I am working on a diesel heater configuration that I can mount inside or outside the truck, non-permanently. Goal is to support winter camping.
Edit: question answered
If it’s possible to move this to Facebook I can respond easier otherwise I’ll try and get everything to my laptop from my phone.
Long story short I have a heater semi permanent in the camper for the winter and then I remove it for the summer.
The biggest issue is refueling and the exhaust pipe getting insanely hot.
No fucking chance in hell I would mount this inside, even with a pair of alarms. The $1-2k units I would trust but not a $100 Chinese knockoff
Kinda of related to the pervious comment,
I’m curious as to your thought process on the benefits of an interior mount.
Is it a stealth thing, just trying to have one less thing to set up, concern about theft, or a “stay warm while refueling” type of desire?
I’ve seen a pretty good use of a tire step as a stable exterior mount that keeps it off the ground and the heat tube relatively short run
For those concerned I’ve run a vevor internally mounted for over a year without issues. It keeps the tent warmer than an externally mounted heater which is needed for winter camping in the interior of Alaska.
Anywhere not Alaska or northern Canada an internally mounted heater isn’t needed unless you go through the steps of hard mounting it similar to what you would do with a webasto.
yeah so mine started leaking and pretty soon started throwing error codes…
i’m getting a new one and just going to do outside…
the thought was i could switch inside and outside depending on the scenario… inside would be for when i wasn’t camping, just wanted heat in there while tailgating or other tailgate open shenanigans in the city… outside would be for when camping and sleeping
decided i’ll just use my mr buddy for the indoor, tailgate open shenanigans
