Today we install our 12v 5kw Chinese Diesel Air Heater into our Van Build. We take you through the whole process including unboxing and fitting but we do not do the wiring stage yet as we will film that tomorrow with the electrics video.
These diesel heaters are very popular in the van build community now. Our diesel heater is by the brand Vevor and is sold on Amazon but all of the Amazon, Ebay & AliExpress ones are all more or less the same. They are all a copy of the ‘real’ version from brands such as Webasto & Eberspacher.
There are many variations to the install process such as bolting the heater straight to the metal floor of the van rather than on top of the finished floor. The debate about whether the fuel pump should be outside or inside the van. Using the supplied fuel tank or connecting to the vans main tank. The list goes on.
Watching this video along with some others will hopefully give you a good idea as to how you would like to install your own chinese diesel heater into your van conversion or caravan. This is not the only way to do it.
Another daily vlog about our campervan build as we try to convert this van into a tiny home on wheels in less than 30 days.
