The LED's you see in my video are all 12 volt LED tape lights No problems so far in the van The ones I use come in a 16 foot spool and have a clear silicone waterproof coating $9.99 on amazon Here's the link on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005EHHLD8

I agree 15 volts would make a good ceiling cap Better yet 16 volts for a safety margin :)

The technician at Maxxair said this to me on the phone Not that the boards will automatically just blow up above 13.9 vdc, just that that can get wonky :) Defining what "Wonky" means is anybody's guess

Not complicated at all Are you expecting a huge voltage drop from a pair of wires that is 12 inches longer than the one from the panel next door?

Pretty simple thing posting pictures My grand kids even know how to do it  :D

Yep, that's what I told the technician at Maxxair They probably enjoy selling $42 replacement boards :) Anywho, I hopefully have solved the issue in my van for now.

My MaxxFan 5100k fan has the auto temperature circuit That circuit died and the fan no longer would come on at a certain temp setting According to the techs at Maxxair, the fan board should not see any more than 13.9 volts DC. The guys at MaxxAir sent me a replacement board, no charge They also...

You could probably set one of those right on the burner and test it

I don't think I am not going out to the van today, it's 5 degrees F right now  :-/ Also, I don't want to take my rig apart It has thermal paste between the pan and the aluminum block on the heat pipe which gets messy and I don't have any more of it on hand I probably have several old mother...

I thought I would do another test this morning of the stove heater BTW, my van is in my driveway, I don't live in the van :) I meant to get out early when it was 13 degrees F but I forgot It was 23 degrees F when I entered the van and 23 F is the high of the day I set the stove flame on low...

No, sorry, only tube amp parts http://hoffmanamps.com

That rod is cool!

BTW, this is the computer heat pipe I bought on Amazon It was $14.99 on November 8 2017 I noticed they jack the price up and down on this thing all the time One week the price is low, next week it' high Currently it's $29.04, but I have seen it as high a $50 before Amazon and their price games...

Thanks all I don't think I would run this rig while sleeping :) I never smelled anything coming off the old Teflon pan Then again, the heat level is way lower than frying something in the pan I do have a CO alarm in the van, but my Mr Buddy never even triggered it And that was a bunch more...

I got back from a mountain bike ride and saw this cool DIY camper trailer parked next to my van The guy was pulling it with a big pickup truck  He had to back the trailer into the weeds a bit to get out of the way of the road So, that's why the trailer looks like it's been abandoned in the...

I  experimented with a simple way to get less heat than my Mr Buddy portable My Mr Buddy will run me out of my van. It's way too hot at 4000 BTU (on Low) Even the golf cart heaters are 3800 BTU and that is way too much for a small space A long time ago I saw that Bob used the same coleman...

Hi Guys, I recorded video #5 of my Ford Transit van conversion today and here is the youtube link to that video [video=youtube]

I got tired of exiting out the rear door using that crappy plastic latch that is 10 inches off the floor So this is my mod that I just finished so I have a nice rear door exit lever
