Please install a diesel heater for Poe. It's better for your vehicle and it will help with your condensation issues. You also need to get proper ventilation in that thing. Carbon monoxide is no joke. Get one of those inside just to be safe. You got this, Maria!

@debbiemaddox9446 Год назад

@waynepeterson1061 Год назад

The semi tractor-trailers I used to drive had the same ice build-up on the wiper blades, to the point the rubber was an inch off the glass. My Jeep CJ-5 also had that problem. The company I drove for was too cheap to install heated wipers.

@BassManBobBassCovers Год назад

Sounds fresh

@vonrunner Год назад

You should install a diesel heater in the defender. They are much more effective at heating than a buddy heater, they create dry heat which won't cause condensation, and you can tap it into the defender's fuel tank so you always have a fuel source for it.

@globallandrovers Год назад

Yes, we fitted these to our Icelandic builds, very effective in temperatures as low as minus 60 Celsius.

@anderama001 Год назад

I was just going to suggest this myself,i have one in my suburban. I can't believe I didn't do it sooner. I used it to heat my roof top tent in 0°f weather. I stayed extremely warm and they sip diesel. I had it running for about 2 days straight.

One of the things that I learned from an old truck driver was to keep the defrosters on max to keep the wipers from freezing. If it gets too hot open side windows to bleed some heat off.

@MarekzAnglii 6 месяцев назад

FYI... In such cold conditions, a windshield (or any window) can crack by slapping the wipers against it. And pulling wiper blades off ice laden glass can also easily destroy the wiper rubbers themselves.

@brentbush2176 Год назад

Hi Maria!!! Just a safety tip. Always keep a few candles with you inside of Po. One candle lit inside of your truck will make a huge difference in temperature during times like this video in extreme conditions.

@fotomotoxxiii Год назад

You need a diesel heater. They're cheap and your truck is already a diesel. Also you won't get the condensation you get from your propane heater and it's safer. Mount it to your roof rack and get someone to cut a hole into your rig and insulate it. You'll have all the heat you can want.

300tdi advice make sure your water level in the header tank in always 3/4 full Make sure the oil is on the mark Dont rev it to high and dont drive to far with the diff lock on ✌ from uk

@overlandready Год назад

agree here! Diff lock is surface dependant really, if likely to be slipery, use it, don't engage if on a hard surface. good quality oils are the key to good engine life and agree, don't rev till warmed a bit, if the oil is a little sludgy, it will kill it.

@klouism1 Год назад

Just a suggestion, in freezing weather if you can avoid setting the emergency brake I think it would be advisable sometimes they will freeze up and not want to release because of the freezing temperatures. Thank you for the video.

I watch a few vanlifers from Canada. Most of them used to used the buddy heaters. They all had the condensation issue until they got either a diesel dry heater. Since you run on diesel, they just tapped into the main gas tank, and never have to worry about it running out. Some cold days they run it all night. Maybe something to think about, also don’t have to worry about carbon monoxide

@paul4835 Год назад

Did a internet search and the result agrees with what you stated. When propane burns water vaper is given off.

@avid.venture Год назад

Totally. I’m in Canada currently burning propane all night and it sucks. Can’t wait to get my hands in a diesel heater.

@Monarch67 Год назад

Exactly, you can just get a cheap Chinese Diesel Heater, running that in my Jeep, dry heat and so much safer. Either way I would have a carbon monoxide detector for safety though. I have been running a diesel heater in my Jeep for overlanding and love it.

The worst thing you can do is wear clothing while sleeping in the cold. My wife and I own 2 acres in the Alleghany mountains of NY, and we get at least 4ft of snow up there every year. I always sleep with underwear only. I roll up my clothes and put them in the bottom of the sleeping bag. By doing so, you allow that 98.6 to fill the bag and keep you cozy and warm. My wife wears her clothes and always wakes up cold. I know you can't show us, but I hope you take this advice and use it in the future. God's best to you and your buddy while you travel.🙂
