    Heating Your Van

    <br><br>My apologies. I was unclear. You don't need to lose enough oxygen to die in order for carbon monoxide to kill you. Your hemoglobin has a higher affinity for CO than for O2. Less than 1000ppm can cause you to have serious health problems, possibly causing death.<br><br>Not trying to tell...

    Heating Your Van

    Hey guys,<br><br>I'd be concerned about carbon monoxide if you have enough combustion to cook or heat your van. The volume of air in your van could be quickly converted if you're burning 3k,6k or 9k BTU's. Air in take and exhaust are important. I'd also recommend everyone who's using any...

    how important is insulation in a van ?

    Paint color and insulation will make a huge difference in terms of heat gain. Shade will help immensely. If you can park in the shade your vehicle will never get warmer than the ambient temperature, say 95. In strong sun, your vehicle interior could reach 130.<br><br>White is probably the best...

    Free Heat

    I think it would work just fine. Might be costly or tricky to build as connecting those cans could be tricky. Still, it would work just fine on a van or rv roof.<br><br>You can also make a solar water heater by doing the same thing with that black poly tubing they sell in flat rolls for...
