    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.. 😁

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    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

    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 🤙

    Thanks guys, another great video. Entered the comp, I so need one of these, I absolutely hate the cold but winter is the best time to camp.

    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???

    Our new van that is coming doesn’t have a diesel heater but I’m thinking I want one now especially as we are considering going to Victoria in August. Not sure the hubby is as handy and not sure I could be as calm as Bec with holes being cut in the van 😂🤣

    Great install video guys, really well done! Can we ask Justin if he managed to finish his front boot Mini Webber slide? And If so where can we order one from? Thanks guys keep up the great work!..👍

    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

    Great video. Convinced me that I’m no chance of installing one....if I win, I’ll be off to my local caravan installer 😀

    Thankyou for suggesting to install a stainless steel shim to stop the rattling on the tow neck. Really enjoy your vids 😀

    You guys are great. Good personalities. Kids have one of the best childhoods.
    Episode couple weeks ago with dolphins was awesome.
    Def need diesel heater where we are. Not saying where but we not on the mainland 😂
    Few of us go 4wding and camping. Stress less holidays are the best.

    Good job, just a quick note to keep you guys motivated, I run a shuttle bus service in Airlie Beach, I've been watching you guys for a while, recently I had a group up here in Airlie going out on a bare boat charter because they had saw your channel... we all commented on how well you put this video out there and that you are an inspiration to many...
    I'll be converting an old coaster soon and this heater will be a must...
    Any hints for hot water?
    Also a link to free camping would also be appreciated if you have one.
    Keep up the good work and stay warm!!!

      Ah cheers mate! Thanks for the message🍺 we run a swift hot water system in our van. Gas/electric, works great 👌

    One of these in the van would have been great when we went to Stanthorpe (Qld Barossa Valley) in winter 🥶 ❄️. Cheers guys

      Stanthorpe was -3 a couple of nights ago, definitely would be a welcome accessory then.
