Crazy to fit a diesel heater under a vehicle seat! Bear in mind the foam in the seat is probably the most inflammable material in the van, and if it catches fire, the smoke itself is highly noxious and can in itself kill. Best to move it to somewhere well away from things like seat foam.
those plastic ramps are known to fail. if you value your life get 10- 20 ton car jack stands or look up 2x 4 wood cribbing, it's used to hold heavy machinery, but i use the 20 ton stands myself, it's $100-150
Excellent videos, I'd echo a previous comment, they are over 2 soon, me and my wife went traveling in a camper many years ago, it's the source, keep up the good work🤣🤣
nice install but change the fuel pipe as soon as you can for the small nylon type.The pipe supplied with these kits deterioate quite quickly and swell causing fuelling issues.Thanks for another video
@@JodieandJoe I've not tried it but it looks like using brake pipe (cupro-nickel) for the pipe looks like a good idea with just an inch or so of rubber (silicon rubber?) pipe as joints.
we just held the gate for u at calder farm campsite...gona check out your channel this afternoon...i just said to my girlfriend am sure ive seem them 2 b4 i think their you tube celebrities👍😁
@@alanhat5252 Yes but exhausts can develop leaks, combustion chambers can leak, exhaust fumes could seep back into the interior through some other previously harmless vent nearby, etc. Wherever you have combustion it makes sense to have an alarm too.
@@jix177 the entire exhaust is outside, the joint to the casting is outside. If the casting leaks combustion products the plastic casing will catch fire. That leaves backflow from vents. How much CO is there & how likely do you think it is that there might be a significant backflow that is somehow separated from the smell of burnt Diesel? I really do think you're worrying overmuch.
Hi Jodie & Joe, I’m about to fit a 5kw diesel heater in my Fiat Ducato and like your solution. Before I start is there anything you would change or reconsider if you were to do it again? All advice welcome 🙏 looking forward to you next episode. Cheers 🍻
Nothing I would change regarding the heater. The location is perfect for us tucked away under the chair and the 5kw is enough to keep it at 18°C during the current -4°C. We've had no issues whatsoever
OMG guys please tell me where you got that TV bracket from? That is EXACTLY what I'm looking for to got in my transit! This my first video watching your channel 😏
@@JodieandJoe excellent thanks. Just bare in mind those chinese diesel heaters are OK but they are not sealed units so it's possible that damp can get in there. Take care guys x
Maybe you can it’s only matter poking exhaust and breather tbru letterbox I’m Just thinking of ways to hear the house this winter. Be a good video content tho lol
I don't think it's a worry. If the unit was going to get hot enough to light wood on fire its plastic case would be in a puddle on top protecting it. The exhaust is plenty far enough away because of the turret mounting.
Thanks for all the tips and advice! We wont go under the van when on leveling blocks again 😅
Jodie & Joe
The only thing wrong with your videos is that they're over too soon!....love your content - and the progress you're making 👍
Thank you so much 💗🥰
I laughed out loud when Joe reacted to lavender scent being added to the heater. hahahah Thanks. I needed that.

Just fitting mine in Betty ❤ great video guys xx
I’ve just received my heater today and can’t wait to get a van lol, yes I don’t have a van yet 😅😂
Thanks ❤️🙏🏻👍

100%!!
Brilliant again, love your stuff !
Thanks 🙏👍🏼
Fantastic video, very funny and so well put together, thank you both :)
Thank you so much ❤️
Howdy y’all :)
Great Lil video! Jodie's dead-on with the scents! Especially during the night after a few pints of beer, eh? :)
Aromatherapy/cover up
Excellent job guys, I need a joe for my build lol 😂
He costs a lot in McDonald's breakfasts!

Just stumbled upon your channel great content and love your banter planning a van build myself your making great progress
Thanks Malcolm, good luck with your build!

Thanks for the tip, we'll order a better fuel line
@@JodieandJoe There are fuel line kits on ebay complete with clips etc for about £8
I was about to say the same about the fuel line. The filter can often be poor quality also. Great vid!
Just an important matter. Isolate the fuel line as the heat from the exhaust will effect the plastic fuel line.
We'll do, we're going to order a better fuel line too

Great video guys 👍✌️
Thanks 👍🏼🙏
Should be nice and toasty in there this winter! And maybe you already have one, but a carbon monoxide alarm would be good to have as well.
We definitely have one! Safety first!
it exhausts outside.

"If the casting leaks combustion products the plastic casing will catch fire." , says the guy who thinks I'm worrying to much!
Hi, Luv the content, but may I ask for a little more detail, on connecting the pump to the diesel tank, as I'm hoping to do same, cheers Mr dave
What would you like to know? We'll try and help!
@@JodieandJoe not having done this before I don't even know what the questions are.
Perhaps a quick run-through, please?
I would not get under any vehicle without axle stands never relie on plastic chocks and a handbrake.
Very true
Leveling blocks are NOT axle stands .

It was from Amazon, I believe it's a deleyCON Universal TV & Monitor Ceiling Mount
@@JodieandJoe excellent thanks. Just bare in mind those chinese diesel heaters are OK but they are not sealed units so it's possible that damp can get in there. Take care guys x
Great vid, what diesel heater did you use please ?
Thank you, It was a maXpeedingrods 12V 5kw from amazon
@@JodieandJoe thank you! i will check it out!
First!!
Wonder if you fit a deisel heater in the house keep warm this winter
I was close to trying once!
Maybe you can it’s only matter poking exhaust and breather tbru letterbox I’m
Just thinking of ways to hear the house this winter. Be a good video content tho lol
The diesel heater should NEVER be mounted on a wooden base.
Thanks for the feedback
I don't think it's a worry. If the unit was going to get hot enough to light wood on fire its plastic case would be in a puddle on top protecting it. The exhaust is plenty far enough away because of the turret mounting.
hello are you the jody from the movie jar head ,
Definitely
(No)
🤣
Another brilliant video guys 👍👍❤️ @bettyourcampervan xx
Thanks flaps for your continued support ❤️
