In floor heat is the best type of heat to have. If it’s in a van or house nothing beats it. Installed them in homes, the heat just flows from your feet to your head.

I totally agree. I’m so excited to see how it feels on my feet next winter!
Radiant heat is fantastic but boiler can be a nightmare long term. I definitely suggest a backup heat source!!

Thanks for the heads up. Have you messed with these in a vehicle or are you speaking from residential perspective?

@@thebatlwgn I'm in HVAC for homes so I've never done anything with a heating system in a vehicle or van. It is an awesome way to heat a space! I just worry about boiler components breaking.
Oh lawd. Yes that would've terrified me as well. Much worse than just cutting some holes in my new carpet. I see what you mean. Oh my.

Yea? How does this compare to what you would have expected? The problems in a van are definitely different than a home but I’d bet there’s some crossover!

Can you tie this into the engine coolant for heating as well?

In theory, thats possible. In practice, this particular system is not designed for that. I also think using the engine for heating is a half assed solution. Having the system independent of the engine is a superior solution and has so much less risk to damaging the engine.
How much weight is added by the floor heating and is the heater system not vulnerable out there if you ever go out on rocky dirt with it
@thebatlwgn

It’s roughly 150lbs total and it’s as vulnerable as everything else under the van. We shall see I guess! Haha
If there ever is a leak, how easy is it to get to the lines in the floor?
@thebatlwgn

In theory, there won’t be a leak. It’s not going to be super easy to get into that flooring. We pressure tested the lines overnight and they were good to go but that didnt make it into the video.

@@thebatlwgn In theory, famous last words... 😁 But seriously, yes, eventually that line will degrade and fail, it just depends on how many cycles it is put through and the pressure it is subjected to. The smarter route would be to use a more jacketed tubing, like is used in residental installations. With only one layer from failure, you're sorta asking for trouble.

Was surprised that they left the channels open below the subfloor. No insulation material in those channels at all. Every R counts in a van build.
