Productive final tasks day: Cleaned up the garage Finalized and permanently mounted the heater exhaust pipe Test fit the intake duct Buttoned up the connections Zip tied the remaining wiring up out of the way Siliconed the back of the thermostat Added furniture felt to the back of the...

Decided to purchase the Tocsin 4 personal carbon monoxide detector from Sportys. I'll share more once we get it here.

Yessir. They alert at a much lower PPM. In a home you can have a much higher parts per million based on volume of space. In a confined space like a tent, it needs to alert much faster as the progression of fresh air could expire quickly.

The roof top tent has a couple existing passthrus in the floor by design. We run USB up there today for phones. I'll probably keep the thermostat through the window for now. The wife and I discussed a portable carbon monoxide detector that people use in bush planes. Just feels like a safety...

And a quality carbon monoxide detector. Anyone have one they recommend?

I do expect to. Thank you!

The first test is in the books! The proof of concept is complete. Next step is to tidy everything up and field test ? (just need to convince the wife - yes, you. I know you're reading this ?) I mounted the intake combustion pipe in a permanent fashion: I made a quick back panel for the...

I think it would work with about anything, but hopefully there's an expert reading in on water column measurements ? I will run the copper until I get a better solution. It'll work and I tested it for leaks, so I'll run it.

My current plan is to not permanently mount the combustion pipes. Those and the ducts will be stored and then installed at camp. I'll use thumb screw clamps for the combustion pipes and the ducts are push fit, easily removed and stowed. We spend so much time at the tailgate that I want to try...

Don't be sorry, this is great information. Feel free to discuss. ?

I also carry a 20lb tank in the bed just in case. I definitely want a stainless hose. I'll have to special order the fittings since the Propex is BPT threads. I'll test it all first and then place orders. You're exactly right on the requirements. I assume most ppl ignore them. Thanks for your...

Yay! She's back on the road! ?

The heater is mounted! Using this piece of aluminum: Which gets completely concealed and protected by the traction boards: Test fit of one of the ducts that will run up to the tent: It fits with the awning with no issues: Test fit the combustion pipes: Not sure what to do with...

The Propex install continues! But not before getting the OVS 270 awning in place first to make sure everything will work together. ..and it does! We still need to open the awning and align everything, but we feel it's pretty close. The rear awning may or may not stay. They obviously won't work...

I got to Lowes today to pick up what I needed to proceed. I've already made the bracket after getting home, which isn't too exciting to see. I made it out of black coated aluminum diamond plate. Come to think of it, I need to test the fittings I got for the propane feed line. Hmm ? Back to the...

Here are some pics from tonight. New driver side setup: This allowed space to be created to vent the exhaust, bring in fresh air, and make room to send the tubes up to the tent. In this pic below, the yellow arrow shows where the combustion pipes will mount and be secured. The blue lines...

I'm so excited for it. Pretty much nerding out. Controlled, dry heat that's reliable. Everyone wants this, NOBODY wants to pay what this thing costs ?

With all that said, I determined the best place to mount the heater based on my configuration and needs. That's the good news. The bad news was, it meant completely changing all of the accessories and supplies mounted to the rack. Why did things need to move? - I didn't want to the heater...

The first step of installing this new heater is to read, research, and plan. This, and another fuel consuming device, requires your full attention in consideration of yours and others safety. Vancafe has a whole section dedicated to helping you plan and make the best decisions as part of your...
