Make sure you put a fine metal mesh over the exposed ends of inlet and exhaust outlet under the van. If not you'll find next winter the tubes are full of wasps and your new toy won't start. Also remember the system needs winterised diesel - don't leave the tank full of summer diesel and try to start next winter 'cos that's an issue also.
In 2007 I did a self install of a diesel heater in our Kedron van.I can honestly say of All the improvements I did, this was the best. We lived in this van for five years.in 2012 we sold the Kedron and I spent approximately 12 months building our VW 4 motion transporter into a self contained go anywhere campervan I was very reluctant to install a diesel heater in the VW , due to the overall small volume of the VW. We are both old age pensioners and as such the Government in 2019 / 2020 due to COVID-19 were throwing money at us, I also needed a little project. The VW now has a diesel heater, and again I can say that of all the internal iimprovements, this is the best
Great video. Great looking heater. I been doing my homework on them like U and I know U get what U pay for but..... Most of the heaters are around $300.00 mark. The one U have is $3000.00.... big difference. What makes this one you are using better then the cheaper brands. I would love to know by U or anyone that reads this... Ty and keep happy.. 😁
Great video Justin. Cannot believe you have gone so long without one. I purchased a wire basket from Bunnings. Flipped it upside down cut out some spaces and placed it over heater and clipped it to floor. Allows for good airflow and prevents anything from getting to close to the heater.
Hi guys , we love all the vids you do. One suggestion is to mount the diesel tank on the same side as your car fill then you don’t need to struggle with the jerry can and simply top up when you fuel the car.
I've been watching for about a month and really enjoy seeing the world down under. We've always wanted to visit but of course it may be a few years now, still it's on our bucket list. Your channel is providing so much great info for our travel plans.
We spent a night in Bright, Vic and froze all night only to realize the heater we had install under the bed doesn't work if the temp is lower than 5 degrees C. After watching your DIY install we plan on replacing our heater with the same model as yours. Great work as always.
@@TripInAVan yeah diesel heat sounds like the better option, we are heading off to Yungaburra for a change in August, leaving from North East Vic so should be a nice trip.
Guys just worked it out, the wiring plug is part of the fuel pump assembly, it is a matter of twisting the fuel pump around so the electrical wiring plug is at the top of the rubber clamp. I was advised by a caravan technician that the electrical plug needs to be at the highest point. cheers
Fitted one last year, absolutely cannot do without! Going to the snow this year. Just make sure your blankets etc. don’t cover the outlet at the end of your bed, it comes out at 100c +
Hey guys I would disconnect the hose between the cold air inlet and the heater. That way if something is put on the floor blocking the inlet it can draw air from under the bed which is not air tight. Saves the risk of over heating.
you have never had a heater because you follow the sun. one of the most amazing holidays I've ever had was doing Tassie in June. we arrived on June 22nd and traveled down to Bruny Island. shortest day was the 23rd. the kids where going to school in the dark and returning in the dark. just so foreign to QLD. a cultural experience without leaving Australia. it was cold but it was worth it. now you can try a cold change instead of heading north in June go south.
Just fitted one of these heaters and they work a treat, just waiting to test it fully once lockdown finishes. I fitted mine under the couch, made 3 exits, one towards the front another in the bathroom and the last in the centre of the van. Keep the vids coming they awesome and great tips but so inspiring to get out there and also buy great stuff.
Thank you legends. I, ve go the Mrs from no camping to a tent now I have convinced her and we have a camper trailer. diesel heater would make a huge difference
l will talk to you soon as l am going to hospital soon for heart surgery keep those vids coming as l`m stuck at home for the next 6 months i need to watch your magnificent shows to keep my sanity thanks andy sarsfield
Free camping in the past meant rugging up and freezing, use to run the gas stove to try and get some heat, had a diesel heater installed and now toasty warm, just spent 3 weeks touring the Flinders Ranges and down the Murry, certainly made the trip very enjoyable.
I thought I might be able to do it myself but after watching you i now know i can!!, thanks heaps for your video mate much appreciated!! cheers Brian 🤠
Thanks so much for the clear simple instructions on this install. A diesel heater is the next addition to our van - southern nsw is too cold in autumn to spring to be without one. Makes free camping a wonderful option. Really enjoy your vids and watching the kids grow into wonderful young people. Travel safely.
Best thing i installed into our forward fold camper, mainly for our little one, we leave it on low all night. Just a tip, crank it up when you first turn it on and before you turn it off help burn the grit 'apparently' from inside the motor or eventually will clog your injector. 🍻 it literally uses Fdj^# all diesel too btw haha i only chuck 5L in at a time into the tank. Ours also came with a remote push button keychain to turn on or off from your beside haha.
Another quality vid. Thanks. Been looking into these for my old school york reno to keep the wife and kids happy. Certainly better quality than what I was looking at. Thanks for the opportunity. 👌
Got down to 8 degrees overnight in SE QLD for our weekend escape from the hustle and bustle...not even in the peak of winter yet🥶🥶this would be pretty bloody handy to keep us warm. A diesel heater wasn’t even on our minds when we built the van as we are from the Pilbara. We are stuck in Brissie for the misso Placement and can’t start heading north til August. Might be able to keep our little one in her bunk longer, before she takes up most of our bed.
Been watching your episodes for nearly 3 years now and I do agree it is the best accessory that you have bought I would like one in our caravan love your show
I have a portable one. I pipe it in to my van. So good for 0c camping on the murray as i do a lot. Also, handy when hiding under my awning when its pissing rain, it wont blow out like a gas jobby. I just point it at my feet, or move around as needed. Power comes from an anderson plug lead from the 4th battery in the 200 series. Power figures....9 odd amps on start up ( thats the max as thats the glow plug to get ignition, for about 60-90 seconds ) drops to 2.1 amps on flat out mode, and lowest setting is 0.85-0.90 amps. Diesel usage on average is about 220 ML per hour, this varies of course as to how high you have it. Still a shit load cheaper than running a genny to use the a/c in heat mode. Lowest setting, has the van at 23c and the test was done with out side temp 2c.... so bloody warm. You dont know how good these things are until you have one. Keep an eye on your exhaust, you may need to insul wrap it with something, as the heat exchanger will get up to 220c on high, but average about 180c, and a lot of that heat is the same as the exhaust pipe outlet. Thats my humble experience so far with mine, Enjoy!!
Had one installed in our new JB van, it is sooo toasty to warm up van in the morning, and got the van up to 25°C in no time before we got too hot. Well worth it, would not be without one now. PS: we love your show Justin&Bec, watched 15 of your vids all weekend.
I recently fitted a diesel heater to our old van and it’s worked a treat. Our muffler has a small hole for condensation to drain from as I’ve heard they rust out if this breather hole isn’t facing downwards. It might be worth checking this out on yours to make sure it doesn’t rust. We look forward to next week’s episode.
Another good vid guys. Haven’t been on a holiday in over 2 and a half year so living vicariously through your adventures. Be interesting to see how the muffler bracket and single bolt holds up after the vans seen a few more kms on corrugated roads. Hopefully it doesn’t get metal fatigue 🤞. Some protection around the under bed unit could also be a future mod to protect it from gear bashing into it on your travels. Love your work.
Hello Justin and Bec, Happy to see your vid and much more that you got finally a Diesel heater from Eberspächer! The little unit is a ripper! Please make sure that you double bracket the muffler and exhaust pipe as well the combustion air hose. If you don’t use it or very dusty you can just pop a condom over the end to seal it of as dust seal. Viewed all commences and was surprised no one from your audience complained about the price in OZ or praised his cheap Chinese copy. Would also not suit your van btw. My first Eberspächer I fitted 39 years ago to my first VW Bulli ! I should have kept both!! Anyhow one more thing, the unit under the bed will warm up also the the space and dry out any moisture as a added bonus. Safe travel and hopefully you don’t need to use it so often… cheers and safe trip
Sold our old van yesterday and pick up our new one in a couple of weeks. I reckon we will need one of these for the new van. Thanks for the informative video on the installation 👍
Just got my first van and have been looking into diesel heating for an long time, had in camper before and would love an discount as i’m very short on cash after purchase of my very first caravan that im living in. Love your videos by the way, always make my family watch your videos because i truly believe and appreciate the knowledge that you pass on through the videos that your family creates. Truly inspirational❤️🙌🏽🤙🏽
I was so excited when I finally got a Van with an aircon. But the more research I do, the more I think I really need one of these lovely diesel heaters. Especially if I’m wanting to do a lot of off grid.
We are taking the kids to the Vic high country and the snow for the first time this July. One of these in the van would be spot on 👌. Love your work and videos guys 👍 ⛄️ ❄️ 💯
Hi guys, Diesel heater has been in our van for the last 12 months and are a must where we are at the moment, in Robe (Limestone Coast S.A), you will love it and they don't use a lot of fuel. Have fun. Anton & Tania
FINALLY picked up our new van on the weekend after waiting 10 months! So excited - and loving it . . . After our first two nights we have decided a diesel heater is the way to go! Wish we added it to our van when we ordered it - sadly we did not! Thanks for showing us how to put one in - maybe we will get lucky and win 😄👍🏻
Wow great giveaway we definitely need one of these in our caravan ,thankyou for the chance and also we love watching you guys and your kids are awesome ,love your wonderful family trips,take care and safe travels x
Uk caravaner first time watching , we like the channel that’s me the Mrs and the dog looking forward to seeing you on here again , liking the chat my Mrs says your cool 😊 I think your Mrs is cool too
Really enjoyed this video, Very easy to watch and you explained everything perfectly. I went up to Bunnings yesterday to buy a 100 mm hole saw, but when I saw the price of them I thought, I'm not spending that much to drill one hole, then I saw your idea of all the pilot holes and a hacksaw blade, problem solved 😉
Hi I just wish to say a big thank you to you, the diesel heater I got is very similar to yours but no details on installation your video was absolutely wonderful absolutely wonderful so happy another South Australian was able to help go S.A.
A little tip don't screw the fuel pump hard up against the van. Put the clamps a little further down on each side and wrap pump with foam. This will stop the tapping. Your welcome 👍
Entered the comp. Opted for an upgraded Enerdrive lithium system in our new van arriving in July in place of a diesel heater, so it would be a great addition for our planned winter trips. Graet tips and videos. keep them coming!
Awesome video. Hubby was looking at getting us one. Being a bit older we feel the cold lol. Looking forward to a bit of cold weather camping with one of these. And you made it look easy to do ourselves.
Like you we crank the generator up or use a heap off battery power to keep the wife and the two grandkids happy. Second time around with little ones for us. Love you channel keep it coming
Hello, well enjoy your video, instruction were great. Love to see the children in your next video, I missed seeing them. Thanks for the opportunity to enter, warmth at a reasonable price is always welcomed. Have a fabulous week. Sending love from Aussie nomad friends🤗🤗😘
Thank you for your show very informative product wise and trips are what the average people can do free camping is a must and always do the right thing where ever you are . a member of R and S tours
The missus and I just started watching you guys. Nice work, loving all the videos. We're in the process of selling our house and doing pretty much what you guys have done for years. Can't wait, it's all we think about now. Keep em coming :)
better than waking in a refridgerator when free camping in winter, often thought about installing one, I think you sold me on it. See if I can win one first
I’m pretty sure my wife’s going to want one of these when we get our van in a few weeks 😆😆. We just went with the aircon but I can now see it’s not going to cut the mustard when free camping 🤙
@@TripInAVan Wow that’s crazy, just as well your good on the tools. Not an ideal situation if someone was to have a problem with the van either with wait times like that.
I had to do a double take on the date of this upload, I've literally been searching diesel heaters all week. We've got a trip coming up in June in country Vic so definitely something we need!
Life is treating you both well..in the last seconds looking years younger. Bec's face has slimmed ..Must be all the fresh fish Justin is catching. Bec those that are trying to con you to cut you're hair ..let them cut their own. Your hair your choice, looks great. 🥂⚘
I've watched your video a few times now and I just love your presentation, the both of you. You sound like a lovely couple. I have liked and subbed and I am about to look for some of you other videos. cheers from Brisbane.
Heya bud! Good install. Only advice would be to extend the exhaust flush to your van. This way you don't get C02 build up underneath your van. Also, buy a C02 meter from bunnings or ebay $20. Save your family!
Make sure you put a fine metal mesh over the exposed ends of inlet and exhaust outlet under the van. If not you'll find next winter the tubes are full of wasps and your new toy won't start. Also remember the system needs winterised diesel - don't leave the tank full of summer diesel and try to start next winter 'cos that's an issue also.

Fantastic. We've had a cheap diesel heater and a dear one. Both excellent. Sooo luxurious in a van.
I would put in 2 panels under the bed to surround the heater to protect it from things banging on it down road 👏

Nice video. Insane price though. 2k+ for this unit is out of this world. From all reports a $250 ebay job works quite well
Yeah the cheap ones do work 👌
I can't believe its taken you so long to install one, one of the first things we did and we don't travel full time like you.
In this cold Victorian weather, my hubby, kids and I would very much appreciate this. We love following your adventures and getting inspo
Our pleasure!
I've just ordered my new heater , and this was so good to watch , I'm not worried about fitting it to my van . Can't wait to fit it
Great give away, thank you for a chance to warm the family
Nice unit. My only suggestion is to extend the exhaust out beyond the cab to avoid it getting into camper. Thanks for posting
Slowly fumbling our way through rigging out our van with your help! Thanks for doing all the hard work for us 😀

thanks for the information, saved us a lot of time researching different heaters, and possibly buying the wrong one.

G'day, hey you should get the travel bag for the thermie so that it is not bouncing around on the legs [scales].
One of the best diesel heater install videos out there...cheers digger.
Get yourself a holesaw set. Perfect for this job and heaps of others.
Hubby has been a little hesitant on these - we've been waiting for a video like this - Thanks guys!!
Cheers, glad you enjoyed it
You are amazing. Your videos and the way you explain things makes it possible for us to install things. Thank you so much 👍
Thankyou for watching
Unrelated, but loving that bedspread 😍
How awesome is it having a diesel heater. Game changer.
So good, and bedspread 😍
Really enjoyed this video, Very easy to watch and you explained everything perfectly. I went up to Bunnings yesterday to buy a 100 mm hole saw, but when I saw the price of them I thought, I'm not spending that much to drill one hole, then I saw your idea of all the pilot holes and a hacksaw blade, problem solved 😉
Good stuff, saves ya a few dollars hey
Hi I just wish to say a big thank you to you, the diesel heater I got is very similar to yours but no details on installation your video was absolutely wonderful absolutely wonderful so happy another South Australian was able to help go S.A.
A must-have, thanks for the excellent installation video, it isn't as hard as I thought it would be! Cheers guys.
Glad it helped
Nice work mate 👍
Your actually a pretty good presenter.
I try😂🍺🍺
I would love one of these for keeping me and mainly the misso warm so she wants to come camping more.
A little tip don't screw the fuel pump hard up against the van. Put the clamps a little further down on each side and wrap pump with foam.
This will stop the tapping.
Your welcome 👍

We could do with one of these in our house, our gas heater is done.
Great idea haven’t thought of the heating side of things thanks for showing us that we can do this. Sounds like it’s worth the money 👏👏
Any time!
Another great informative video guys, just came home from 4 weeks travelling south west NSW and it started to get very chilly overnight.

You have made it look so easy to install..... inspired me now!!!
“Happy as a Nun” David ,,, love it
A pretty topical subject at the moment in country Vic. Brrrrrrr 🥶
Absolutely
The missus and I just started watching you guys. Nice work, loving all the videos. We're in the process of selling our house and doing pretty much what you guys have done for years. Can't wait, it's all we think about now. Keep em coming :)
Awesome mate, congrats
i fitted one to our van best investment we ever made absolute game changer in the colder months
Would love to get this smart handy unit in our camper trailer so we can go travel in winter. Thanks for the video
Cheers
better than waking in a refridgerator when free camping in winter, often thought about installing one, I think you sold me on it. See if I can win one first
Good luck champion
I’m pretty sure my wife’s going to want one of these when we get our van in a few weeks 😆😆. We just went with the aircon but I can now see it’s not going to cut the mustard when free camping 🤙
Yeah bud, for cold mornings this is mint
Great job!, I’m sure you could have had it installed by someone as a part of the promotion but great to see you did it yourself. Respect ✊
Good luck getting any work done on your van unless you book it in 3 months ahead
@@TripInAVan Wow that’s crazy, just as well your good on the tools. Not an ideal situation if someone was to have a problem with the van either with wait times like that.
Thanks, mate. Well done and informative. So much better than the instructions that came with the unit I got.
Made it look so easy!! Def keen for some diy upgrades when our van arrives. Nice work guys 🤙
Awesome! Thank you!
You both look so happy. Amazing what a difference heater can make ? LOL.
😂😂
I had to do a double take on the date of this upload, I've literally been searching diesel heaters all week. We've got a trip coming up in June in country Vic so definitely something we need!
Good luck
Life is treating you both well..in the last seconds looking years younger. Bec's face has slimmed ..Must be all the fresh fish Justin is catching.
Bec those that are trying to con you to cut you're hair ..let them cut their own. Your hair your choice, looks great. 🥂⚘
Yeh he wishes he got fish.
We are heading to the snow next week, for the season, in our caravan! We were thinking of getting a diesel heater!
It would be great at the snow
@@TripInAVan i agree! Warm wife = happy life!
Seriously would love this when we head off next month for 12 months! Yahooooo 🌅👍
G’day guys that looked fairly easy might try the install myself cheers for that
I've watched your video a few times now and I just love your presentation, the both of you. You sound like a lovely couple. I have liked and subbed and I am about to look for some of you other videos.
cheers from Brisbane.
Thanks heaps mate
Justine, you could have gone to Bunnings and bought a hole saw set for $20 and saved a lot of time.
Ya reckon you’d get a 6 inch hole saw for $20???
Heya bud! Good install.
Only advice would be to extend the exhaust flush to your van.
This way you don't get C02 build up underneath your van.
Also, buy a C02 meter from bunnings or ebay $20. Save your family!
