Our Ultimate Diesel Heater Install Guide - all the DIY Tips & Tricks for your Camper, Caravan or RV

In this detailed episode we run through each of the components of a diesel heater install listing out what you need to consider and look. We also run through a number of improvements and upgrades including a nifty solution for silencing the diesel fuel pump.

While we are installing in our Jayco Journey, we try to keep this video quite general, even touching on how I would approach with a Jayco camper, like our Swan, including layout considerations, plumbing and many other do and don't install tips and tricks.

This is a real proper consolidation on everything we have learnt and researched over many years and we are sure it will help many out in the community who are researching and looking to do their own DIY installation.
