I don't want to be self-serving, and I don't exactly have a camper, but I do live in a van and have a YouTube channel.

It's a gas heater that taps into the vans gas tank and uses about 1 gallon of fuel for every 22 hours or so. It depends on how cold it is and how hot the one wants to be. [emoji106]?[emoji1][emoji604] So the cost is relative to how much you pay per gallon of gas.

I like it! Yes, it taps right into the gas tank. [emoji106]?[emoji1][emoji604]

The unit brings fresh air for the combustion from the outside, and the exhaust is obviously also expelled to the outside. The air for the living area is recirculated inside only. I didn't want it to come from the outside as it's much more economic to reheat the air inside than to heat frigid...

A couple months ago a decided to invest in something different to heat my van. It wasn't cheap, and it's not for everyone, but after much research I decided to buy the Webasto Air Top 2000 ST B; the B stands for gasoline engines.  I came across this very same unit in the early beginning of my...

Maybe it's the pee hole? Or the air intake? Emergency exit? Pet cockroach egress/ingress door? [emoji23][emoji106][emoji604]

I took the van to Cat Scales. You can find them in many truck stops.

Thoughts on living in the van the past year. Before I go on about my thoughts on living full time in the van for the last year and a half, let me tell you that some of my plans have changed, and with that so have the van's configuration. But that's a comment for another time. From the day I...

I'm considering a couple things for this coming winter. One, I'd like to buy the Dickensen P9000 heater, but before I do I need to have a way to supply it with propane.  This leads me to the second thing I'm considering; how feasible is it to have a horizontal propane tank installed under my...

I have a 2500 Chevy cargo van, regular length. With everything in it, including me: 7400 pounds. 1200 under weight limit. If you want to see what I have in it you can check the thread: 2014 Chevy Express 2500 cargo van build, or visit my YouTube channel: Rolling Earth-Ship.

You came to the right place for ideas, information, and an enormous amount of different people living in all kinds of different vehicles. I myself live full time in a cargo van. Welcome!

Cool, thank you! [emoji106][emoji106][emoji1][emoji604]

Free Range Chicken, you have your private messages disabled, I can't respond to you. I did get the message and will be posting something soon. [emoji1][emoji106][emoji604]

Thank you very much! With all your suggestions I'm good, as I'm familiar with those. But being familiar with them is not the same as being experienced with them. How long have you used the tank in the van? And did you ever have a problem? What kind of alarm do you have? A while back I bought a...

Here's my setup done just a week ago. A view from the back with the tank hidden; By removing a bungee I can remove the piece of plywood that hides and also helps keeping it in place; The tank is secure in place, not only by the bungee and plywood, but by the back of my bed, and by three...

I have a new (never used) 20 pound propane tank bought last year but never used in the van. I know many van dwellers use them inside their vans with zero problems. But I'm a bit apprehensive. I used the one pounders all last winter with no issues, but this is a much larger tank.  Any ideas or...

I've been thinking of changing my insurance for a while now, from regular vehicle insurance to RV insurance. Question for you; what requirements did State Farm ask of you? Were you required to have certain things in the van to pass as an RV? Which ones? Did you have to change the vehicle...

Bob, thank you for the very kind words! [emoji1][emoji106][emoji604]

Added a few more things to the Earth-Ship. I've had these two lights installed since I got my solar; A few weeks ago I installed this one by the door; And yesterday I installed the 4th and probably last one; The last two lights are connected to this wall switch; As of right now I only have...

Disregard that. My fingers were faster than my mind. I saw 4 minutes in my mind, when in fact you have 4 hours. [emoji23]
