I used a vevor diesel heater in my roof top tent on my overland Toyota Tacoma. This was a cold and snowy night so it was a perfect test for this heater to camp.

OK, now I must admit I am a bit jealous. All that is missing is a couple of good fishing poles.

I know! I need to start fishing. Would love to do a catch and cook one of these days.

I saw in another video where the Jackery used to shut down without ventilation. Waterproof information should be on the label.

Did you ever figure out if it's ok to leave out in the elements?

@wanderingheathen 7 ай бұрын

I wish there was an easier way to waterproof these from the elements. Im over here trying to figure out a pvc housing for it...and i see you just tossed a lid on it. Shoot, im gonna just try that first lol i have a tire step setup for my D H. So not much mobility.

The only thing that causes me concern in the possibility of CO rising and getting into you tent. It doesn't smell and can kill you. It happened to us in our home and we were lucky to survive. Good luck.

They make CO detectors you know right?

Awesome set up. I have that jackery and been thinking about getting a diesel heater as well. And i just moved to PA last year from Maryland and just got my rooftop and looking for cool spots that that to try out. Where about is that located or spots like that? I'd appreciate it.

Congrats on moving, that spot is in the Allegheny national forest

Thanks for sharing this cool experience with us. How was that clicking noise overnight? Wasn't that irritating? Also how about the smell of burnt diesel which comes off the exhaust?

@ModernDayViking Жыл бұрын

The clicking if you have the heater set between 1-3 is not noticeable up in the tent over the sound of the fan pushing the heat. The only time it really smells like anything is during start up and shut down. While it runs it seems to burn really clean and not smell

@SP70011 7 ай бұрын

I love mine , just had it for a week so far, the light clicking sound isn't even noticeable and the fan is quiet, the air is toasty and warm , ....

Yeah, that cheap Chinese heater will keep your ass warm af all night with little to no problems. This is what I run exclusively because it works and parts are easy to find should you need them. I wouldn't run any other setup. Put that mf in a cheap HF box and life is golden in the winter. Take care of it and don't trash it and it will fucking last. Most issues are absolutely user error; others are out of the box and it does happen from time to time. Never an issue with mine. It just fucking works.

My heater keeps overheating and it seems to be because of the length of the hot air supply duct. Have you had any issues with this? Yours appears plenty long.

@ModernDayViking 5 ай бұрын

No, I have never experienced any overheating errors with mine

@armedmindset6778 6 ай бұрын

I don't think they have any waterproof rating. Smart to keep it dry.

@darinb4794 10 ай бұрын

Maybe this is a dumb question. this requires diesel fuel and the jackery to run?

@ModernDayViking 10 ай бұрын

Yes it runs of diesel and require some form of 12-volt power to run

@davidschlarp1606 2 ай бұрын

Because the DC only has 10 amps and a Diesel heater needs about 15 to heat the glow plug. Idk how the hackery is working even it only has 10 amps too

@ModernDayViking 2 ай бұрын

The heater pulls 9.2amp max while starting.

i would just put a crazy carpet drapped over the box outside and it should keep enough of the weather away from it, if possible get controller extension cable and put it inside your tent.
