no condensation with the diesel heater. All exhaust gases expelled outside. Only dry heat pulled over heater by a fan and into your car, tent, space you are looking to heat. Go to Facebook and search Chinese Diesel Heater Forum. You will find several from all over. Most will have very clear...

Doubling up your goal zero with panels and alternator charging is a good idea, especially if you don’t already have panels. My Bluetti EB70 will expedite charging if I have both panels and the unit plugged into the trucks 12v system. I imagine the goal zero will do the same? The controller...

I just re built my all in one into a Apache case and have been running it in my garage for testing. It works pretty well. Outside temps have been as low as 21 F outside and the garage has been in the 57-63 F range. Soon as I sort out the permanent fuel tank solution, I will be field testing...

I did not hang them, I welded some angle brackets to the frame of my trailer and keep the jacks in the tongue box. I just seat them when setting up camp. This way they are safe AND I can use them on either the trailer OR the truck OR on someone else’s rig to change a tire or level their rig...

I purchased scissor jacks and mounted them to the 4 corners of the trailer. They are very easy and quick to deploy and serve multiple functions: levels the trailer, stabilized the trailer from excessive movement when I’m up in the tent or on the roof deck (my roof rack is extended to give me a...

For those watching this thread, the heater ROCKS! It has worked so well (with a slight learning curve) I decided I wanted tear it apart and put it in a more durable and transportable pelican style case. For my intended purposes, it made sense...in my mind. I have another thread that...

Ran it most of the day, yesterday, runs like the proverbial “raped ape”. Until I close the case for longer than 30 minutes while the heater is on high (P-5.4). Then the heat sensor (in the controller) gets too warm and shuts it down. After some consulting with peers on the CDH forum(s), I...

My truck is a 3/4 ton 4x4 Silverado. It’s heavy and I haul heavy with it. That said, I did put spacers that changed the lug pattern on an old Ford long bed trailer to an 8-lug Chevy pattern to match my truck. The slightly wider stance of the trailer looks better and makes me think it’s more...

The Camp Chef line is also very affordable and versatile, if you like propane. I have an Explorer 2 burner. I have a griddle for it. It can handle everything from Coffey to a Crab boil, cast iron pots to sauté pans. Super simple, very durable. Lots of accessories: griddled, grill tops, pizza...

Dr., the transplant was a complete success! Took my new Walmart Vevor All-In-One apart and moved it into one of the HF Apache 4800 cases. While doing so, upgraded the motherboard/controller/remote combo as well as the fuel line. Still using the original fuel tank, but I will be swapping it...

Fitst thing I bought when I got the diesel heater was a CO detector. First thing I did after that was watch all the YouTube’s I could find on them BEFORE firing it up/ even while waiting for delivery (taking into consideration the information sources). Your same concerns and well received...

So now that Christmas and New Years and Two of my Childrens’ birthdays are behind me (and my wallet), I finally got enough parts and pieces together to start the portable diesel heater build. I had been waiting on a commercial mounting bracket but due to its depth (making heater sit too tall in...

OB edition? Let’s see pics!

would you post some details and pics? I’m working on mine and would like to see some ideas? How has it performed?

Improvise, Adapt, Overcome! Nicely executed!

Really Nice Work!

Built my table and chuck box about 15 years ago when I was involved in mountain man rendezvous. Also something of a Coleman enthusiast, hence the somewhat customized three burner. Now that I’m getting into this new craze...that is overlanding, I will probably, at some point, start looking at...

Looks pretty functional, I will be watching to see how it performs for you. Does it exhaust outside the tent? I winter camped last year with my Buddy Heater, but between the condensation and my paranoia about CO, I only ran it to warm up the sleeping area just before going to bed and just...

I guess it would depend on what you want to do. Are you towing a trailer? Doing some rock crawling? Wanting to mount a spare tire or hitch-noun bike rack? The stock bumper with a tow hitch can do all of those things. If you have a winch-bumper on the front and want a matching rear with...

May the Spirit of Christmas bring you and yours joy and peace!
