Hello thank you for your feedback. The diesel heater we purchased was pretty well plug and play. The only real hard wiring was the positive and negative wire to the battery which is fused

Hello from the high desert of New Mexico USA 🇺🇸. Yes you can mount the heater on a wall , but you must mount it horizontal and with the glow plug facing upward, take the cover off and you will see the silicone cover for the glow plug. I hope this helps you. Stay safe

@@thevettes_ ..My unit came with 2 plates and I naturally assumed that it was to form a sandwich type affair with all the pipes etc running through BOTH of them. With sealant on both plates Inside & outside, there would be little chance of water damaging your floor, whereas now, there is not much chance of escaping damage as water will soak your exposed timber floor timber, regardless of the bit of paint you put on the cut surfaces. I was just going to fit a mesh type opening to the interior of the van for the intake at the opposite end of the heater, as all it is doing is recirculating the air already in the van, with the fresh air coming in from below.

Does the metal plate who comes with the kit become hot when the heater in working??...the exhaust will be ok but the plate just over it??Asking this because i want to install mine in the bed of my tacoma truck,the bed is made of fiberglass...i don't want to melt the bed lol!!I will wrap the exhaust but i know it will be hot anyways.

From the instructions i have seen the muffler should be mounted so the drain hole can drain condensate. Good video though.

We have found the air pressure has been strong enough to remove the condensation from the line, The exhaust line is on a slight angle downwards. Thanks for the review, we are glad you liked the video :)

Nice video. Kind of worrying that the floor of your van is made of wood! Not even a metal layer on the bottom of it? That's shoddy as hell

Pretty common on a lot of caravans. Also old cars back in the day had wooden floors exposed to the elements, they survived well enough, not shoddy at all, just common practice and it saves weight.

When you initially installed the heater all the wiring went down through the floor but when you showed us under the van the wiring was not there. What did you do with it? does it come out somewhere else? Cheers

Hello, the only section of wiring that went through the floor was for the fuel pump. The remainder of the wiring stayed inside the under bed compartment as it was all close to the batteries Cheers

the exhaust is mounted in the wrong position. It should be mounted with the moisture gap down.
