@@Niafifia I do not at this time. Glad to help.

@@NiafifiaVery welcome. If you are talking about my opening discussion about Buddy Heaters, yes they made the inside of my tent wet. This was one of the reasons I moved to the Propex heater, since combustion is separate from the heated air and does not create a moisture problem. When I talk about the tent being wet at the end of the video it was from the rain outside the tent only. Inside was perfectly dry. I guess I should have been more specific. At any rate, once I got home I set the tent up again so the outside would dry, since it is never good to store a tent wet for long periods. Hope that helps.

@@carloszeigler This is exactly the information I needed to understand why it doesn't create condensation. I knew it didn't make sense (my wrong) at the end of the video, thinking you were somehow still ok with the heater if it caused condensation. I just didn't understand why it doesn't. I've been researching a lot, and this way is still the best I've seen. I just have to make up my mind to spend the cash! :) I'm sure I will. It is good for many reasons to have this. Heating a room in the house in an emergency. Heating frozen pipes. Enjoying to camp. I just talked myself right into it :) Thanks again!!

@@Niafifia It allows me to camp all year and provides comfort for my kids and dogs. Also, the forests are less crowded in winter. Yes it is not cheap but it will last a long time and is a good investment. Best.

Sorry, I am not a vendor, but just a DIY guy. Best of luck.

You are welcome! Thankfully the ShiftPod mini is easier and less bulky. I bought two Bluetooth connected temperature sensors by Govee, so I can log environmental data on my next trip. Their app plots temperature, humidity and so on vs time.

I had no issues with heat. The metal enclosure which makes up the Propex heater did not even get hot to the touch. The exhaust is the only hot area. Hope this helps.

Thanks! Big fan of your channel. I have been happy with it so far. After watching your video on different size propane tanks I bought a 5 lb and 10 lb so I don’t have to lug the 20 lb tank. Trying to keep it simple and reduce weight.

@@carloszeigler thanks! Yeah I’ve recommended diesel heaters in the past but the leaking thing always has me worried it’s going to break open and spill everywhere while offroading. Got the propex December 2022 and haven’t been able to build anything. Might build this. Did the measurements on the ai box and it won’t fit so I’ll likely go this route.

I purchased the regulator from VanCafe along with the Propex heater. You can choose it as an option. I believe it is made by Flame King and can be purchased from them as well. The hose fits and connects directly to the regulator without any adapters using Teflon thread tape.

Yes that is correct! Red is positive and white is ground or neutral.

Thank you my friend!

I agree the back needs protection. I mounted the thermostat to plywood. I finished the plywood with spray can bedliner. Let me know if this answers your question.

@@carloszeiglerThat does! Thanks for sharing. I’ll do the same!

I have not detected any smell, and was looking for it since I know it can be an issue. They are intended for car heater ducting and seem to be better quality.

Great question! I can go over the factory specs and then talk about the results of my limited field testing. For the power use, it uses 1.7 A (20 W at 12 V). So for my Renogy power pack, which is 72 Ah, it will last 42 hours of continuous running (more on that later). For the propane, the factory spec on consumption is 150 g/hour, which works out to 0.33 pounds per hour. If you had a 10 pound propane tank, it would last 30 hours of continuous use. Thing is, real world it will last longer because the unit has a thermostat and only comes on as needed to maintain the temperature of your space, and your propane and power consumption will be less or more depending on the set point of the thermostat. In my field testing, I set the temp for 65 degrees for a little over 12 hours using a 1000 Wh Jackery power pack and a 20 lb propane tank. When I was done I had used 23% of the battery or 230 W, and propane use seemed negligible for such a large tank. Hope that helps. I can do updates as I do more field testing.

Thank you!

Here is a video of it used in negative temps. ruclips.net/video/ntzt1O60xl8/видео.htmlsi=MxpCFumR5G5zzM5Y

You’re welcome! I use it for my ground tent but it will also work for a RTT. For a camper I would recommend a more permanent install.

Thanks! LMK if you have any specific questions.

Good question! I had the same concerns and asked around. I was told the exhaust duct length was not as critical as the intake. In my build I kept the intake duct longer which makes sure the flow is correct for combustion. So far it seems to work great.

@@carloszeigler thanks - appreciate the quick response! 👊
