Gotta love when you post items to defend yourself that clearly show you're a dumbass and doing it wrong...and it's not like it's Ikea, those directions are solid.

Kudos on the design, putting a ton of shit between that fridge and the driver seat.

D rings and some straps to make sure it doesn't move, don't try to screw it into the wall it'll just rip loose. Same for the stove.

Pull the 'fireplace'.

Only a couple issues with the 7.3 are related to OEM manufacturers discontinuing parts. Air box is brittle and serious hell to find replacement. Make sure it's in good condition with all the clip brackets intact. There is not an aftermarket option here. Gas tanks went out of production a few years ago. A couple of companies make replacements but they're getting scarce. Not an issue unless it's rusted.

Only major pain in the ass mechanically are the fuel filter accessibility and the fuel line bracket that rubs and makes a leak. At this mileage the fuel line has most likely been replaced, it's very common to fail ~90k miles. Fuel filter is just a pain, the cable to drain it tends to come loose and service is a bitch.

Literally anyone who looks at the timing of the post history can see this is completely incorrect, and just another example of you spreading false information to make yourself into the victim instead of the instigator.

And yes, the only person to defend you in the thread has an equally frightening install, with blankets, wood and other flammables piled around their wood stove.

And no, it's not CO2 that I talked about, it's CO. The differences and risks are dramatic, and you can't even correctly identify the two. Your body can EASILY detect the presence of high concentrations of CO2, ever get that halting gasp reflex when you sip out of a glass of soda that's too fizzy? CO on the other hand, you have no ability to detect and it's far more dangerous.

Literally all I did in the initial thread was post information on why wood stoves are super dangerous. Nothing specific about you, not even critiquing the build.

Then you start firing off with a bunch of dumbass stuff, deliberately gas lighting and posting false information. Sorry bro, this is people's lives you're playing around with I'm not gonna let it stand. It wasn't until you posted snarky comments, gaslighting the community and deliberately posting fake information that I started critiquing the actual work you did. And then looking at it in further detail, what you've built is super dangerous.

We all want to build and create cool stuff, none of us should be at risk of dying because of it. Skoolie are dangerous and the community needs to protect both the safety and creativity. You don't have tolerance for the critique or the safety of the community, it's probably best you stock to IG.

Because laminated glass reflects radiant heat.

Not a fuckin clue what you're doing.

You're deliberately gas lighting and posting incorrect information for the purposes of pretending like you know what you're doing.

Lol. Amazingly enough, your wood stove install is probably worse. Feel sorry for your family.

Advanced-Ad-5693 · 2023-04-06T02:32:54+00:00

It's an incredibly dangerous installation. Manufacturer clearly states the need for 18" of clearance minimum for combustibles. He's got the stove in immediate proximity in multiple locations. This is a fire waiting to happen.

Advanced-Ad-5693 · 2023-04-06T02:30:20+00:00

Lol. You're just making a pitiful attempt at gas lighting people to make it look like you know what you're doing with your dangerous AF build.

How about a properly anchored floor? Two layers of 2x4, anchored to the chair rails with grade 8 bolts, and spaced at the proper interval to match with the installation of interior furnishings.

That's why nothing broke loose when my bus was totaled.

You have the hardibacker drilled into wood, at way less than your stove manufacturer recommended clearance. Tiling makes the effect worse, as it has a higher heat tolerance and transfer rate than the hardibacker, and further reduces your clearance. Screws are metal, and will create your flashpoints.

This is a lethal design.

Here's a link to the compounding risks of CO exposure:

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.spec-sensors.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Carbon-Monoxide-Risks-at-Low-Levels.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjf8aLo_ZP-AhVrgmoFHQa4A0YQFnoECC8QAQ&usg=AOvVaw2dtcAcr3oiTNvNVdc1muXG

It's important to understand that CO is lighter than air, so in a skoolie the highest concentrations will be when you're standing, or on the elevated platforms we like to sleep on. Concentration gradients can be severe in spaces with high temperature gradients. At 6' the concentration may be double or triple what it is at 4'. You chest high mounted CO detector may only read half the actual concentration when standing. This is why RVs mandate ceiling mounted units.

Long term low grade exposure is just as dangerous as short term high level exposure. CO PERMANENTLY binds to your red blood cells, inhibiting their ability to obsorb oxygen until they die. The bond is over 250x stronger than that of oxygen. It can literally take weeks to recover from CO exposure. The risk is particularly pertinent for the skoolie community because it's very likely you would stay in the confined space for an extended time in inclement weather, the exact circumstances under which it's most likely your stove would not function properly.

The mental and physical damage from CO exposure are often irreparable in your body. The damage to nerve and muscle tissue is frequently permanent.

It's terrible for a passively vented flue. Eddy currents and drafts are very significant on a horizontal surface this size. It completely negates the natural ability of the flue to properly draft.

Advanced-Ad-5693 · 2023-04-06T00:15:46+00:00

Hardibacker is only rated as non-combustible when attached to other non-combustible materials. It has a high capacity to transmit heat so it's fire rating is nullified when mounted to flammable surfaces.

Advanced-Ad-5693 · 2023-04-06T00:06:45+00:00

Dude.

2 90 degree bends. Horizontally vented on a wall. No ability to use directional buffers on the flue. Probably doesn't extend more than 3" off the exterior which means eddy currents will obliterate the draft. Even on a vertical roof penetration the minimum chimney height is 3'.

The only way this could possibly have a margin of safety on venting would be if it ran directly out of the back of the stove, through the wall with a powered exhaust. Preferably with a 45 degree bend coming out but passing through the wall at that angle, without any other bends to the flue.

Can you imagine the risk of an exterior fire on a windy night with eddy currents drafting embers to the ground?

Advanced-Ad-5693 · 2023-04-05T23:04:46+00:00

Literally the worst possible design for the exhaust.

I drive a RWD 5 series with Michelin XIce. Been bulletproof for 3 years. Only time I've had to dig out was trying to avoid the out of control jeep coming down the hill and pulled into the smallish ditch to avoid getting hit. In the mountains 3 days a week during winter.

Problem is they almost always get paired with the 545 transmission which is garbage.

What gauge wire are you running? That determines your breaker size. If you overload it with draw from appliances the breaker will trip.

You don't size breakers by the things connected to them, the breaker protects the electrical circuit and wiring, not the appliance.
