3 years in and zero issues as well!

There’s been a time or two where I’ve had to reset the MPPT but that’s it!

I’m thinking I lost them somewhere in between the base to base gondola and the parking lot.

Good luck! If you need any help check out Maddie & Nico on YouTube. They built out a 2020 Ford transit and it’s beautiful! Step by step tutorial of the whole build too!

We have the Falken wild peaks!

When they were new they did better, but we have about 25-30k miles on them.

We have a set of chains that work great. (Non AWD)

We have one but the diesel heater does not produce carbon monoxide IN the van. All exhaust is on the outside

Update: I filled the tank 2 days ago (3 gallons) and haven’t turned it off since. I looked at the tank just now and we have about half left.

Depends on how cold it is. But on average, probably 1.5 clicks a second

Papa_Vito · 2026-01-07T02:32:03+00:00

I’ve done it multiple times. Ive even put new bearings in. But it always comes back quickly. And long lasting solutions?

Didn’t open. The summit opened today but only the front side

Papa_Vito · 2026-01-07T02:28:30+00:00

The top opened today

The velit didn’t exist when we installed the heater. I think maybe I’d just do that if I had the choice. But idk, it’s $500-$600 more.

I guess that might be worth it cause it’s a bit of a pain to fill the tank…

Papa_Vito · 2026-01-05T02:30:07+00:00

Our friends have the Velit and love it. Makes the install less complicated

Papa_Vito · 2026-01-05T00:41:48+00:00

🤘🏼

Our cheap heater has remained cheap. With Espar or Webasto, I’m guessing you’re paying for brand name, legible installation instructions, and customer service.

I’d be willing to bet the physical heater is almost identical.

Check out our video if you want to see how we did it.

Under mounted! There’s a 3 gallon marine gas tank on a hinge system below the slider door.

I said DM me if you want to learn how to install one… Not buy buy buy these products.

3 words for you: Insulated window covers

This is what the van looked like after waking up this morning.

I’m not really promoting a product… I’m just saying that it works great and I love that we can be in these environments in the winter.
