That battery is huge, do you need to live in your house now 😅 you've got everything there. Loving the bit you've built for boxing in the diesel heater, that will give you more space. Glad you're back making videos.

You've done really well with that van mate. You should look into building vans as a side hustle.

One problem that nobody talks about is how many amps these heaters in lithium batteries use on a cold frosty morning when the solar panels are producing very little energy the bigger, the battery, the bigger the heater, the more amps is needed to heat the battery 100 amp lithium, battery heater, usually drawers, 8 A. Most people have 200A batteries that means they need 16 A on a cold frosty morning when the solar panels struggling to produce 5 A so I think it’s important that people realise they need the DC to DC charger and run that in the morning to warm the battery up so that if any power is coming from the solar, it will go in the battery and not just be wasted in the heater that doesn’t heat up because it’s not getting enough amps. I have a 560 amp battery. It needs a lot of Amps to heat the battery. also solar charges need to be connected to the battery to know what voltage the battery is. 12 V or 24 et when it switches to the heater. The solar charger doesn’t know what voltage the battery is. Nice job van looks great Dave.☃️

Hey thanks so much for the comment. Yeah I don't think this heating pad takes that amount of current, although I will double check though.

Always got an upgrade or 2 havnt you mate 😂 quick question seen as your the man to ask. Do you leave the diesel heater on all night? I personally think that's a perc of them but Han always thinks it will over heat 🤔 good to see your van looking healthy again. Catch ya next time.

Hiya mate, Oh yes, love an upgrade 🤣🤣 yes I leave diesel heater on all night. I set it to 23 degrees and the diesel heater will continue to maintain that temp all night. The diesel heater does need some sort of fresh air to it, whether that be cracking the windows open slightly or a window slightly. Dave 🤙
