I used a vevor diesel heater in my roof top tent on my overland Toyota Tacoma. This was a cold and snowy night so it was a perfect test for this heater to camp.

Finally! Someone who puts out a great video on the Jackery battery usage while running a diesel heater, awesome job!

@Blade-mh3mi Год назад

Super cool rig man. Great job on the video also.

@ModernDayViking Год назад

Thanks I appreciate it!!

Looks fun I want to get a tent for my Tacoma

@ModernDayViking Год назад

Mine is on sale currently on Amazon

@Mumfy64 Год назад

Looks like a fun trip.

@ModernDayViking Год назад

Was a blast! Hopefully I can get back out again soon

@Redial2416 Год назад

OK, now I must admit I am a bit jealous. All that is missing is a couple of good fishing poles.

@ModernDayViking Год назад

I know! I need to start fishing. Would love to do a catch and cook one of these days.

I saw in another video where the Jackery used to shut down without ventilation. Waterproof information should be on the label.

@gabrielreyes8476 Год назад

Yeah, that cheap Chinese heater will keep your ass warm af all night with little to no problems. This is what I run exclusively because it works and parts are easy to find should you need them. I wouldn't run any other setup. Put that mf in a cheap HF box and life is golden in the winter. Take care of it and don't trash it and it will fucking last. Most issues are absolutely user error; others are out of the box and it does happen from time to time. Never an issue with mine. It just fucking works.

@Chiefcpc 10 месяцев назад

The only thing that causes me concern in the possibility of CO rising and getting into you tent. It doesn't smell and can kill you. It happened to us in our home and we were lucky to survive. Good luck.

@TRalstoon 8 месяцев назад

They make CO detectors you know right?

I wish there was an easier way to waterproof these from the elements. Im over here trying to figure out a pvc housing for it...and i see you just tossed a lid on it. Shoot, im gonna just try that first lol i have a tire step setup for my D H. So not much mobility.

@Ash13ley100 Год назад

Great video as always ❤

@ModernDayViking Год назад

Thank you 🤗

@MitchOfCanada Год назад

i would just put a crazy carpet drapped over the box outside and it should keep enough of the weather away from it, if possible get controller extension cable and put it inside your tent.

@billye99 Год назад

Awesome set up. I have that jackery and been thinking about getting a diesel heater as well. And i just moved to PA last year from Maryland and just got my rooftop and looking for cool spots that that to try out. Where about is that located or spots like that? I'd appreciate it.

@ModernDayViking Год назад

Congrats on moving, that spot is in the Allegheny national forest

@billye99 Год назад

Thank you I appreciate that.

@aliakbarnikfarjaam2909 Год назад

Thanks for sharing this cool experience with us. How was that clicking noise overnight? Wasn't that irritating? Also how about the smell of burnt diesel which comes off the exhaust?

@ModernDayViking Год назад

The clicking if you have the heater set between 1-3 is not noticeable up in the tent over the sound of the fan pushing the heat. The only time it really smells like anything is during start up and shut down. While it runs it seems to burn really clean and not smell

@SP4RAPTURE 11 месяцев назад

I love mine , just had it for a week so far, the light clicking sound isn't even noticeable and the fan is quiet, the air is toasty and warm , ....

@darinb4794 Год назад

Maybe this is a dumb question. this requires diesel fuel and the jackery to run?

@ModernDayViking Год назад

Yes it runs of diesel and require some form of 12-volt power to run

@armedmindset6778 10 месяцев назад

I don't think they have any waterproof rating. Smart to keep it dry.

@chrisfrey5905 Год назад

Slip on the creek bank.... AWESOME!!!!! inches away from using the diesel heater to dry your underwear.

That’s the jackery 290? Was thinking about buying this exact set up for my Jeep.

@davidschlarp1606 6 месяцев назад

Because the DC only has 10 amps and a Diesel heater needs about 15 to heat the glow plug. Idk how the hackery is working even it only has 10 amps too

@ModernDayViking 6 месяцев назад

The heater pulls 9.2amp max while starting.

@silvia393 Год назад

Why didn't you just back your truck up into the water and stand on roof rack to get drone? Lol

@ModernDayViking Год назад

Haha way to steep and a fire was blocking it

@zacklong7398 8 месяцев назад

Is that the 5 or 8KW heater? Looking at doing a similar setup and figuring out which heater to get!

@ModernDayViking 8 месяцев назад

This is the 5KW setup

@dillonfox7433 9 месяцев назад

My heater keeps overheating and it seems to be because of the length of the hot air supply duct. Have you had any issues with this? Yours appears plenty long.

@ModernDayViking 9 месяцев назад

No, I have never experienced any overheating errors with mine

@silvia393 Год назад

Put chili over scrambled eggs. Trust me.

@ModernDayViking Год назад

That sounds pretty fantastic haha
