I have one of the cheap Vevor diesel heaters that is powered by a Ecoflow Delta 2. Never had an issue with it. Now I am in Texas so I dint use it on every trip but I have used it in near freezing temperatures in high altitudes and low and it works as expected. Nothign better than getting into your roof top tent it it be nice and toasty. A nice DRY heat is the best. I used to use a ground tent and use a Mr. Buddy. The flame was bright in the tent but it did keep the tent very warm but it would condensate. I get zero condensation in my roof top tent when using the Diesel heater.

You made it sound pretty complicated, I got a cheap Chinese diesel heater, works awesome

You don't need that background music. After a while that's all I could hear.

Nice video. Wondering what the run time would be on a tank.

[mattmccallum]

Where do you store it? And the supplemental fuel tank?

Hey man, sweet heater. Another also not cheap option is the Dickinson P9000. It is propane but what’s more important is that it’s double vented. So the heated air is never in contact with the gassy fire chamber. The gases are vented to outside. I have this in my camper pop up camper. I ran the chimney out the wall (manual approved). There aren’t any electronics aside from a computer -style fan which draws around 1/8 amps (125mA). In practice The only kicker, I’d say, is that there’s no temp control. So I end up cracking the windows then eventually opening them both wide open. Even when it’s like -15deg C outside. Thought I’d mention it as it’s propane but vented so not at all like the buddy heater.

Have you made any video about how you did your large screen for the barndoor/tailgate?

In my Tacoma camper I got a few heating setups. Level 1 heating is from my batters and other electrical equipment cooling heat prefect for summer nights, I just shut the outside venting and heat goes up. Leve 2 heating is from my ecoflow ac/heat pump wave2. good for cold nights down to freezing but not below freezing with warm days. It is temp controlled so it's not running all the time for the nights. Leve 3 heating is over power Dickerson propane fireplace, a very dry heat that has served me well in below freezing temps. it was -20F out side and that thing made it 80F inside while on low. But I am looking at a gas/propane temp control heater to replace that Dickerson as it way to overpower. Diesel stuff sound nice but that's an additional different fuel and the clean of those heaters can be a pain. It's not bad at all as they we super efficient but just an heads up when its below freezing Diesel can begin to gel up ( the last thing you need when you need to get warm) they sell anti-gelling additives for diesel fuel to help stay liquid at lower temps.

This entire hobby has turned into the convincing "buy once, cry once" excuse every time I make a purchase 😭😭

Hey Jon, another great video! I’m interested in one of these heaters. Can you tell me how you transport your diesel fuel? Just a standard can? Thanks!!

[bearlycamping]

Awesome video. What gauge is the power cable supplied? Just need to be the right gauge cig adapter and crimp. I'll use a 15 amp AC DC converter. Thanks!

[susans]

Like the mobility of the Planar Heater. Wondering if they also make ACs? Just wondering, wouldn’t a Buddy heater do the same thing that this heater does? 😊

[NARoutdoors]

Does the planar unit you have use a muffler or is it a straight pipe with wrap around it? 😊

[matthewlockhart]

I was anxiously awaiting for this video. I just watched an OvrLnd product video the other day and it looks like they offer a diesel heater port on the side of their truck campers. Was this not an option when you bought yours? Also, can you mention the titles a couple of the books you read? I enjoy reading/learning about fur trappers/mountain men of years past. Thanks!

Jon, Love you videos, I real need to get back into fishing…. I read a lot of the Chinese diesel heaters have carbon up issues. Have you had any problems with the Planar in the past year? Or do you have a way to keep this problem from happening? Thanks and keep those videos coming……. Jeff
