Diesel Heater for winter warmth!

I love what @keeganbuilds posted and this is the route I’ll be going with… will be mounting that in the area circled in red and I’ve already measured it so that when the panel is flipped up, it does not hit the Awning bag

I just recently put my heater in. It didn’t actually take care of the dog venting issue like yours but it was simple and rather painless.

He isn’t on this forum yet but I’ve been trying to convince Ben, the owner of Yona Adventure Gear to get on here and sell them as he already makes this attachment and I posted a picture of that in the other heater thread I believe…… the port that I will be installing is a Yona product

Same pictures that were posted in the other thread…… this is Ben’s trailer and product and you can see where I circled in red

Things to pay attention to.

2kw heaters utilize a 60mm hose.
5kw heaters utilize a 75mm hose.

output temps on 5kw heaters will melt MOST plastics.

Dont use anything made from PVC due to heat releasing toxis gases

the idea on mine is that in the summer time I turn my fan on and it pulls cool air through the whole tent. and since I incorporated a screen no bugs get in too.

For the sleek look, absolutely go with @keeganbuilds ‘s design…. I happen to like the chunky look and I’m more of a set it and forget it kind of person

excited to see what you come up with

Absolutely!.. I’m loving all the different ideas and perspectives on how to do this… I actually even had an idea the other day but this is 10000000x times above my abilities where we could take out the end plate on the lower frame (V2) and plug that with an adapter attachment for the hose in the D shape of the frame and then perhaps install a vent at one or two points along its length and that’ll give it “central heat” but I’m not sure how that would impact strength and integrity but maybe not that much as there are already two access holes on the outside edge for the clamps ( I already have those sealed up with plugs)… warranty would be fukked though

I had an original idea of slipping a shop vaccuum head up between the buttons of the bottom part of the tent canvas. If anyone wants to try that idea

Great idea! That would be for the V1 correct?

yup exactly what i was thinking

I wouldn’t want to drill anything on the door. Its more expensive than a cubby in the bed, to replace

I agree with you, would love NOT to drill a hole in the panel… my challenge is that the driver’s side cubby is occupied by the twin ARB compressor and the driver’s side cubby is where all the solar, shore, and other power cables run through… My only concern is that metal is easier to seal and cover up than fabric

I bought my Propex from SureMarine, online. They were great to work with. I emailed them about stock and got a response in about an hour. Called shortly after to confirm/place an order and it was a done deal. Received it that week.
