Total Composites Slide In Camper Kits

With Diesel you reduce the fire hazard. No issues above 10,000 with the Autotherm heaters. I run mine on Kerosene to increase the efficiency and any issues with freezing temperatures.
As far as I know, the gasoline heaters are likely to have issues at altitude.

Victorian, Have you tried or heard of others cutting diesel with kerosene (e.g. 10% mix) or adding winter additives to their fuel tanks for their furnaces? Given the higher price and more limited availability of kerosene vs diesel I think using the additive or mixing in kerosene sounds preferable. Id like to be able to fill my external flatbed fuel tank directly at the gas station as well. I'm just worried about these tiny fuel lines/filters on these heaters below zero F.

I mix the fuels all the time on my camper. The diesel additives is actually the thing I would avoid at all cost. These will clog up your burner by creating sot. Hence the Kerosene, it's super clean and burns without residue.

Thanks for the advice. Have you found a good mix ratio? Is 10% enough or is it closer to 50/50 for this type of application?

Also What are your thoughts on plumbing an extra heater duct into the battery/water tank compartments? Or do you think the TC panels and a single well placed heater vent is enough to warm these components with the cabinets closed? (6.5 slide in). I also plan on adding one of those Lunos Ego exchanger in place of any roof top vent/fan/skylight.

Don't think there is a perfect ratio. I mix as I go or go pure. The only thing I'm watching for is to have NO summer diesel in my system when it gets cold.
If you tanks are inside and the heater is going you shouldn't have to worry about tanks such.

I would love to hear more about your personal experiences and mods with this camper, as well as why you chose this over other options! I am seriously considering one of these!
I'd say he probably chose this because he is the one who created and builds them :)

So… I guess a specific draw for the Ranger is needed ! I’m in ! Still waiting ?

The engineering is done for the ranger… Feel free to reach out to one of our partners for pricing And timelines. Haven’t had the chance to cross check with the other trucks for fitment.
