Why not sell a better product
I haven’t had issue with mine yet, what issues are you having?
I've watched so many videos on if anyone made an all in one diesel heater kit. The answer is none. So I started spreading words.
I made 2 all in one unit so far.
The Ridgid medium size box had so much room.
I had room for the heater, 20ah lithium battery, solar controller, AC to DC charger, cooling fan, USB, 12v Socket, and quick detachable 5 liter fuel tank.
This one is bit bulky and heavy
My 2nd all in one is made of Apache 4800 case.
I kept it simple. I added a diesel heater. The trick is to mount the heater flat on the bottom with both exhaust and intake exiting the case without the pipes.
That gives you plenty of room to add a 20ah lithium battery and the AC to DC charger.
I also did a quick detachable fuel tank.
Much lighter and not so bulky.
Both are weather tight. It can handle heavy down pours.
The bottom of the case does need legs to elevate the box so the exhaust and intake doesn't get damaged.
I added a quick connect legs with wing nuts.
That’s cool that you found a way to add the battery in. I never really thought about adding the battery to the box.
Nice build look forward to video of how well it worked! Be aware your fuel tank may leak where you drilled through the tank for your fitting. If it does consider using a draw straw for supplying fuel guaranteed no leakage.Good job!!
Thank you, I have used it many times in -5 to 27 degree winter night. It works great. I only made one modification. I got rid of the car lighter plug and switched to a 12v invertor.
Good video, well presented. Of course, these are also available in an all in one unit, if you don't want to build your own.
Great video. Thanks for the help
All parts used are in the description and if you need help let me know. Thanks
Overall, neatly done but I'd consider doing a few things differently...
1. Control panel outside the case with an extension cable as needed. Electronics are susceptible to premature failure due to heat, and the temp sensor for the thermostat is located in the case. That can't function well unless your just using pulse, and dont care about thermostat control.
2. Get away from the cigarette lighter stuff - generally to light for the amp draw and too prone to accidental disconnection. Try Anderson connectors, or the XT90's
3. Skip the supplied air intake / "silencer" The screen ones provide better air flow. Heck, even a screen on the end would work better.
4. Get shorter screws for that marine exhaust!
Thanks for the information, I am using the pulse rate of 3 hrtz like you mentioned and not the thermostat. I'm working on getting Anderson connections like you mentioned as well. Yeah the screws are driving me nuts being long. I will do a update video of the changes made. Thanks you for watching !
Okay now this makes sense.
What did you use for the heater mount plate?
The stock plate that it came with drilled holes through it and bolted it to the box
Thanks.
@@mjdpainting1916 No problem all the parts list is in the description.
Did you have to put a bend on the stock plate? Mine is just a flat plate.
@@mjdpainting1916 Yes I did bend it
Damn dude that clever.
Thank you, I am not the originator of the idea. I just watched enough videos to build my own.
I didn't think to use muffler sealant good idea. That fuel pump/filter looks like it gets pretty close to the exhaust when the lids closed. A heat shield couldn't hurt
Hi thanks for watching! It’s running great. I drilled large air holes in the bottom to let out that heat. The hole hasn’t melted and my box doesn’t get as hot as you would expect. It is something I do watch though.
Nice set-up !! Can you tel me the part number of the box are you using on this video. I try to make te same on my Overland Delica. Thank's
Hi! Thanks for watching the video, it’s the 4800 box the link to harbor freight for the box is in the description. I also included all the parts links as well. Let me know if you need more help.
Most Ecoflow Jacery ect powerbanks 12v outlets wont give the amps needed . and you wil have to use the 110v AC and use a 110v / 12v 20 amp power supply
I have a 12v 20amp power supply that I converted it to. I should do an update video.
I have the Apache 3800 and looking to install a 2kw heater. Would these parts align to that also do you think?
It should align no problem.
Thanks for the detailed vid. I am in the process of getting a diesel heater and match it to my ecoflow river 2 max. I had a few people tell me not use cig lighter to power the diesel heater. How is yours working out and any issues?
So my first year with the diesel heater and the cigaret lighter outlet was fine no issues. My 2nd season with the socket got loose and I would lose power.
I went ahead and hardwired the heater to a laptop 12v to 120v adapter similar to a lap power plug and now it works great no issues
@@BareBackBroncos Thank you for the response. I am thinking of doing the same thing. But AC mode gobbles up more juice from my power station so I wanted to avoid that if possible. But seems like this is the only option.
It’s not to bad, I have a river pro max and I can get 2 nights with it on setting 3-4
@@BareBackBroncos Thanks man. This is very helpful. Nothing beats experience of those who went ahead of you. Keep those vids coming!
@@johnkim8875 Good luck! If you need help just send a message and I’ll try to help. I have the parts list in the description. Thanks for the kind words.
Can you buy them already the unit all assembled like that?
yes you can on amazon amzn.to/46AxRp1
Don’t they over heat in a box ?
Hello - it’s vented and I haven’t had issues yet. The heater housing doesn’t get hot from what I can tell.
@@BareBackBroncos helpful thank you 👍
Where did u source the 3" flanges from?
Complete list of parts and links are in my description below video called Mass air inlet, you will need 2
A Vevor is the last thing you should buy.
