Propex HS2800 Heater Fail and Repair

- Recently, I had an issue with my Propex HS2800 Heater not working. I could hear the igniter trying to light the propane, but it would fail. This video shows how I went about repairing the Propex HS2800 Heater. I don't know if this would work on other Propex Heaters, like the HS2000, but the instructions I followed were for the Propex HS2211. The instructions clearly say they are not for the Propex HS2800 or HS2000.
Here is a link to the instructions I found on Vancafe's website

Nice work, Jason! It's really interesting to see the internals of these units. Glad its up and running again.
Just went through the same process in my HS2000. Seems like that gas inlet got clogged up but the air compressor cleared it. Working perfectly now it seems 👍
Very interesting to see the intervals. I have one of those in my camper but I think it’s a newer model and I’ve been curious how it works inside
After having done this repair I'm sure you qualify as a certified technician lol great job and thanks for the help and this video as always keep up the good work
This is very appropriate for me. I just bought that exact model in hopes of using it in the Shiftpod for winter camping.
Hi Jason as one of the other comments mentioned using a furnace filter, i would add the suggestion to allow the return air to ONLY get to the heater by passing through the filter . This would minimize the amount of dust that can cause trouble for your heater. If you can do this setup, i would try it. Have a nice day. Tom up in Canada in the Maritimes at the NB-NS border
We were talking about propane heaters and problems with the buddy heaters at winter camp, and I said I had never experienced an internal clog on mine. Guess what? I now have just that problem on my shop heater, in spite of always using a filter and the Mr, Buddy propane hose. Looks like I get the joy of repairing it very soon. Yippee.
Well done..you are not an ordinary consumer..
Thanks Jason, been thinking about a propex heater for my van. They seem to be more reliable than most of the gasoline/diesel heaters that are more common. Maybe a comparison video between the propex and the vevor you have in the shop?
Good job, i tried and failed to repair a Jackery 60w solar panel, i failed due to a very poor factory soldering job that ripped the surface of the board off with the mostly unsoldered + wire, junk from the start , never saw 60w out of it under perfect conditions
I installed the same heater in my E250 over a year ago so great information thank you for this video Jason 😊
Van cafe is a great source for repairs, questions and buying one. They don’t make filters for either intakes so don’t run your furnace while traveling. They also recommend using about 10 psi to blow out the cabin intake air and a shop vac on the exhaust. I use a furnace filter cut to shape for the cabin cabinet intake, amazing how much dust you can kick up in a small space! Also they recommend running your furnace once or twice a month through out the year.
Great video. Detailed and thorough. Thanks for posting
Used to have the Propex on my trailer and getting it to start after storage was a pain...noisy at night too if you leave it on it woke me up every time. Got rid of the trailer so no more Propex...Love the Dickinson Newport in my Kimbo...nice and quiet and no igniter to fail...no lights on it either so therefor no error lights to clear lol...
It is much quieter if you use acoustic ducting. I noticed about an 8 decibel reduction in noise.
Good work repairing your heater.
thanks great info
Good future knowledge, definitely a bit of a job.
Did you ever do the trans swap? Wonder what one you went with?
I'm looking for a weather station for my van, where did you find yours?.
My heating guy always uses emery cloth on the igniters/electrodes. Very lightly to clean any corrosion…
Jason, a very educational and informative video.
I sent you P.M. via your email. Cheers, Mate.
Jason, do you have a relative named Jeff, that was a Montana Game Warden?
My original propex install failed due to a low flow rate single stage propane regulator. Same symptoms you describe. Switched to a high flow two stage regulator:
Marshall Excelsior (MEGR-298) Excela-Flo Two-Stage Compact Regulator
All was fine after a high flow regulator was in place.
Dang bro!!!! Growing the hair out…. Winter coat…
I had basically the same problem and it turned out that the heater exhaust pipe was clogged with mud.
Not your average consumer!
11 psi regulater uh huh
You have your home furnace serviced ever year why not your van heater? Oh. excuse me, who services their home furnace every year? Well I do!
