Скачать или смотреть Van Build Heating System | Installing a Diesel Heater in a Van

Welcome to our Ford Transit build series episode 12! 🚐

In this video, we will be installing a diesel heater in our 2020 Ford Transit Van. We decided to go with the Chinese Diesel Heater because of its cheap price (it's about 10x cheaper than Webasto/Espar) and because of its efficiency.

Installing the heater is pretty straight forward, however, we made a few mistakes along the way and we struggled to find a good way to mount our diesel tank. All of that is covered in the video! Be sure to watch our Lessons Learned segment at the end to hear all of our tips if you plan to take on this project.

ABOUT

We are Maddie and Nico and we’re building out our 2020 Ford Transit to live in full time. After traveling to numerous countries and living together both abroad and in the US, we have decided to take the leap and become digital nomads! Neither of us have any building or carpentry skills. We are taking on this project completely self-taught!
