    Slept in 2006 Dodge Caravan Minivan WITH Diesel Heater - Nearly Froze

    The solution to this is to raise to 5.5hz (5.5 fuel pump pulses per second) to increase temperature. This is the equivalent to saying " I didn't raise the Thermostat in my house above 60 degrees to save money. I nearly froze! Does anybody have a suggestion how to get the house warmer? I...

    I need guidance on a blank slate van build #2

    Cool Van! I'd keep the old van and rebuild the interior without propane, anything. Propane is mostly water vapor. It has been the cause of many motorhomes rotting from the inside out! Airflow! Those Fantastic fans work great. With that much Solar, go electric! Ditch the Propane!
