For those wondering about the expensive heat output tube, i have added some other options. This particular seller on Ebay likes to spike the price when they run out of stock. As stock comes in the price drops. OR you can select the other amazon links and they will just be a different style.
Keegan, in the build video you mention placing a rubber gasket on each side of the box on the output tube. Do you have a recommendation for this gasket?
Have you thought about putting a "kit" together using your Etcy links and affilliate links to amazon? Or some way to get a "one click" or simple link to all parts at once. I only say it because I was looking at the parts for the smaller kit and many links on Amazon are to products no longer available. Its a cool project and yours is unique becaue you print your own parts. (which is pretty darn cool)
Nice find on those bulkhead connectors. I looked everywhere for a 5 pin one that supports larger gauge wire for the power inputs (as it can get up to 10A on startup) and couldn't find anything. Most 5 pin plugs are 18 gauge so you'd have to run a 2 pin (power) AND a 3 pin (controller).
Good gosh.... very clean and beautiful build. I am looking into one of these heaters for my 20 travel trailer. The propane central heat is always an issue when dry camping....a propane hog and battery slayer. I love this build. I wonder if the 5kw would heat a 10x14 Kodiak canvas tent?
I havent tried that but I think it could work! I used my 2KW to heat up my bigger 7x9 tent in sub freezing temps, it held the tent around 62F. This was also tent material which breaths really well so I was probably losing a fair bit of heat. Canvas would hold better.
What a fabulous and practical idea! Do you sell the whole unit (minus the battery) and do you ship to UK? If so, what would be the cost please as just about to embark the job of fitting a diesel heater in my 33yr old camper but this would be so much easier!..and portable..fabulous ❤
Great video! Just ordered your kit from etsy. How do you wire the computer fan so that it only comes on when the heater fires up and not on all the time (depleting your battery). TIA
HE DOES AND I BOUGHT ONE LAST YEAR WORKS PERFECTLY AND HAS LASTED PLUS KEEGAN WILL WALK YOU THROUGH EVERYTHING YOU WOULD EVER NEED TO KNOW. HES SOLID JMHO
I would like to use the 2 pin connector on the 2kw build. Can I acquire the 2 pin 3D printed socket adapter along with the usual 2kw 3D printed components from your Etsy site?
Love your version of these heater diys! Do you think if I use the 4800 case with the 2kw heatet, cpuld I store the air hose in the case? Or is the space taken up by exhaust and intake? Maybe not worth it? Thanks!
Hey man great build! Do you have the plans available for the 5KW version? I saw the 2KW online but couldn't find the 5KW version. I have a heater, a case, and just picked up a 3D printer.
Awesome build. Do these heaters work better when they are running more constantly as opposed to dumbing them down and having them run at a lesser rate? I have a canvas truck bed tent and am wavering over the 2kw vs the 5kw setup. Which would you recommend? I am going to start collecting parts and this would be the deciding factor on which 3D parts I purchase. Thank you!
Hey how you doing!!! Nice set up!!… quick question the silencer for in air tank does not have to be outside?? I getting confused with that, or are you making holes so can get air from outside?
Nice build! Looking to build one soon wondering how loud the "clicking" sound is on the fuel pump. My gf is a light sleeper so I can see it being an issue. Are there any options for quieter pumps?
That is what I was looking for. What is the difference between the digital display unit and the knob units, do you know? Is the 5 and 8 kw heaters the overall same size and work in the same case?. Thanks
knob is easier to use but much harder to diagnose when something is acting up. I really like the LCD version I have included in this video. Also, it comes with a wireless remote so you can fire it up from the camp fire prior to climbing in your tent. Also, I have only seen problems with the 8kw models. Or I would say, I havent found a reliable source in the last 3 years for them.
Great Video! I am in the process of trying to do one very similar. My heater is slightly different, but I am trying to build it in the Apache 4800 case and I am doing a 5kw heater. One thing I am trying to figure out is how to secure the heater to the case. I bought some brackets, but I am starting to wonder if I need to even do this. It looks like your heater is mostly held in place by the 3 inch intake and outtakes. Is this accurate or is it somehow bolted directly to the case as well?
@@RobRoyRoadie There are 2 other options available for you to pick up. check in the description. The main version comes in and out of stock (or in the case of this seller, normal price vs $518)
@@keeganbuilds I reached out to the seller. Apparently they are out of stock, and that is the price to have them fabricated individually. They said that once they can get a new batch manufactured in bulk, the price will go back down.
@@keeganbuilds Damn, at least I tried. I hit you up on IG not sure if you saw it. Saw some comments saying you might actually build and sell these if that's still happening?
How do you add an exaust extension to that through hull fitting. Anyone use this inside an ice fishing tent? Insulating heat vent and intake is a mess of wasted heat and space
It looks great. But... I just priced to see all the parts on Amazon, plus the 3D printed parts you're selling on your site for $95, this thing is gonna cost $600 !!! That's just craziness !!! Who in their right mind would pay that ?!!! If you do, you should be drug tested

Great build! Are you by any chance selling a complete system minus the battery and fuel tank?
Very impressive with how much footwork you've done. Looks like I'll be going down UA-cam rabbit hole tonight, lol
Very nice work, is there a URL for the STL's?

Definitely would be interested in buying a complete unit minus the battery.. please lmk if that is something you do.. thanks
I have one in a motorcycle rear trunk that I use to heat my shop. $16 a week to heat a 12x20 shop I love these heaters!
Could you upload the larger parts to Thingiverse like with your last build?

@keeganbuilds is there a directory to print the parts for the 5K unit?
Hi there, just wondering if it’s possible to get one of the small diesel heaters that would already be assembled? And do you post to Ireland? 🇮🇪

Are you able to sell all the components as a kit minus the diesel heater?
I would be interested in this as well. Less the heater and Harbor freight box.
@@Tripsolo65 dude make it happen!
these look great, do you sell pre done units? I dont have time to build one.
Great video! Just ordered your kit from etsy. How do you wire the computer fan so that it only comes on when the heater fires up and not on all the time (depleting your battery). TIA
Awesome Idea how big are the cases?
hello, ou avez vous acheté le réservoir de carburant?
Very cool! Where is the camp kitchen documented?
What kindnof battery donyou use to power it for a days i e fishing?
Can these run on used veg ( or other) oil, or mix of diesel/ veg or used motor oil? Thanks
I wonder if where the fan and plug are you could squeeze a 20ah lifepo4 battery in there...
Seems replay great. Is it possible to run this désign with the case standing not on a side but on his base?
Yes it’s meant to be run standing up and closed
Any chance you sell these made? Love your setup.

Love your JAG35 Battery build in the background. I built two of them. Used the 3800 Harbor Freight cases to hold 4 of each of the scooter batteries. .
Love when UA-cam worlds collide! Great call out!
@@keeganbuilds do you think all your parts would work on the 8k heater as well
Hi how mu h is the kit please and where do i buy it from? I all ready have the 5kw heater
etsy.me/3aN6M81
Where do I buy the big one ?
I have a 3d printer would you be kind enough to post the files so I can print the parts myself?
Dude super clean love your Heaters.

Do you sell fully built heaters? I heard you say Crystal Mountain. I'm local (Tacoma).
Also how do you vent this?
Excellent thumbnail
Haha Thanks man
So I could technically wire it the same as the 5k on the 2k units?
Exactly! They are the same wiring
do these heaters run on their side, as in could you lay those boxes flat? obvs fuel tank will need to be upright
Yes they can
Pardon me sir, I bought your v2 big version. Where can I find and aquire the silver fuel vent valve please? Thanks
It’s located inside your fuel tank
@@keeganbuilds thanks, it was stuck in the cap.
Anyone using a Pelican Case instead? Thinking about a V550 Vault...
Is it possible to buy only the fuel pump mount from you? Thank you!
Hi keegan, would these work ok when outside exposed to heavy rain?
Yes they can. I regularly use mine in snow storms (which melts the snow and turns essentially in to rain lol)
Hey man great build! Do you have the plans available for the 5KW version? I saw the 2KW online but couldn't find the 5KW version. I have a heater, a case, and just picked up a 3D printer.
What size exhaust wrap (I/D size) did you use for the exhaust pipe, as the Amazon link shows different options
Keegan , I’m very interested in buying these plans . Do you recommend a good power supply ?
Are you looking for a battery power supply or a hard wire power supply for using at home?
Great compact design and build ,

Looking to build one soon wondering how loud the "clicking" sound is on the fuel pump. My gf is a light sleeper so I can see it being an issue. Are there any options for quieter pumps?

8kw heaters are 5kw bodies pushed too hard. 2kw and 5kw are the two official sizes. Stay safe.
Do you shorten all the wiring? Do you pull the pins to shorten it or just cut out a section in the middle and use butt connectors?
Cut out the middle and resoldered
@@keeganbuilds awesome build.
Can I buy it your old one
Do you use an muffler on the exhaust or extend the exhaust pipe?
If you do how do you easily attach/detach it when packing up ?
I have, but its really not necessary
how much is 2kw.can you buy in the uk

Hi do sell them?
I ordered parts from you (2kw). How long is the shipping approx? :)
Look forward to the Lifepo4 vid
Great idea on the additional vent holes
Great stuff 💯💯

looks like a typo from the seller. I have messaged them on ebay to fix.
