Does the traditional knob controller give you any indication of a fault code? Like flashing the illumination. Or could it be used in parallel with an lcd controller.
Any other ideas on tank location, the 2 installs look good, but I'd like to be away from the engine bay? What do you recon to putting a removable tank inside the centre of the spare wheel or mounting on the side wall. Venting the tank breather outside so it's all sealed to the cab. Install with long spare pipes, so can you fill it up outside at the back (hot exhaust). Could turn the wheel round for easier access. Maybe just two push fit fuel fittings (feed and vent), save trailing the thin hoses outside. Maybe a bit impractical, you'd have to slacken the spare wheel strap each time, but shouldn't have to lift it out of the well.
I seem to remember my dad having a metal fuel can that was round and fitted in a spare. Is your spare in the back ? If it is ideal i think Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
I'm putting the heater to good use this morning. It's the thickest frost so far and there the windscreen is iced up inside and out. Decided not cycle today, I wouldn't have got off my road unscaved.
Bloomin' Transit windscreens take a lot of de icing - wish I had the heated version. The camper was lovely and warm after 15 minutes, but the heat hardly touched the windscreen. I've set the timer to come on just before I finish work - so hopefully toasty warm for the journey home
I’ve been using mine in the bug. Fantastic. I’ve aimed one nozzle at my leather seat and hand brake lever. I nip out and turn it on then go back in for a cuppa. Drive to work with a big smug look on my face.
I bought this heater it arrived just after Christmas but i then went off to Lanzarote for two weeks so it sat in the box. Last weekend i assembled it and connected it to my work van battery to test it, but i couldn't get it started. After posting on the Fb group i was told my battery wasn't up to it as i had a single flashing light. So i bought a new battery but the same outcome one red flashing light (low power) I posted a video of me attempting to start it up and got someone asking have i checked the voltage? Sure enough they had sent me a 24V heater not only that but id ordered a 2Kw heater and this one was a 5kw... Doh I messaged the seller and was given a full refund and as itll cost to much to return he's told me to keep it. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
I've ordered one of these https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/292809433024 Once connected i can change the voltage from 24v to 12v Then heat my temporary garage for £13 I'll order a another one to fit in the bus Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
Apparently yes according to the guys on the forum. Ive got a back up plan tho just incase their talkin *****. 240v to 24v transformer Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
Cool. I tried using a 240v/12v transformer but the one I had was only 4 amp so it didn’t work and I got the low voltage indicator flashing. Went back to a battery and charger
Probably won’t be cheap then. I’m wondering about sticking the 5kw heater (that I use to heat the garage) into the bay and getting a 8kw for the garage. I know everyone says 5kw is too high for the bay but it would be plumbed in (so lose some heat in the pipes flowing in various directions) and only used on the move.
Something like this i believe. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/263824483495 I'll see how you get on with a 5kw in a bus mate. Trouble with me is i have an outside job so i roast when the heating is on low its a constant battle with the wife as even has heated seats n steering wheel in her car Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk
That may not be right, if you need 20A @12V that is 240W so on 24V you would only need 10A for the same power consumption, if I were you I'd check the web for the rateings
