Some great ideas. The blankets are probably the best but I would have at least a 2000wh batteryfor those. Here in the midwest, if we had your weather we wouldn't bother with any heat. From December into late February, single digits to sub zero are routine here. Those heating options would not work unless in the most confined spaces. You would find the small 6,000W Mr. Heater would be absolutely needed when into the single digits or lower, otherwise you would be near dangerous levels of exposure, like hypothermia if exposed more than 24 hours. The problem with the 6,000W heater is that it is too much for a very confined space even when at extreme lowes of 10 to -10. It is hard to find a solution than has the temperature adjustment and is safe to operate 24x7. I like that you have the carbon monoxide detector. I use two in case one fails. Everything man made eventually fails! Again some good ideas and options.

Spend 87 dollars on diesel heater cheaper in long run I get 2 nights one gallon

Excellent info ,.

Nice review Scott and you have discovered what most of us have discovered already and that is that it does work and it works well but I opted for the cheaper one so I have to heat my own water but it is way faster! I stand on a piece of artificial turf that can be cut to size and folds up relatively small. It drains away fast and dries quickly you might give that a try. I double it up so that the mud doesn't squish up as you stand on it. Nice job!

Thanks for sharing

How does the van do on forest roads with the low clearance? Any lift on the van being considered? Does it feel underpowered going up mountains?

Why not go with solar panels for an electric blanket and say a 1000 watt Generator, enough power for almost everything.

thank you. very useful brotha!

So, so many times van builds get overly complicated through over-thinking. The van-heater realization you had is a classic example. I use a heating pad (like for a tummy ache) that I plug in and keep under the blankets all night. Works great. Nice video!

The problem with butane is it sucks the oxygen so you’re supposed to have doors or windows open when you use it.

Great content! Quick question for you Scott. How far is OHV from Sisters? I only ask because I will be up there starting in June for work. But if there’s places like this to ride around Sisters. Then I’m definitely taking my bike!👌

Couldn’t u use a bifuel hose and power up the litttle butane heater with propane?

Hello, great video!! You inspired me to do it by myself, i was a little nervous to do it but after you said that you did holes to your new van, I think i can do it to my used van😅 Can you please share what material you use, type and size of trim,and also what primer,thanks. Again, great video!!.

The Mr. Buddy heater is TERRIBLE! It gets far too hot. Most importantly, these heaters usually stop working in a month or two, a total waste of money.

You’re showing people a radiant heater 3“ x 3“ what’s that gonna heat up a shoebox what a joke pal

Why don’t you break down and buy a real diesel heater it’s $150 instead of that garbage that you’re using

Why don’t you run some more propane inside your little van genius one day you’re not gonna wake up

Why not use wax and containers and put the containers on your motor so when your motor gets warm the wax melts, and then when you come in for the night you take these containers off your motor ride your motor department. Bring him in your cabin and take hours and hours and hours for them. To cool off and go solid no one seems to want to do something like

One of the things I considered for my van when I get it is heated floor tiles. Between this and a ceramic heater, my van ought to get plenty warm inside. Also, I will have solar, a secondary alternator and 12 KW of energy storage in portable power stations.

where did you get that seat swivel and do you have an install video?

Wabasha and Edpar still makes a gasoline parking heater. You😊 don't need a Chinese oil heater, Butane canisters are cheaper from Oriental stores!but they don't work below freezing.

Propane = flame = oxygen use = RED FLAG in a HOUSE let alone a space like a small van. Electric unit (set on SUPER LOW heat) powered from a long cord or secondary battery prolly better all around. (Shop around; they're out there) Sleeping bag liners are a cheap and easily stored alternative. The 12V blanket sounds like another, but I don't know about the battery drain... Milwaukee Brand tools offers a (self contained) battery powered jacket. Many motorcycle accessory suppliers offer the same (Gerbings is one of the best there. Sorta pricy; Worth it!) Spent lots of time in a tent freezing various things off. Now in a Chevy Uplander SUV converted to a sleeper. Keeping warm has never been a problem. Keeping cool is literally another story. My $.02

I just finally broke and bought a diesel heater. So far I love it!

Has anyone ever tried a 75 watt or 150 watt 120 volt ceramic heating bulb, usually for pets? I bought one just to see. I can maybe put my pup tent in the back of van and see if I can just warm up the pup tent with a good placement

VERY HELPFUL !! I've been sleeping my cargovan, Ford,windstar, since 6 years with my dog and my cat in Bacliff (SE of Houston TX ) in front of my driveway after I lost my house in a fire. If I only knew all this stuff at the very beginning of this adventure. Then again... all in their good time. Now, a former neighbor who is n 23:37 ow homeless she has an SUV , , and I try to help her with the help of what I learn from your presentation. In addition to it, I will insolate her car interior 1" thik: walls, windows,floors plus I 23:37 will build for her a bed ,kitchenette, mini shower, powerstation "mini garage "shelfs, and cabinets, like yours,etc... Greate ideas. Thank you !

This is what we do to warm camper ruclips.net/video/9CUPelCkuDs/видео.htmlsi=ZsmWz65CN7c-Cymi Then we keep it warm with a little 400w electric ceramic with a thermostat through our Bluetti AC200Max and B300 extra battery it keeps our super insulated pickup camper warm for 3 days when it's in the 20s F, outside. Same the 5000 BTU AC keeps it cool about 3 days on full batteries.

love my heated blanket

Can the Covea Gas Heater be used with all the windows and doors closed? If not, how are you using it?

Butane canisters are expensive AND you cant refill them yourself as you can propane. Go buddy heater PROVEN safe and cost effective

YOu forgot one.. the most safest , an oil filled radiator type heater, 500 watt with bult in thermostat., Works great in house.

That stove top heater looks good, will order one. We are off to the Alps soon and will look for campsites, in which case have a tiny 500w heater. Years ago had a 1-2kW fan heater and even on low it was way too hot. Yours is the best review I have seen on this subject, thanks.

Good info. Thankyou.

Sunny and 70° seems a long ways from the 14° and freezing rain I'm getting while watching this great Summertime video! Oh yeah, please edit the music volume much much lower......the volume button is just waaaay too close to the skip button. Yer not sposta make us push buttons just to enjoy the watch, yaknow!

Buddy heater with a 20lb propane is the cheapest way to go and it's refillable. Con it takes up alot of space feels unsafe and like you said warms up very fast

A huge benefit of the buddy heaters is they also work off any large propane tank (you need to use their adapter hose) and can heat all night if necessary.

After seeing your heat can - I got to thinking about those candle flower pot videos - and I tried this out: - I have a large terra cotta flower pot which fits upside down on my Colman butane stove - it works like your heat can and gives off heat for ages after you turn the flame off! Thanks for the inspiration!

What would suggest for a Cargo Van with high roof? I don't want to use diesel heater and I need a heater for me to sleep all night white I'm on the road.

Hiw long does that jackery last with the heared blanket?

Getting ready to build panels for my sprinter with factory headliner. Did you tuck the panels under the headliner or flush with the edge of the headliner?

how many hours do u get w the cadet heater and I don't see a link for it?? can you please help thanks

A lot of heaters are too powerful for a van. So you need to look for low power. I have a 200W electric heater, for example.

Heat up water and pour it in a two litter bottle and throw it under your blanket

Can u still use can on electric burner, iam thinking the tabs will still fit between electric burners.❤❤❤😊😊😊

Seems to me that water is the best absorber of heat known...why not just boil a big pot of water on the stove and then let it sit...it will re-radiate that heat back out eventually. It would be cool if you could use a fire outside a van to heat a big vessel of water that could be brought into the van.

Informative thank you😮

Can you post a link to your portable Broan electric heater?

You refer to the Kovea heater as a Cadet and a Cupid. Is it both?

5 ways to not use a diesel heater 5 minutes talking about a diesel heater must be one of the ways

I will use a heated blanket over night. they can run about 60 to 80 watts so times that by 8to 9 hours its about 700 watts but your power inverter will run about 5 to 20 watts as well so its come to about 800 to 900 watts a night. if you got a 1000wh batter it will be almost drained. then charger it back up the next day with solar.

Which is the safest route without carbonmonixide
