    The electric is very nicely done and simple. I have a question tho about these powerstation batterypacks. Are they okay to leave connected to shore power for about 3 to 4 days while using the electrics inside the van? Does it regulate the loading and unloading of the battery? Or is it more like a straight through kinda deal?

    • @DGMAMedia

    How much does it cost to run the diesel heater? And what kind did you install?

    • @DGMAMedia
      @DGMAMedia  6 місяців тому +2

      The heater tank is about 2 gallons! So filling it would cost about $6 and would last around 38 hours of constant use! But it’s a 2kw diesel heater!
