    it sounds to me like you have an electrical short, probably a pinched wire. What I do is to disconnect the fuse one at a time at night to isolate the circuit that is shorting. Its a slow process but its better than just tearing wires out looking for it. Good luck on your safari hunt.

    Chinese diesel heaters don't work above 5000 feet elevation. Buyer beware!

    I have a chinese diesel heater and it works fine at 5500 feet with no problems. If you go to the diesel heater forums there are lists that show how to adjust the burners fuel rate for higher elevations. These things are in nearly every over the road semi in the land operating at all locations.

    Propane information

    I have transported the refillable lp tanks for years with no problems. They are much heavier gauge metal than the throw aways. As they hold a much larger supply of propane inside you will have fewer times that you need to make connections to the bottles, that is usually when you have a leak...
