Very interested in it.

@Jasonoid 5 ай бұрын

I like how these units keep getting better and better. If they could come up with a lower wattage glow plug version it would be compatible on pretty much any power station.

@johnnysweekends 5 ай бұрын

It would be helpful if they could lower the start up draw just a little while the glow plug is on. Would love a small propane forced heater. Some thing small that uses less power than RV furnace but use on board tanks

@@johnnysweekends Hey there the 8kw unit I'm installing has cheezy on/off button and was a cerimoney trying to link remote that ONLY ajusts temp up/down, and powering on is problematic when temp set too low as temp won't ajust UNTILL powered up..... I can work around these issues BUT with the temp is set lower then ambient, the fan speed/heating lowers way down as it should works great however it stays running on low regardless of where the temp is set, and eventually get's TOO HOT!!! Will any of these controllers cycle the burner off when it gets too hot???,and back on again??? if I get an aftermarket one?thanks

@conniesquires3057 4 ай бұрын

the only thing i wish it had longer ac/dc cable. when using while camping, it limits the usage to plug to portable power station instead of dual battery set up in our vehicle. yes i can get the extension cable but not ideal. also not crazy about having the ac/dc box as its not water resistant so have to keep it covered when used outside of the tent

Yea I agree a longer cable would be nice also a thicker gauge for the run but most modify the vehicle with a higher DC out at a certain location

Yesss!! Get a Tupperware tub about the same size or slightly bigger but not a deep one. Shallow style .. Flip it up side down and cut the ends to fit the heater hose coming out and some holes on the other end for air going in. Also elevate it off the ground maybe a small little table or or 2x4s in case of heavy rains. The tub works great

@DruFishing 4 ай бұрын

What size was your heat tube? 75 mm? Also I believe you're supposed to to hold the circle down to prime the first time or after a full runout with out fuel in the line but could not get this function to work (enter the count down prime mode).

So would it be fair to say that starting the heater on the ac/dc power supply and then straight to DC when it settles down would be the general procedure to start it up ?

If you could switch the power source fast enough with out it noticing and shutting down then sure that would be ideal for power stations rated at only 10amp DC

@willschmidt7311 4 ай бұрын

Do you prefer this one or the maxspeedingrod?

@johnnysweekends 4 ай бұрын

They both have a couple advantages. This one is quicker to get to the engine and do stuff if needed. Verses the metal outside cover has screws that all need to come off. Plus a tall skinny profile you will need some add on foot pegs or it will blow over. Plus needs to be lifted anyway. The app is way better and talks better on the Hcalory so that’s actually nice. The other had connection issues but the remote did work. Over all the Hcalory is pretty nice just on the higher price side. I’ll be using it several days in about two weeks for a trip
