Diesel Heater Ducting? What to use?

[pappawheely]

I'm mounting a diesel heater to a roof rack and then running hoses into my hard-sided camper shell. What is everyone using for ducting? Some cheesy cardboard type stuff came with the heater. It's not enough and doesn't look like it will stand up to the weather. Let me know what you have used. I want to run multiple ducts inside the camper.

Look up Flexadux P2

I'm curious about this too. Also, have you decided what kind of ports / ducts you will be attaching to your camper shell?

Look up Thermaflex S-TL. For a minimal amount of insulation one size can be run inside the other.

I use this with my diesel heater.

Flexduct X2, ou can wrap insulation around it, I used it in home renovations and works just fine.

Alternative, check out PVC materials, fencing post covers, base flanges, easy to cut, gives hard, clean duct to any run. Drain pipe ripped down the center in lengths could make wall or overhead ceiling "registers" use 1/2 or 1/4 radius of the pipe and they have caps to plug the end.

Does that live outside in the sun and cold?

The heater I have comes with four 1.5" diameter ports. I plan to route them to different areas of the shell. I have converted the rear seat of my crewcab to storage that includes my house batteries. I was thinking of routing one of the heater ducts to the cab to keep my batteries cozy too. Am I getting out of control?

Diesel heater passthrough for SUV

I'm having a difficult time finding the correct items/parts that are needed to have a diesel heater vented into my SUV. I am going to pop the top on my vehicle and instead of having the vehicle running all night when in cold areas/nights, I'd like to have the option of a diesel heater. Also...

Yes

I've converted a four hole outlet to a one hole. One hole to four holes might be handy. Smaller hoses to run. Ebay has lots of parts. Pay close attention to dimensions and how outlet covers attach.

@pappawheely PVC melts the output is quite hot

I tried to find online what the temperature is coming out of the heater but everything I found was about converting watts.
