@@semi-wild-alaska Thanks for watching! This is absolutely one of the best spots in the state. I’ve tried maybe a dozen times to get the point and every other to me I’ve been down that way it’s already had a group there.
We have similar set-ups. I just ran across your channel. To each their own, but I'd be a little leery of having the combustion chamber/exhaust connection on the inside of the tent. I did a slightly more conventional heater build in a one size smaller harbor freight box with the tank on the outside. It hangs from the rail of the camper and the heat goes in a similar port to what you have. Works great and no concerns about carbon monoxide from the exhaust. Would be fun to chat about the set-ups. Oh, I just got my starlink mini also. :)
I had concerns last winter about carbon monoxide but after running one internally all winter with the exhaust pushing out and two monitors inside to be safe I found it not to be a concern. The Heater I run now is just a modification that allows for easier packing and unpacking and the larger fuel can lets me run all weekend and have an easier time refilling compared to the cases with the fuel mounted directly to the heater.
@@dogandajeep Yep, I hear ya. I was also thinking it might be smart for you to have the diesel in the heated space to keep it from gelling. Not too much of an issue for me since I only camp down to about 0F or so (with a bit of additive).
@ I was looking into recycling the heated air but did some research and for every 90 degree angle it’s losing significant heat and it adds to the setup time when I get to camp. Did a cold camp at -40° last week and if I had to spend 4-5 minutes just setting up the heater outside and connecting hoses I wouldn’t have gone. At that temperature I can maybe get 2-3 minutes of setup before I have to get back into the truck to warm up again so having the heater ready to go minus plugging it in and dropping the standpipe into the wavian can makes setting it up and starting it a 30 second affair
@@dogandajeep Yep. I've got my setup down to a minimum also - hang on the side of the rig, jam on the exhaust (~8" long), hot air tube to the port in the door, one cable which does power and control (also built into the port assembly). I have the controller mounted inside. Also, I do carry a large diameter tube (larger diameter = less restriction) to pull partially warm air from the nose of the wedge - that's where it's the coldest and is most likely to have condensation due to this. I only set up the recirc air when it's quite cold. I only run a 2kw - with my insulation package, it's fine. Also, I sleeve the hot air tube with the next larger size - dead air space insulation... makes a huge difference for heat loss when I check with the thermal camera. You can see a pic of my truck on the cover of the current Northology mag.
Looks so peaceful and cold 😅 question, I'm considering a Vevor diesel heater for my build and while you were sitting inside next to the heater I could hear a clicking noise, was that the Vevor? Do they make noise?
@@Georgesadventure I upgraded the fuel pump to the more powerful one because I have the fuel can farther away than you normally would so the fuel pump needs to work harder to access the fuel. The fuel pump itself makes noise BUT I am unsure how loud the vevor pump is. It does click but between the fan blowing, the clicking, and how comfy I am I just fall asleep. I don’t sleep as well when it’s quiet so the fuel pump pulls me to sleep honestly
@@dogandajeep I'm building a Chevy Express and wanted to put the heater inside the van but I don't want the diesel inside that's why I asked. So I assume the pump is in the heater enclosure and pulls from the tank
@ the heater itself is just that the heater. The pump is separate so it could be mounted externally especially if you’re planning on having the diesel externally contained as well
Just found your channel and love it! Haven’t posted on mine in quite a while but I drive a gladiator and am down in Kenai/Soldotna if you’re ever down that way and want to meet for coffee!
@@AllOverOverland Merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, happy Festivus, and Happy New Year! I can’t begin to wrap my head around the complete and total difference of the lake compared to this exact time last year.
Merry Christmas to you as well! If you don't mind pinstripes and scratches you can fit a full size down most trails although you'll likely need to do some maneuvering in spots that I can just crawl around.
@dogandajeep thanks for the information, I'm researching future vehicles for when I travel to Alaska and Canada in my retirement years. Looking at Jeep gladiator with a diesel, Ram with a diesel or GMC with a diesel. A lightweight pop-up camper is on the list so I can find nice spots like you do to camp a night. Getting great ideas off your videos and others on setup. Like the diesel heater setup inside the camper, I use mine for icefishing here in Minnesota. Looking forward to more videos from you, best of luck and happy new year.
OK, that is the best use of a septic slide valve I have ever seen. Outside the box is pretty cool way to think.
Awesome! Great meeting you last night. Looking forward to Watching more of your adventures!
@@McSpeedAlaskanAdventures it was great meeting you as well! New years was awesome with everyone out there.
I can’t wait for a bit of snow to take my new tiny camper out!
Ugh... the lighting... so perfect. Thanks for sharing!
@@NorthologyAdventures the pastels of Alaskan winter!
Nice video! We love this spot to camp. Great Jeep build too. Looking forward to more videos!

@@dogandajeep We've never gotten that spot either! Looks like you had the place to yourself. Perfect. Looks like you had a good Christmas!
@ escaped the -30° weather in fairbanks thankfully lol
Awesome video dude!
Appreciate it! When can we expect some new Land Cruiser content on your page 👀
Looks like it was awesome down there man. Crazy how little snow we have on our end of the state haha😅.
We are holding all the snow hostage up in Fairbanks it feels like. We are getting more next week lol

BRO!

Merry Christmas, do you feel a full size truck can fit down most of the off road trails or are they Jeep sized? Thanks
Merry Christmas to you as well! If you don't mind pinstripes and scratches you can fit a full size down most trails although you'll likely need to do some maneuvering in spots that I can just crawl around.
