Correct… I really could have worded all of that better.
I basically have this heater https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09H5JJM7W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s02?ie=UTF8&th=1
and am just plumbing out the exhaust, I usually run it on Kerosene as it is less stinky if spilled and evaporates away better. While I know it costs more I appreciate those aspects enough to pay the difference. I also usually transport it in a Rubbermaid container just so that if it tips etc it doesn’t spill and only comes out when it is going to be used.
This is the most amazing set up I’ve seen yet!
Testing the hole in the floor (not a wide enough area on the side) when done it will just sit flush against the floor and back wall
When I get around to my heater, I’m going to get a snap on/snap off port that I’ll install on the side panel as to keep the heater on the outside… an example of what I’m thinking is this ( not my set-up) circled in red. It does mean I’ll have to pull out the hole saw and void the warranty but I think this is the cleanest way to do it and still be able to pipe the heat in
What brand is that trailer?
Well it works as I had planned. Exhaust just goes under the truck but not too worried
Due to the direction of the silencer I did put another weep hole in
My straight connection shows up tomorrow but this will be a tidy package for when I really need more warmth and to dry things out.
Any plans to wrap the exhaust with exhaust tape? i know its right by the truck’s exhaust so its already hot in that area but I’ve seen how some f them get red hot due to the material they use
Not as of yet… but its not a bad idea… I usually only want a heater when it is single digits so I dont know if it will need it or not…
For anyone interested, that heater setup was developed and is sold by Yona Adventure Gear. I believe the owner said he was opening the website up tonight for additional orders as he just got through his backorder. He’s also developed a “Tent Vent” as a passthrough for the tent portion.
No Idea… I told the owner to chime in here so maybe he can help you with that.
edit: @MBBME beat me to it
I had sent a join link to the owner, not sure if he ever joined. I do know that he’s also trying to sell his current setup and possibly grab a used V1 for his Tacoma.
ummmmm… we are not talking about that at the moment… also no-one will notice until next year at the soonest
A lot of people don’t think it’s safe to have an all in one in an enclosed space. You want the heater’s exhaust to go directly out with any connection made outside to avoid a leak inside.
The trailer is a BADAC trailer, they are made in OK. My buddy lived in one with his family for something like 8months traveling the country. Everything he learned during that time is put into these trailers.
Thank you! It looks sick
Awesome, and made 20 minutes from home.
Thanks for the great tip.
Curious if anyone has had any clever hot air routing ideas with heater in bed but air directed into the tent portion. (Besides removing a cushion or heater outside with hose into tent window/door which seems common).
I saw one set up where the guy cut his smaller panel down by 6 in on one side to fit a board drilled with 2’ holes to allow hot air to come up.
I was actually thinking about making a duct that would come up into the short end of the wedge. Don’t really need much padding up there so a flat duct that has a 3 inch quick connect through the floor and a wood or metal (both) duct about 2 inches tall 8 wide. Maybe one on the other side as well or shorten a pad for return air…
