I can be more accurate with usage. 100ah/1200wh lifepo4 battery from fogstar drift. My laptop/tablet draws very little it seems used 5-6 hours or so per day. I would like to use less now it is getting warmer again as my main impetus living in this tiny van is to be outside of it more than...

Yea I get that it is worst than breathing fresh air. I am just wondering how bad. I mean humans have inhaled fumes from campfires since as long as we know and now that is said to be really bad for you too. I am not saying doing what we did in the past is good and sure life expentancy was low in...

Diesel stoves are not the same as normal heaters. The intake and exhaust pipes are actually inside the van because the stove has to be raised to a level to cook on. Even the wallas instruction manual says to expect a smell which indicates it is not an installation issue if they had to put it in...

Indeed this is the way I had thought of too. That is a great way to burn off excess as they are so power hungry. I suppose then I will have to get an inverter for this? Was wanting to avoid having to use inverters but guess will have to for powering that. Have not looked into the technology at...

In this video david mckluckie, who seems highly regarded on these forums for his self powered diesel heater, argues that it is perfectly safe to exhaust the fumes directly into the space where you are in so long as the carbon monoxide alarm isn't going off. In the description I noticed he added...

Thinking along these same lines I bought this but it didn't work at all! It seems that while it may be diesel tight it was not air tight at all and the suction no longer worked and no diesel would pull past the connection. A tiny bit came up to the upper part of the other side of the connector...

Everyone shit on flexibles but just these 2 x 200w flexible renogies are performing better than I would have ever anticipated from all the shit people gave it online before buying them. I noted the highest peak I have seen so far the other day at around 121w. All this and still only on the cusp...

Initially it was not screwed down so I just lifted it out of the passenger footwell and moved it round to the side where the main tank port is. I did think I could make it demountable again however this is not really good since I would have to constantly be pulling the fuel pipe connector on...

Why no love for this thread when this thread got so much attention? The topic is very similar.

Why no love for this post when my previous post on ventilation got 7 pages of discussion?

That was it. Finally got it going after a couple of more suggestions along this line. Was able to find a step down convert for only just under 2 pounds which is adjustable. See here. Working fantastically now. Really pleased to have plugged away and figured it out rather than acquiescing to...

Currently heater is at mid level of the van, placed right at the rear and facing the front. As such the heat spreads in a jet from the 30cmx6 approx aperture rising to the ceiling. I am only in a transit connect and thought it would be so small that it wouldn't matter and the whole space would...

Thanks for the detailed reply. I have actually been looking at this one. They custom key for security purposes as that is the main reason I would want it. I noticed many have just generic key so anyone could carry them with them although I guess that is pretty unlikely the opportunist theif...

1. How or moreso where to install starter battery disconnect? I know the process generally of how from doing leisure battery electrics though with installing a starter battery disconnect I am not sure where you fix it since there is no circuit board under the hood that I could see like with...

You are. The stock charger works flawlessly. There is a second charger, which is not the standard one, which I tried because it says 12v which I thought might be the same as charging from my leisure battery to compare it. It charges from the mains with that one but extremely slowly. Not...
