Thanks Rob looking to do this myself soon. Like the idea of having a heater that can be switched on to defrost the van and have it toasty warm in the morning.

wicked :) glad it helped you decide on getting one,,, seen a few different places people fit them too, behind the drivers seat or by it or even under :) I have speakers in the way round there so went for tucking it well outta harms way :)

I was thinking Jesus that's no good with all that smoke but then it settled down, looks good Rob, personally i would of put the pump on the wheel well its self or even outside under that space as that pump will be heard clicking in side on that inner wall

Yeah I was ready of for the first smokey start after seeing a few vids with the same, run it a few times now and starts up smokeless, just the first time burning off anything inc the extra fuel I primed thru it, Yes the pump was going to go underneath but in the end I kept inside so it would hopefully last longer without the weathering etc but easy to move if it is to noisy inside :)

Really like the string trick, nice one 👍🏻🇬🇧

Top job mate very impressive and I can hardly believe I never skimmed the vid as it’s 30mins 😉 my fuel pump is a noisy fker as Iv got the all in one built in unit tho I do have some problems with mine as my electric cable is undersized for the distance to the battery as I’ll only get about 11v at the heater and unless the battery is fully charged I’ll just get smoke 💨 lol I really must sort that out before winter. Great vid m8

My only VW was a 1974 bus with an 1800 cc air cooled engine. I loved it, but it was not too practical in a Canadian winter. It was equipped with an auxiliary petrol fueled heater, but all it did was bugger up the fuel economy and warm the one lucky passenger who happened to be sitting in front of it.

Hi Rob, Great video and help. I have a t4 too and was wondering if this is a 2kw or 5kw heater before I buy! Thanks!

@RobRandom

5Kw mate,, It does make it very warm, but i have a roof pop up vent and generally use a driveaway awning so it will keep everything toasty, but thats just my setup,, lots advise to go for 2kw which would probably be more then enough unless you have a drafty old shed like mine :D

The wiring loom just connects all the bits, like the pump and control box to the main unit and then I just extended the Red live and Black neutral to reach my leisure battery, the connectors will only fit into the correct parts so you can't do it wrong, hope this helps
