I have only posted one but I have multiple left to edit. Can't wait to see some new content from you with your new ride. Much love

    As someone whose been dreaming of buying a Jeep, you were one of the channels I would often go to over the years for build information. Fast forward 10 years, still no Jeep; but I did finally subscribe because this truck is totally more my speed. Interested to see the new world of Toyota off road:) cheers

  • @TheWeissenheimer
    @TheWeissenheimer Год назад +9

    Just so you know, the FWC propane heater setup does NOT introduce moisture to the interior. The combustion cycle is totally separate from the heat it pumps into the camper. Same as the diesel heater. However I do think you benefit from diesel heat because you can easily go to any gas station any time of night to refill. And you don’t need someone to assist you like with propane

Thank you.

    I just checked on the channel a few days ago. I was so happy that today RUclips fed your new VDO and happier to see your new vehicle which has much more upgrade than the old Jeep. I have never experienced how cold like when you camped in the snow because I am Thai where I live is always hot, I believe it must be super cold, so having the new upgraded vehicle is good for you.

    yeeeaa our boy got an upgrade!
    seriously tho, when people do projects on youtube and share it without trying it or doesn't talk about the negatives just to come out few months later making a video about fixing problems that basically made the thing useless. it makes you feel like you been lied to. but you tried it out and saw how it worked out before making a video.
    respects man. great work. keep it up.

    Point of correction: A Mr Buddy Heater is not directly vented. The Propane Heater that came with your camper was vented. They both burn propane but the vented version does not cause condensation. The diesel heater you installed and the vented propane heater will produce the same low level condensation. It has nothing to do with the type of fuel but the direct vented exhaust makes the difference.
