Looks way more convenient than a diesel heater. More research needed!
Great setup and video! I have a diesel heater that I haven't set up yet, but I like this much better as a heater option.
Great video!! Good info and great job on the build!! Will be looking forward to more as to long term in the cold as you know we now live in very cold.
Great set up! I've owned a propex for almost a year trying to figure out how to turn it into something useful, I think this is the route. Adventure Wagon has these "Aux box" boxes that I think would work prefect for this.
I went with a similar idea. Main difference is my box is only a carrying case, not built as a complete unit, as I need the heater to be able to fit in both my pickup or use inside my Shiftpod tent. Also I went with the Propex HS2800 for more heating inside the tent. Headed out to try everything out on April 15. Testing out in the house, this heater performed flawlessly.
Carlos: Thanks for this video. I was thinking of a smaller box but perhaps not now after seeing this. I decommissioned the same unit from a Tacoma install and now using a minivan am thinking of a box install. I’m wondering if you notice any excess heat inside the box when running it and do you close it completely when you do? I’m in the thinking stage and have a couple ideas for interior/exterior mount and use.
For the wiring to the cigarette lighter plug, did you connect the negative dc of the plug to the neutral dc (white wire) of the propex? I’m not familiar with what is needed here. Never seen only a red positive and a white neutral. Any advice you could share on this would be great. I’m obviously not an electrician. 😂
Do those air hoses give off any plastic smell when operating?
Nicely done 👌
What mount do you use to attach the thermostat to? My heater just arrived and I’m not sure what backplate to get to protect the circuitry on the back of the thermostat?
Which regulator did you use to connect to the propane tank? And is there something between the hose you listed and the regulator or is the hose a direct connect to that regulator?
Karl, Like the video, I followed the link from my Expedition Portal post. How long does the portable power pack last, and any idea of how much propane you are using? Thanks Jeff Keep up the great work
Thanks for doing this great video. Are you adapting this for a truck camper?
Are you selling these? It looks like that other company may have went out of business.
