I think most AC units this size will overload the Honda. I make sure all electrical items are off and generator is running with "eco" mode off when first turning the AC on. After the AC starts, I can turn the Honda "eco" mode on. I also crank the thermostat on the AC all the way up so the compressor doesn't cycle on/off while in "eco" mode.

That fuel tank is incorrectly seated in the casing.... Have you got something out of placed or trapped under the tank....every time I open up the case and play about I get the same problem, tank not located correctly, usually if you pull the fuel cap back or forth it lines up and pops up into position where it should be.... Thanks for the video, just what I was looking for. I think I'll try and sound deaden the pump with some sort of fire proof wrap at a much cheeper cost... Mines located next to my campervan bed so it's so annoying. Thanks

My small "caravan" does have a factory propane furnace. This diesel heater is only an option that is easy on fuel. I enjoy camping in the back of my truck in a small "Truck Shell Camper" set up more than anything but is limited to room for one.

Awesome ingenuity! What did you use to adhere the reflectix to the fiberglass (guessing that’s what’s under it?) I tried tons of adhesives and none stood the extreme cold and heat on my old shell. I finally got some combination that worked but then the truck died. Now, with a brand new Leer mid-rise with headliner that I specifically requested be glued to never release. Before even attaching anything it began sagging. The back hatch is completely unsafe and is very difficult to get to latch. It came with scratches that they (temporarily) shined with polish. No returns, no exceptions. Don’t trust Leer. But I digress. Great adhesive??
@geenote3 ай бұрын

Not worth $40. The pump that came with my unit did click a little. I've since mounted mine outside the unit (heating my basement) on the wall, hanging at a 45 degree angle and wrapped in a piece of insulation. I can't hear the pump standing right by the heater. It's perfectly quiet now. I actually had to feel it to see if it was pumping! So don't waste your money on new pump when it's so easy to quiet down the original pump.

As well maybe a small tv at the same time. Would this do both? Im disabled i got lupus and a heart issue so not a lot of cash for a big camper. And i really want to go off grid and camp me and my wife to try to enjoy life some. This is one of my main concerns is to stay cool or run a electric heater if need. What size is your honda again? And please any help on how to set up my power for my set up would help me out so very much. Its not going to be easy for me to get enough up to buy the power station and material i need to make my truck camper set up. But i want to do it right from the start even if i buy 1 thing at a time. I do not got many years left in my life and im only 41 but do want to try to enjoy some time with my wife while i still got time. We both love nature and fishing as well. But i got the most expensive thing done i found a very nice truck that had a nice shell on it already. God was good to let me found it. This truck is also my day to day driver but its rare i would need to hual anything so i will be ok. A few more questions any help on how to make a frame for my bed with maybe storage under it would be helpful. I plan on just useing a few electric skillets for cooking maybe a small propain grill for outside. Again sorry so many questions and sorry my writing is not so great no more the lupus has effected me in my life in many ways. Im just a guy that misses being healthy able to work make money and look forward to all the dreams i use to have. But im not letting that keep me down now my dream and gole is to make a nice truck camper that me and my wife can stay cool in or warm in and maybe at night or when its to hot out watch a movie inside. God laid this on my heart to try to do something like this. I want to so bad try to make a nice set up and do this this summer. As of now its so hard at home to live month to month so getting the power station i need and everything to do it will be very hard. I plan on finding a used small ac on marketplace to buy. But when it comes to a generator i really want one like yours a honda built to last a long time. Not that loud big or heavy. Im not supose to lift over 15 lbs because my anurism in my aorta but my wife can lift it. She has been by my side a long time Gods so good gave her to me. She was with me when i was still in good health and now thro the hard. Been with me a long time. The woman i was with before her was killed while in the Army that was very hard left me hurt sad and lost with are 2 year old son she left behind as well. But my wife now helped me thro everything and treats him as he is her own son. Hard to find a wife like that. I see so many ppl get sponsors and help with builds on things from cars to homes to little things like this. But i never ever been able to get any help of any kind with anything no matter how hard i try. I wish i could get help or sponsors with things i need like the generator and so on but that will never happen. Anyways thanks for the video thanks for the time to read all this sorry its so long.

Hey, Keith. It’s good to hear from someone who has had reliable service from one of these. A lot of folk use and abuse these things and then complain they aren’t reliable. Sure, some components are cheaply made and can fail but replacements are cheap and it’s a good idea to have a few spares on hand just in case but my installed version in my camper has been great - just one temp sensor gave out on me and it was a 5 minute job to switch a new one in. That said, like anything else, you can find yourself with a lemon, though. I have an all in one version to set up when I get a chance so I’m keen to see how that goes for me. I think I’ll do the modifications first, though. One thing to bear in mind is that when searching for these units, apparently there isn’t such a thing as an 8KW (there’s a video on here where a guy scientifically proves these sized units are physically incapable of producing 8KW) and they only come in 2KW or 5KW so don’t pay extra for an 8KW over a 5KW. I’d advise anyone to research this for themselves, though. The one in my camper is a 5KW as I felt it was the best one for the money at the time I bought it but I could have got by fine with a 2KW in that space, really. They do put out an amazing amount of heat for their size. If I ever get to build myself a little cabin somewhere, one of these will go in as a back up for a wood stove for sure. 👍🏻
@geenote5 ай бұрын
I have read the same thing about 8kw and 5kw being the same unit. I don't use this unit every day but I use it often during the cold season and so far so good. Propane heaters and this diesel heater are a good heat source if we loose power.

Hey, keith, I was just wondering if you were gonna put a video out and bam Here URL oglad to see the diesel heater still running. I'm still enjoying mine in the cold weather. Thanks for the video.
I'm sure you use yours more than me but so far so good. Good for home heat here lately. 14 degrees this morning but suppose to get close to 70 in a week - crazy weather! Thanks!
Thank you for Sharing…
Thanks for watching!
That metal trim on your door looks like drip edge for shower doors.?
LOL! It probably is!
Gizmo likes your heater and would like to come stay at your house for a while. Today, it's cold and windy where we are.
Come on Gizmo - Cold and windy here too but me and Zoey staying inside watchin NFL playoffs!
Hey, Keith. It’s good to hear from someone who has had reliable service from one of these. A lot of folk use and abuse these things and then complain they aren’t reliable. Sure, some components are cheaply made and can fail but replacements are cheap and it’s a good idea to have a few spares on hand just in case but my installed version in my camper has been great - just one temp sensor gave out on me and it was a 5 minute job to switch a new one in. That said, like anything else, you can find yourself with a lemon, though. I have an all in one version to set up when I get a chance so I’m keen to see how that goes for me. I think I’ll do the modifications first, though. One thing to bear in mind is that when searching for these units, apparently there isn’t such a thing as an 8KW (there’s a video on here where a guy scientifically proves these sized units are physically incapable of producing 8KW) and they only come in 2KW or 5KW so don’t pay extra for an 8KW over a 5KW. I’d advise anyone to research this for themselves, though. The one in my camper is a 5KW as I felt it was the best one for the money at the time I bought it but I could have got by fine with a 2KW in that space, really. They do put out an amazing amount of heat for their size. If I ever get to build myself a little cabin somewhere, one of these will go in as a back up for a wood stove for sure. 👍🏻
I have read the same thing about 8kw and 5kw being the same unit. I don't use this unit every day but I use it often during the cold season and so far so good. Propane heaters and this diesel heater are a good heat source if we loose power.
Cant trust anything from China...everything is cheaply made.
I have to admit my heater has done well after some modifications.
I use one in my pick-up. I just installed it, installed, and vented the exhaust outside
It should serve you well. Thanks.
Beautiful
I think so too. Thanks!
