    Girl, you need a back window cover!!! Asap, why haven’t you invested in those window covering all van lifers use?? And probably something to separate the cab to the back also a curtain. Something to keep your heat in the back area where you both sleep. 😊😊😊❤❤❤

  • @lewisshaw3087
    @lewisshaw3087 9 месяцев назад +92

    Your best to keep the heater on for much longer. Short periods can clog up the heaters with soot. Keep it at a medium flow/heat and then ramp it up before turning off to burn any soot off. Just speaking from experience, jealous of your rig!

    • @cabracove
      @cabracove 9 месяцев назад +6

      Good advice. Ten minutes on high before shutdown.

    Alaska is just so beautiful. But it looks cold! You've become a little chef and it's good you are eating so healthy for being on the road. 8.19 is unreal for Ranch. OMG.

  • @DrinkingWithJake
    @DrinkingWithJake 9 месяцев назад +17

    Hey so I’m a HVAC guy and if your air intake is under that floorboard I suspect you run a much greater risk of the heater going into high limit shut off mode. I at least suggest that you move the cold air return to an open space. Not a small enclosed space. Love your channel. Stay warm up there! Sending love from Ohio!

  • @irishdefense77
    @irishdefense77 9 месяцев назад +1

    Just a small piece of advice on running a 300TDI diesel in a Defender.Idle it for at least 3-5 minutes before shutting it down.These engines are turbocharged and oil cools the turbo-when you shut it off-oil flow stops dead.The turbo is cooled by the oil flow from the oil pan and when you shut it off-you cease the oil flow.Turbochargers run 4 times hotter than your water temp-so the coolant may be 200 degrees,but the turbo can get over 1000 degree pulling hard-Idling will save you a turbo.

    I use a small fan to blow the hot air around, you could direct it up into your bed loft, pointing it from the where the heat comes out of that small vent put a fan on the floor pointing up into the top of your Papa. You won’t believe how hot is gonna get up there👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    The heater has a thermostat and a setting which is just past the reading on the control of 720 . If you set it on that it will cycle on and off automatically when the heater drops below your desired temp.

    I read The Power of Now about ten years ago - I really wish that book had been around when I was a young man, I could have gained much from a book like that. If you have difficulty allowing yourself to be in the moment or your mind feels like it's running away with past or future thoughts all the time, The Power of Now might be for you. This book was also a good launch off point to begin A Course In Miracles, which I believe Tolle may even reference in The Power of Now. Lot's to unlearn and learn!

    @9:15 I would feel much better if you would continue that heater exhaust pipe further out and half way up. so that the wind doesnt blow the "deadly" fumes under the chassis.
    heavy overnight snowfall could build up and block off any feasible escape route for the fumes and the fumes could build up inside your sleeping area.
    you can buy flexible exhaust pipe to do the job I think.

    @briancclevenger 9 месяцев назад

    Points for the diesel heater but using the top to your rig only lets the heat escape more, it's not made for cold and trapping heat in. Watch your diesel level drop when using the top as it'll have to run more to account for the heat loss. It's so good to see blu with his energy level. Praying for many many years together. Stay safe and take care.
