Good plan ,I did actually keep an eye on mine unlike some comments suggested but it happened fast , the pipe looked perfect a couple months ago , they are handy af but I may go shopping for something a little better quality for piece of mind 😉 ..cheers !
I conduct maintenance on my RV water heater, heater, fridge, electrical system, solar, etc, etc at least once a month even if it's nothing but a check of the components and to ensure the system is operating at it's best. In the military we call this PMCS, Preventive Maintenance checks and services. It ensure the maximum life of any type of equipment and will usually catch issue before it becomes a problem.
You don't want anything attached to the tires or any part of the suspension system. Plus installing a diesel heater outside could lead to the fuel gelling due to very low temperatures. One thing you can do is to make a sealed box that you can duct the incoming air and out going heated air through sealed holes in the box. Plus a small vent could be put through the wall of the van that would allow any accidental fumes to escape harmlessly outside.
Come on, its a diesel heater, do the due diligence, maintain it. You mean you have not looked under your van in over 4 years. Get a good flashlight and inspect under it every 2 months, you just might spot a potential problem and be able to fix it before you are broke down.
So basically what you're saying is you're complete lack of maintenance caused something to fail and now it's the products fault? Anybody using these diesel heaters should know those pipes don't last but maybe a year at best especially under a vehicle and especially right behind the tire that's really a piss poor place to have that and I can only assume that the pipe was not running downward like the instructions specifically tell you to do. And no you're not going to die I'm not going to die and nobody else is going to die from CO2 from diesel fumes anybody with the slightest bit of Common Sense knows diesel does not produce enough CO2 to kill you it'll give you a headache and burn your eyes you will not die that's a scientific fact look it up before you start spreading fear into the public just because you did something totally asinine. As pathetic as that exhaust looks I can only assume that the silicone gasket is completely shot as well that's probably where you're getting your fumes another case of lack of maintenance
The most common symptoms of CO poisoning are headache, dizziness, weakness, upset stomach, vomiting, chest pain, and confusion. CO symptoms are often described as “flu-like.” If you breathe in a lot of CO, it can make you pass out or kill you www.cdc.gov/carbon-monoxide/about/index.html#:~:text=The%20most%20common%20symptoms%20of,pass%20out%20or%20kill%20you.
Those things slapped together faster than you could imagine. I think i should open mine up and make sure it's all good

Get yourself that carbon monoxide detector brother.... cheers 🍻 n play safe
Good reminder, sometimes we forget the small things that can cause catostrophic consequences.
Just mount the heater outside. Route your hot air inside somehow. There are nice metal mounting brackets that hang from one of the tires.

Thanks for this, will make sure to get a co2 censor
I think what you would want is a carbon monoxide detector, CO
je change le mien chaque année

Carbon monoxide is CO not CO2, CO2 is carbon DIOXIDE not MONOXIDE
Thanks for your opinion and advice, if I can help you in any way in return 👍
And yet you call carbon monoxie carbon di oxide.
