Chinese Diesel Heater Install | Affordable Heat for Winter Van Life | Ford Transit Mark 6 Camper Van

Description

In this video, we take you through our full DIY installation of a diesel heater in our camper van, Flossie. After purchasing a budget diesel heater from eBay for just £85, we faced a few unexpected challenges—from broken tools to tight spaces under the van. But we pushed through and completed the install, sharing every step along the way! In this video, you’ll see where we placed the heater, the hole drilling process, and how we connected the fuel intake directly from the van’s fuel tank for a streamlined setup. If you’re looking to install a diesel heater yourself or just want to see what goes into a DIY camper van heating setup, this video is for you!
