This guy is seriously smart and appears to have a solid solution for people that need this.

This is the biggest part of your new van. You will be able to sleep more comfortable, being warm. I can't wait to see how it all ends up.

Very smart choice for your heating system! Very reliable system. I'm a retired general contractor and building maintenance engineer.

Whoohoo! Congrats! Can wait to his how this system changes your van life experiences. No more failed heated blankets in 18F weather for you. Safe travels 😊

I’ve been waiting for part 2. Sounds like a stellar system!

I've been waiting for this video after watching part 1, thank you for this, very interesting. Looking forward for the final review.

Love the two-stage system, makes so much sense!

The beginning build process, Gotta love it!

Well now you can continue with the rest of the build and stay toastie as you work, what an awesome addition to your van build can't wait to see the rest of the design come together Tory. Thanks for Sharing

Woohoo! So happy for you Tory! Moving on up!

Great two stage system. Hw on demand. Living at -30 in a parking lot never looked so good. Have really enjoyed watching the product develop over the years. Need more installer's in BC? Let me know.

This is such a great system, thanks for sharing (and it was an amazing walk-through). For sure on the list for the future van build!

Coming in from the cold and sitting on the floor with coffee and a book while your butt warms up, bliss. Looks like both a superb and reliable system. Great choice.

Radiant heat is going to be so nice on a cold night 😃👍

A heated floor is very comfortable, but it is not clear whether it cools as well. The heat pump air conditioners that are fitted in the roof can cool and heat, using a third of the power that a heater uses. It runs on electricity. Natural gas is very cheap for heating.

Very informative. Thanks

What a great system. That will be so nice to have, Tory.

Magnificent specialist. I think it's time for us to talk about the pool that you will place on the roof of the van,..😀. I know perfectly well that you have thought about it. Tell the truth,... you haven't thought of something similar,.... ---- Wonderful video.👍

Great video Great channel great life 🧬 great build 😊 cool 🆒

Great video, as always! Love your casual, comfortable presentations 👍 Now, about the system... I was all about considering this upgrade, but, quite honestly, there is no way that a roll of PEX, all the fittings, etc., lumber, insulation and plumbing and electrical components warrant a $7,000+ price. The expertise of installing the system and the time to do so still doesn't account for that price. Sorry, but that's just not reasonable. Thanks for the video though! Very important info was included. See you in your next video! Be safe!

That’s really awesome but the problem I’m seeing is now you have all that stuff in your way and have to build the rest of your van around it. It seems kind of like a hassle lol.

This unit will be inside my bench seat so luckily not too much of a hassle to build around as I’ll just place the bench over it. It does mess up my plans for the placement of the wall for the garage area. But honestly we went over all the different places I could put it & this was the best option I had. However honestly I didn’t realize the unit was SO BIG! Not that it would change my mind on the system but it’s just taking up a lot of room I hadn’t planned around, And I will say I do wish I had put down the vinyl flooring first but… hindsight is always 20/20 😅

How does this compare to the Rixen Hydronic Floor system?

Will you be installing flooring directly on top of this layer? Seems like the metal tape is fragile and may make direct adhesion difficult.

@ToryDelury

4 ай бұрын

That is such a great point, I think they are far apart enough I won’t have a problem but we will definitely see when I get to that portion of the build, the tape has numerous purposes. It keeps dirt out of the cracks and away from the piping and it marks where the tubing is so that you never screw into it (there is a third reason that has to do with the actual heat but I can’t recall what it is right now). But basically the tape is super important but I definitely see your concern & I’m interested to see the results when I get there ☺️

If you were pushing cold water through Iranian floor with making a difference to the environment?

👍🏻

I was gonna say you should use that to have hot water for a shower build, until I saw him put the orange liquid in it....

I would’ve let him work on the installation and interviewed him after. I wouldn’t want him to mess up and forget something being distracted. But I guess he didn’t because he stopped every time she asked something. Guess that’s why some people don’t allow customers in the bay area. 😂

Tory, as always you strive to find the solution to what has created the worst experience for you Van-Life, with my sincere admiration for how you share your happy or sad moments with such a flair (knuckleheaded) banter. You are spot on with this heating solution. You know about the (Yeti Link Vehicle Integration Kit) the new YETI PRO 4000 it’s an updated LiFePO4 battery tech means it can last for over 10 years. Tory, please research using a (dedicated Alternator with a Second Battery) you might have a second battery most Vans have a backup. You will not need it for the motor, so disconnect it from the existing hook-up. The reason most direct battery hook-ups for the Vehicle Generator have so many issues is that manufacturers use Smart alternators essentially those that have their output voltage controlled externally via the Engine Control Unit (ECU). The smart alternator system allows the vehicle to control the output voltage from the alternator based on vehicle operating conditions to reduce electrical load and in turn mechanical load on the engine by the alternator, this renders it unsuccessful at charging a secondary battery system to a usable level.

What does this system cost

You can put some furry warm slippers on your feet and scrap the floor heating. If you have the cash to burn, cool. But it makes no sense to me.

@ToryDelury

4 ай бұрын

LOL, I understand the frustration with the price but also living in a van with a Webasto in Vermont winter I know the cold goes right through those slippers fast 😅 Maybe heated slippers that don’t pull too much power or my go to was to just avoid touching the floor at all costs 😂😂🫡

HEYYYYY 😄

It’s cool you have heating floor now. However, am I the only one concerned about all the fittings and the fact that it is somehow rigid which might cause an issue over time with vibration and even hitting bumps on the road. I’m just concerned, not criticizing.

Wow what a system...What does all that cost?

This doesnt make sense. Half a gallon of fuel is 20kwh of energy if 500wh goes to heating then it's a 5% efficiency system which is unspeakably dismal. A diesel air heater has a 90% efficiency. Like how will you heat up the van from 500wh of energy anyway? Your body radiates 60-70 watts at all times to begin with. It's as if you wanted to make the van toasty with a third of your bodyheat. Like how does this guy know how much heating will be needed in a day anyway? As if it didnt depend on a shittona factors... I think you are being scammed here big time...i mean i'm not saying it aint gonna work but this guy is speaking pure bollox that much is true...it just doesnt make any goddam sense...
