    My advice is point your truck directly down the trail you came in on especially in previous snow tracks. That gives you pre-travelled vehicle tracks eliminating turning around on fresh snow and possible sinking and getting stuck

      @@prospectoverland Yes we did! The next morning we attempted to go up the pass and got stuck in the snow on the climb up, my wife ended up digging us out for a solid 20 minutes while I attempted to do a U-Turn. It was snowing quite a bit and we didn't want to risk it any further so we just went back down to one of the other sites and spent another night. It was an absolute blast and a super memorable time. Your videos definitely captured the moment and helped us reminisce! I'll definitely subscribe for more :)

    Hey guys! Nice install on the Dickinson. I still haven't seen anything similar elsewhere on UA-cam, which surprises me because this is such a great application. I was wondering if you have had more opportunities to test the heater in really cold temps and if you feel like the performance is adequate? Also, I am wondering if you could tell me what the measurement is from the edge of the camper to the furthest edge of the pipe chimney. I don't have too much room to spare in my garage lengthwise and wondering if this sticks out much further than the rear bumper? Thanks in advance - cheers! PS - any regrets on going with this heater application? looking at any other ideas, or have you been happy with this?

    • @prospectoverland
      @prospectoverland  3 місяці тому

      Thank you and we love it. Only surprise in the pipe coming out of the top of the heater gets pretty hot and if kids were inside the camper I would want to make some sort of guard so they don’t touch it. But after about a 1ft of pipe it’s starts cooling off and by the time it exist the back by the tent material you can hold the pipe.
      Please shoot me a email with any measurement questions and I can reply with some numbers and a couple pictures. Ty.prospectoverland@gmail.com.

    How did you sleep with the winds and the pop up tent? Was it flapping everywhere?

    • @prospectoverland
      @prospectoverland  10 місяців тому

      The camper/pop top makes zero wind noise. It’s nothing like a regular tent material pop top. This thick vinyl siding doesn’t make noise. But the truck does turn into a big wind wall/block so the entire truck shakes around a little in the big gusts but noise is not the issue. We sleep very well, we have switched to a hest mattress and love it.

    • @prospectoverland
      @prospectoverland  9 місяців тому +1

      Thanks. Yeah you will need some power. It’s consumes very little 12v power. The radiant heat without the fan to blow it would not produce much. I would not recommend if you have no way to do power. I also run a 12v propane sensor.
      A small auxiliary power supply maybe like a goal zero or something similar.
