New barn heater

[Johnny Boy]

I bought this Chinese cab heater for my camper van 3 years ago, and never fitted it.

So I fitted it up in the barn.

It's great , it's a diesel indirect air heater and exhausts out side , so no horrible fumes.

Do you preheat barns so you can keep up all the OSF barn finding during winter?

In the UK we find pre heated barns provide better finds, and are more pleasant to visit during the winter months 🤪

Everyones going soft! Wheres that "Scott of the Antarctic" discovery spirit? I suppose not everyone comes back using that philosophy though? Takes the shine of a forgotten Twincam found in the hay bales I suspect.

Like that.

Where's the fuel tank stored. Is it outside via the black hose?

How do you think these would fair underseat in a van now that you've played with it?

The heater are great in a van Dale, it was the first thing I fitted in my transit. Gets it nice and warm. You should be able to buy a proper tank connector for you dub like you can for the transit.

Cheers Col.  That's another one going on the list, after I get the passenger door back open

Heres a pic , with the fuel tank fixed to the wall, it's only 3 inches wide ,so doesn't stick out too far.

I was going to have it outside , but in the end inside was better,no waxing of the fuel in cold weather.

My camper is a Nissan nv200, and I think the 8kw heater would have been too hot, 2kw better.

Right, now I can see it 👍

Sounds a good unit. I was initially thinking of a small fan heater, run from hookup, but this sounds good 👍
