two. I've considered a diesel heater from time to time, but that ticking pump noise, would drive me up the wall.
@@NYCamper62 yeah I know what you mean. I’ve gotten used to it now but it is audible. It’s on a rubber mount but I think I might try some other shock absorbing material or perhaps an elastic mount.
Just so you know, that intake pipe is for the combustion process, the air intake that pumps the air into the cabin is on the left side of the heater with the perforated cap over it, air is sucked in there pushed over the heatsink/combustion chamber and then blown out the pipe into the cabin.
@@Carlst17 ah. Thanks man! I had it completely the opposite in my head.
Thank you for these bunkie videos. The info is a huge help. But even better is seeing you folks just going through this process. It's a great encouragement to us that we can do it too.
@@denisebrooks4513 thanks for watching. It’s a journey with ups and downs, but overall it’s been a blast!
And anyone CAN do it, I am in no way special - how do you know you can’t do it unless you try 😀
Great little heater house!
Thanks for watching Shep. It’s really cozy !!
Awesome job guys! We really need to look into one of these for emergency use when we are not around. Well done!
Thanks guys! I love our log burner but having a backup heat source is a huge piece of mind!
@@mattandmouse absolutely!
Nice install interested in seeing how this works in colder temperatures
Me too! I’ll update you in nine months 😂
@@mattandmouse lol sounds good
@@mattandmouse It will do you good, you will enjoy it. no matter what the label says they produce 4kw of nice dry heat. Hold the OK button and gear button same time till a blue mountain appears, this will reduce the fueling to save fuel and lower heat a bit, this will help reduce it carbonizing on you on long term low heat modes. Hold the gear icon long press to set it to temperature mode.
@@Refertech101 thanks for this. The manuals are a little sparse on the info.
I’m keen to set it up so that it automatically starts up when the cabin is at a specific low temperature. I found some details on that but still playing with the fine tuning.
Another great job well done 👍🏽
Thanks for watching! :)
Looks like a nice install. I wondered about the fuel pump ticking. I don't know if you already have a plan for that but I have seen some people suspend them with a couple of zip ties that are left slack so the ticking doesn't transfer into the wood.
Good idea - thanks!
I was thinking some sort of spring contraption. I’ve also been suggested a foam transfer block might work.
Perfect, just finished up my bunkie. Looking for a solid heat source
We’ve been using it a lot recently. I love our wood stove but this is pretty efficient for heating the bunkie.
We use maybe 2 litres of diesel for a full night of heat.
3 years plus of experience on these, this was a bit of a mistake, as you do need to service them, and thus want to be easily able to access the whole unit as such by removing the whole unit. I use it 24/7 during winter (6m up to -30c) and I usually needed to do some minor cleaning or some thing with them at least 2 to 3 times during a season., I have an intake filter for both the combustion air and the room air (I have dogs) Fans average last 2 years under that extreme use. Your cold air intake if not all ready done should point downward.
@@Refertech101 hi - thanks for watching. It is removable by removing the screws holding it to the steel plate and disconnecting the hoses. It’s not as ‘easy’ as just pulling it out but technically removable.
Thanks for the hints on cleaning it and the air- intake. I’ll take a look at adjusting that.
You should connect the other side of the heater into your caben to. It’s the air intake that will be blowing into the cabin. I would not trust it in with the exhaust.
@@wardraven8755 another person commented about the air intake. It’s a good idea. Originally that was the plan but I hesitated as some documentation I found recommended against having the air intake at the same area as the heated air - suggesting it should be fresh air.
They being said, heating the cabin air via the intake seems more efficient. 😀
I’ll add it to my list of things to do next.
Thanks for watching and have an awesome weekend!
@@mattandmouse ok the air intake coming out of the bottom of the unit should be out side getting fresh air but the cold air return that should be inside the space you are truning to heat. Go look at any furnace or heat pump they circulate the air you are heating or cooling. It will make the heater more efficient.
Great video. Does it smell like diesel inside?
@@DavidPuerner-m2m no, it’s just the hot air pushed through.
I was a little concerned but we’ve run a diesel heater on the truck-tent for over a year and not had an issue with that either.
However - I will note that when it was first used, there was SOME smell - but that burned off pretty quick. Now other than the sound of the air moving and faint sound of the fuel pump, you wound know about it.
Is your diesel container 5L?
It’s a 10litre fuel tank.
