Congratulations, I watch a lot of UA-cam channels. You have the highest watched to like 👍🏽 ratios that I have seen.
It speaks a lot about how much your channel and content is liked by your viewers.
I started studying van heater options a few years ago and this information is spot on.
I hope all is well with your family.
Always a thumbs up.
Good content, great tips. This is one of the reasons why I would choose the Espar AM2 B4L Gasoline 4kw Heater Kit - 12v which is suitable for use at high altitudes (up to 9,900 feet) over the Webasto.
Espar will be my choice as well. It has an automatic altitude adjustment. I live in BC and were constantly in the Rockies. Cheers from Canader eh!
My Espar works great at high altitude too!!
@@bjbhehir where did you buy yours?
Where did you purchase it?
As always, your caring and concern(s) for others is very touching. How kind and sweet of you both to invest so much of your time recording and editing this video. This video was VERY educational to me because you've revealed yet some some factors that one must think about. (I plan on getting a Winnebago EKKO which has a Trumo ducted heat systems (using propane), so I have some research to do). I never knew that elevation is a factor; you taught me something very valuable! I think it's something to do with the fact that your Webasto burns gasoline, so again, I've got some research to do regarding propane heaters. (Of course, I understand the moisture issue is answered by how the Trumo is mounted and how it exhausts the fumes produced by burning propane.) So, again, THANK you so much! You are truly very lovely people and I wish you the best, safest, healthiest travels...as Roy Rogers used to sing, "Happy Trails to you!".
Thanks so much. This is a great video. We have the same Webasto that you do. We love it. I've heard of a Webasto cleaning kit but have never been able to find it. I wish Webasto made the heaters more user friendly by including a detailed users guide. Happy New Year.
Wow and holy expletive! I have the same heater and didn't know any of this. I immediately went out and cranked up the heater, ha, and added a monthly maintenance run onto my calendar. Thanks once again for a great video D&C!
You see the best. Great information. We have not bought a heater yet and travel to high elevations in Colorado.
Thanks Dave and Kerry for your Webasto video. My wife and I are currently traveling in our converted Promaster with the 2000STC. Thanks to your recommendations we spent 2 days at
We are happy to be helpful! We hope these heaters will last a long time.
Thanks folks. Great presentation in this upload. Lots of information from Van lifers who own and have installed one of these gasoline heaters in their Promaster. AA++ Video.
Very informative video. I certainly wish I had a Webasto heater in our van. We are preparing to leave next weekend to head south, but will have at least a couple of cold nights in the van. We will make it work with what we have, but I hope it doesn't get too cold. Praying to mother nature to be kind:)
Great video and tips guys UK van lifer here I've just had the Air Top 2000 STC installed in my Adria Compact for a trip to the Scottish Highlands Cairngorm Mountains. I didn't know about the high burn to combat carbon build up so thanks
Great info-thank you. Spent most of my life in SW Florida so our challenge is surviving the humid heat. But when I am able to travel-staying warm in freezing weather will be just as important. Thank you all so much 🙏✌🌎💞
I am watching your live feed after the fact. Somehow missed it. For ideas for you: yes to drone instruction or tips, yes to top boondocking spots from previous years, tours of other vans or meet-ups and Roodle is always good too. Upgrading your solar is exciting. I am planning my first install right now. Good info channels include Will Prowse and Explorist Life. I always double and triple check info as most people aren't electricians and there are a lot of differing opinions.
Thank you too. And vanlife Outfitters. Much appreciated how you explain things. Very much appreciative oh, definitely be watching over again. It's explaining the little details that matter. Safe travels
Glad I bought an Espar B4L M2 (Gas Heater with built in Altitude adjustment) for my 2020 AWD Ford Transit, I live in Tahoe and in the winter I ski every day at Mt Rose and the parking lot is at 8200 feet. I installed the Espar two years ago and it works great with no issues at all. I think I'll run it on high heat a few times this winter. Good luck and check out an Espar if you have any problems.
Perfect information about the heating system
Well this was either about a stove or a metaphor for a traveling partner. Feed, clean, and let run hot.
I had no idea. Thank you, I am going to check my model and run hot! I am also sending this video to the outfitter that installed it, Thank you.
Guys this video is super informative, and the inside of your van looks fantastic! Kinda glad we have the Truma combi water & gas heater.
Excellent information guys, thanks for sharing. ( received my hoodie and cap, good quality).
Very good video as always. I was surprised to hear about the altitude problems. We are not full timers and don’t have the same requirements as you guys but at least half of our travels are above 4700 ft. I guy those heaters wouldn’t work for us. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos.
Thank you for this info! When I bought my Ram it has the STC-2000 Air top Gas Heater. I didn't know about the 4900 feet limit so I am super grateful for this info. Former owner told me about running hot for a minimum 20 minutes and never leave it on low. I will watch the VMACS video.
Right on! Let's keep these heaters running hot and healthy for a very long time. We are happy to be helpful. 😀
Ugh never leave it on low? What about then setting the thermostat? And it kicks on as need be. We do not like a hot interior like DAVE. My hopes were to leave it on a low setting. And we are often at 7K ft or above.
🇬🇧 watching as ever.. Great video regarding heating 👌
Keep warm guy's..look forward for the next video soon :)😀😃
Very informative! Loved it!
Thank you for this! I am totally happy with my Webasto. I purchased and had installed at a truck shop. It is the STC-2000 Air top Gas Heater.
As a northerner , living fulltime year round in my van, a good quality, reliable, efficient heating system was very important to me. In fact I felt at the time that a complete HVAC system was essential to the opportunity to successfully live on reasonable comfort in a tiny home on wheels year round in any kind of weather.
To some degree I am somewhat able to control my comfort level by choosing a location where the environment is ordinarily conducive to my comfort level.
Clearly both climate change and pandemic have thrown a curve into that theory.
Absolutely Kerry I agree the three most important things to my comfort are:
1) a toilet
2) an efficient and reliable heating system
and 3) being able to stand up.
I am going to rewatch this video and take some notes. Although I haven’t had any issues with my Webasto Heater, I totally believe an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and also I a totally believe planned/preventive maintenance can eliminate or at least minimize inconvenient and costly breakdowns.
Thanks again
Just bought the STC2000 so this was real useful - thanks
Glad I bought a $49 Chinese heater rather than a Webato. 2 years so far, sometimes 24/7 for weeks at a time, never full blast. No carbon buildup here at 4000' but I did adjust it for altitude.
Your video was very helpful, thank you
Great information. Thanks for sharing.
Good video guys. I enjoyed learning about your heater. Hope to see the live podcast today.
Excellent informative video! Stay safe and warm...and safe travels.👍👍👍👍👍😊
good info from Oz
I enjoy your videos very much and especially Ruddle..
I’d like to add one in. Guessing with a generator the gas could be tapped off of that. Love the low fuel consumption. Running it hot to clean it is easy, just open the doors 😂. Ol’ Dave chaining up again in the snow ❄️
It’s a dry heat right? As opposed to propane that makes a lot of condensation in an RV.
You guys are the BEST‼️😎
Thank you, Sunny! 😀
Very timely! Great video! Thanks!
Great informational video. HAPPY TRAILS
Great info
Very well done! Highly recommended video Thank you
Hmm, Tracy the Webasto tech seemed to think gas should not be used above 4900 feet, that diesel would be better. Yikes, exhaust moisture freezing in your system! I am feeling discouraged. Thank you so much!
Hi Susan. Our gas Webasto last 2 years before it filled with carbon and needed cleaned out. We probably spent an entire year of that over 5000 feet elevation. We did the maintenance on it and it's back to working normal again. 👍😀
@@oneadVANtureatatime I need it to be working between 8 and 10 k, not just 'over' 5 k
Do you feel that the van you have is enough space for you two or if you had to do over again with more money do you think you would have picked a Travel Trailer or do you think you would still go for the Vanlife? I want to get a Van like what you have but my wife feels that we wouldnt have enough space.
My wife wanted to start in a van but I was like your wife. I couldn't imagine so small a space. We opted for a shuttle bus instead. If you like getting out into the backcountry, though, it's not really a very good option in a shuttle bus. Many of the places they go to would be inaccessible for us.
Thank you
Great information! Thank you for all your research.
Thank you!
Great content, thank you. Keep up the good work.
Great information, guys! 👍
Lots of good information, no matter what brand! But, paying $27.00 for a fuel filter is ridiculous! Go to any auto parts store or small engine shop and pick one up for $3.00 to high as $18.00 for those filters. Most fuel filters are made from China and generally from the same company in China! Now here is a great idea and needs to be known. After your hot burn, you need to bring your temperature back to your setting and run it for a few more minutes to cool down and burn the extra fuel you put into the burn unit. No matter what brand. After three years, I finally pulled mine apart to check for carbon and do full-blown maintenance on it. To my surprise, no carbon really to speak of. Follow three simple tips Change out fuel filter once a year, burn out once a month, and cool down after the hot burn to my regular running temp; then turn off.
Thanks for the video and the good ideas
nice video.
Thank you, Badger! It feels great to have finally solved our heater troubles and help others out. 😀
@@oneadVANtureatatime Stay warm and healthy!!
GREAT video!! Thank you so much!
Good video. One thing that the Webasto tech in the video does talk about is in order to make the heater work hard is to put a fan on low and air out and crack a window. This will cause the heater to run hot and help with or prevent carbon build up at higher altitudes. He talks about a heater that is regularly run at higher altitudes but run hard and was very clean after thousands of hours by doing just that. Watch the VanlifeOutfitters video in full for more great information! Scott at VMACS is also very helpful when I installed my Webasto. I have run it at altitudes over 10K feet with no issues. I wish I had known about the EVO 40 before I bought the STC 2000 but all hope is not lost!
Awesome Jeff! Thank you for sharing about his install video. Yes, making the heater work hard seems to be the key for a long healthy heater. That good to know about 10k feet! We were chicken😂
Wondering if you run the heater on medium/low after you run it hot for an hour? Gets very toasty in my van if it's on high all the time, especially if I need to run it at night. Should I just crack some windows so I can run it on high all the time or do you ever run it on low? Thanks for the great video!
Great info. Thank you.
Very informative, thx so much for sharing
Thank you for watching! 😀
Good information thank you for sharing
Very good info on the Webasto heater, also what brand of snow chains are you using? I'm heading to Colorado soon and I need to add that to my emergency kit. Thanks, travel safe and Happy New Year to the three of you!
Hi Scott! I have beaten up the tire chains so bad I can't read the brand name anymore! They are great chains though. I picked them up at Les Swab tires. They will find the size for you and even cut links off if needed. Plus if you don't use them you can get your money back. Only trouble is that Les Swabs can be hard to find some places as the are a western us chain.
Great info.
Useful. Thanks.
Thanks!
I'm guessing my Australian Webesto heater was probably made in Russia and will need to be switched out to another brand when it needs servicing.
What kind of fuel filter is $27?
I was checking into that heater and read you must use high test fuel. Also no corn fuel . is this true?
Hmm... We just fill our gas tank as normal with no regard to the fuel the heater will be using.🤷♀️
I think I need the EVO because of altitude…but I think the BTUs will burn us out of our PRomaster!???
We agree…. Have you looked at the Espar? One of those has an elevation rating of 9,000 ft.
@@oneadVANtureatatime I didn’t think they were gasoline, but I will ck them out and see. Thank you!
I notice you are using traditional traction chains. Is your suspension and tire size stock? Do you have any rubbing issues with the chains? We love our Webasto heater by the way. Thanks for the helpful tips.
Hi Dan. Our tires and suspension are stock. I do have rub issues above 20 miles an hour. I run slow with them. If I can figure out a way to tighten them up a bit more they will be better.
@@oneadVANtureatatime Thanks for the reply. I've heard the Zchain is a lower profile cable type chain. It sounds like it still rubs if you go voer 30MPH. I guess you just need to slow down, which makes sense if it's that slippery anyhow. Cheers. ;-)
How's the Gold Zero and van battery been working to power the heater? Are you concerned with running the van battery down at night? Is the Gold Zero adequate to start the heater when maximum voltage is needed? Thanks
The goal zero struggles to run the heater from a cold start. The van battery seems to do fine but I always worry we are shortening it's life span. We are going to be upgrading our house battery very soon! I can't wait to have more power. 😀
@@oneadVANtureatatime How many hours can you run your heater before you're concerned with your van (starter) battery not having enough energy to start? Thank you for the Webasto detailed information.
What elevation are you guys most of the time?
I had no idea that Altitude adjustments were a thing.
Yes and they sell high altitude kits that make it all a confusing mess. 😂
95 degrees?
I really wish they made these that ran off gas... you keep saying gas but you mean diesel right ?
+Steven Annett I believe you can now get these models in gas & diesel. Our webasto is gas!!! That is one of the reasons we choose it! The Promaster already comes with a way to tap straight into our fuel tank of the van!
Get an Espar they work at high altitude and run off gas
❤
Great Video Do Not buy This Unit! used it two nights at 8-9000 feet. It Now Does not work. It's almost brand new. Cost me nearly $2000. Completely unacceptable that Webasto does not allow for it to be leaned out for altitude. Crappy engineering. The guys where I bought it at Vanlife Outfitters said it would be okay for occasional use at this elevation; IT IS NOT. The video referenced in this video basically said the same thing. WRONG! So if you want to use it this type of altitude application you have to go through this mess of cleaning it out every other time you use it... or go down to sea level. JUNK!
Thank you for sharing your experience with the Webasto. We are so sorry you are out 2000 dollars not to mention the install time and effort. We did our first maintenance on ours over last summer. It was a solid 6 hour job!
Our next heater will be rated for 9000 feet minimum. Our friends have the Esbar that has that elevation rating. Time will tell if that heater can handle it or not. Let us know if you find a heater you really like, we would love to hear some details. Thank you for watching.
You're supposed to go south when it gets cold.
But if you go North when it's cold there are no crowds 😂 I will admit Florida sounds pretty good right now. We just had a family member move there. 😎
