- Our Skoolie gets some heat! I installed the diesel heater that we have had for over a year now. I was so detailed in my filming that the original video was over 3 hours! No one wants to hear me drone on for over 3 hours. So, I split it into 3 and heavily edited it.
I hope this video gives some good information and helps with your heater install. Please leave any questions in the comments and I'll try to answer them.
We hope you enjoy this video and find it useful. Give it a like and subscribe to our channel. It would really mean a lot to us. Hit that little bell icon as well so you don't miss any future videos we put out.

Not fair. I want a shout out.
Pretty neat when you get a shout from a local celebrity.
I was volunteering this weekend with my sister at the Mustard Seed.
Thanksgiving is about helping others that are less fortunate. That's how we look at it. We do what we can to pay it forward.
Didn't see any busses that looked like yours this time though.
A noble thing to do. Was there a bus like ours there before?
I still have been thinking about the sailbus idea. I think you should give that a second chance.
LOL. That one was hilarious.
I've seen several people get around the accidentally-running-out-of-fuel by leaving the heater's pickup tube in the main tank several inches above the bottom so it can't run you dry. But in my rig I'm doing the same as you, adding a seperate dedicated fuel tank for the heaters. Added benefit to yours and my method is you can use dyed/off-road diesel for the heaters and save a few bucks on the fuel tax.
Using dyed would be a great idea. I might have to do that. I have access to purchase dyed for work. I could pick some up for myself as well.
Most of the installs I have see that tie into the bus tank are putting a T in the main line. Putting a completely separate line would definitely solve that.
That looks like a lot of hassle for having a separate tank. I definitely wouldn’t want to be fooling around with that out in the cold.
I've seen a couple videos where people did that. I always wondered how they avoided pulling fuel back from the engine and losing their prime. Most of the videos I've seen they just drop a new pickup tube direct into the main fuel tank which usually involves drilling the tank or drilling a knock-out plug. A lot of the truck stops I go to for diesel has reefer (dyed) fuel available right at the pump, so after you buy clear diesel for the engine tank you hit "next" on the pump and then fill the aux/heater tank. Super convenient. I have a small siphon pump I keep in my toolkit in case I ever need to re-prime the fuel filter canister when changing out a filter so in a pinch can always steal some clear diesel from the main tank for my heaters on a cold night.
@@thetslabussounds like a great set up!
@@robertjude8261There is a ton of room under the bus and it fills quickly. But, it is only a temporary setup until I get the underbody storage box and the actual fuel tank I want to use. A marine fuel tank with a quick connect.
Hi friend and thanks for the shoutout!
I really like the channel. The last few videos were a little bit dry though. Not your fault just the subject matter.
Have you ever considered using a propane fireplace for heat? They are so nice and a great ambiance.
Leaves are starting to change here in Vancouver. Winter is on it's way. Keep up the content this winter- NO EXCUSES
We thought about propane but I hated it in all the RVs I've had over the years. I found that when it got really cold they didn't work as well. The diesel heater in our camper works great.
Leaves are changing here as well. With the bus at our house, we should be able to continue to work on it through the winter. Just turn up the heat and go!
