Ski RV's, who's sleeping in parking lots?

[singlecross]

I installed a Chinese diesel heater in my boat last month and it works well. I'm thinking of buying another and building my own portable version in a toolbox like this guy. Could be strapped to the roof rack and fed through a window with an adapter panel. Food for thought...

The combo of a roof tent and a diesel heater is ridiculous.

Reminds me of a car I saw yesterday, note the 'It's flat' re-lettering on the car. I have no idea what is on top.

I don’t disagree on the rooftop tent silliness, but ducting the heater into a truck topper, SUV, or van seems pretty reasonable.

I use a Kovea Cupid for exactly what you are describing. I've used it for 2 hours at a time without dying. I never could find out what the CO output is on these (if any?).

It puts out just the right amount of heat for me at the lowest setting. A Butane canister lasts about 5 hours on low.

You’d think that would fit inside a van.

He's a flat earther. Problem solving is not his forte.

Thanks for the ideas. This one looks good. Maybe just get one of those and a co monitor.

The diesel drum mod is a no brainer.

I don’t have any experience with these but this one looks pretty cool for a portable unit

Those diesel heaters don't cycle well though, so you want the lowest BTU rating ones available or you will turn your whatever into a sauna. 8Kw is the equivalent of an 8,000 watt space heater, which is about the same power a steam room generator has for a 250 cubic foot enclosed space. So that should give you an idea of what is likely to happen in the back of a van or small camper. Some of them that are sold as 8KW units are actually much less though.

I looked into them but the thermal controls are atrocious. The Espar ones are more expensive for a reason, and that is that they can cycle on and off with a reasonable range of temperature.

Of course for right around $150 you have little to lose as an experiment.

Sweet. Would be nice to have a big older diesel truck for this application.
