Honestly I would be afraid of the officers, smoke coming out from the chimney leaves no doubt about it being a campervan. In addition, it can be uncomfortable for your neighbours if there are more vanlifers. For these reasons, I prefer diesel heaters. But what were your reasons behind this decision?

@@laszlogolyan9650 Hey man, that's a good point. If you want to be stealth, a diesel heater is probably the better option. And you really can't have it on if you're in the city or very close to other campers. Recently, I was parking about 10m next to another dude with his camper and watching the smoke. Sometimes you could see a bit of smoke getting over there but because it was so cold, I didn't think he would have any kind of air intake and the smell wouldn't be able to get in his van. I've actually built in a diesel heater myself and maybe I could make a video talking about the differences. I think diesel heaters are great but they also produce some unwanted smell and most often you can hear them too. My main reason is the quality of heat coming from a wood burner and how cozy it makes staying in a van during the winter. And I have always liked making a fire outside, so having on inside is awesome in my opinion. Thanks for your input mate!

Always on my wish list

Thank youuu 😍😍😍

Thank you so much 😃😃

Thanks a lot man! 🙏🙏

thank you!

Hey Layla, thankyou so much! Awesome that you're enjoying my videos 😃

thankyou 😇

Thanks for your support mate! It's a Diesel and so far I didn't stumble accross any issues. Maybe it's not old enough yet. MTB and Snowboard sounds awesome! I don't think those emission classes will be a big issue, unless you want to live in a city where you have those zones. Hope all works out for you! Keep me updated 😃

Thanks a lot mate! Your skoolie looks super nice too though :) I secured it on the back of the passenger seat. I've got a full video about that too. In my previous van I had long threaded rods going through the bottom of the van, so that I could clamp it in place.

Thankyou so much! Sadly i can't remember the diameter of the flue or the whole.

thank you very much! Yes it's a metal roof. Not sure how plastic would hold up. I would definitely use insulated pipe and maybe have a bigger cutout in the roof so that the heat is not too close to the plastic. But even if its close, I would probably just melt instead of starting to burn. You could cut out a bigger section of the plastic roof and reinforce it with metal. Then the cutout in the metal could be the same as your chimney and would give it more stability. Hope it works out for you!

@@ARTVENTUREFILMS thanks so much for your reply, very useful advice. I’ve recently discovered that conservatories with plastic roofs can take a wood burner & flue, so we’re going to look (closely!) into that. You’re a star 🌟 thanks again!

I have a clamp and put a chimney thing on for when the stove is burning and a cap for driving. Works pretty good to be honest :)

Hey Tyrell! Thanks for reaching out. I learn along the way, sometimes friends show me how to do it and other times i was watching youtube videos. But in any case it's trial and error. I really enjoy this way of learning :)

@@ARTVENTUREFILMS thanks for the reply. it’s really helping me plan things out! have a great day :)

@@tyrelldwyer5368 no worries! have a great one yourself!

Thanks dude 😃😇

Not that i know of. Since it's an insulated pipe and the rubber was a few centimeters next to it, i don't think the rubber melted. And so far no leaks :)

@@ARTVENTUREFILMS hell yea. glad to hear it turned out so good

I live in Hamburg, so yeah you can get it. Just send them an email and ask for the shipping cost to your town :)

thanks !!

Hey sorry for the late reply. The van is medium sized, so it's not the long version and not the short version either. Can't tell you how long exactly.

@@ARTVENTUREFILMS Are there any tips about dangers of putting it too close to the gas tank?? ty!

What do you mean by breaking the roof seal? The silicone is elastic and i think it does very well with bumpy roads. I think it would rather cause leaks where the chimney connects to the wood burner. I've just been on a three month trip to Greece and went offroad a lot for nice parking spots. I think it held up very good so far :)

@@ARTVENTUREFILMS did you have any trouble in the area where the chimney is close to the metal roof? I mean does it overheat the metal roof, or something?

Спасибо :)

I hope that means thankyou

damn
