I did similar and eventually ditched the insert because I could never get it sealed well and hated that it blocked a hatch while in use. I eventually just cut and inlet hole on the back of the camper and am much happier with it.

A not on your condensation comment, the muffler actually has a weep hole. So it doesn’t matter which way the pipe is pointed and long as the weep hole is oriented correctly. But your comment is valid as his post did not have the weep hole oriented correctly either.

I like those 90's. Where did you find them?

Here's a couple shots of the hatch open with the wedge

You should sell those.

Yah, that is a pretty impressive wedge.

I got them from Amazon. The ones I got aren’t in there anymore. But just search diesel heater elbow and there’s plenty of options. Between there and eBay you can get every elbow, splitter, or attachment you can think of for these heaters.

I haven't contributed here in awhile... But here's some YouTube videos I've made over the past 6 months related to these awesome campers!









Let me know if you guys have any questions. Created a blog for this specific build a few months ago if anyone is interested in following...

Today's Ramble: I don't live in my OVRLND truck camper full-time, but I use it daily - The Rambling Truck Camper

You don't have to live in a truck camper or camper van to get the best use out of it. We use it in our daily lives.

Cheers guys!

A few more...










Next order of business is figuring out how I want to do a roof rack. I had them use unistrut for the rails instead of rhino rack rails, so I'm thinking about doing a horizontal set of unit strut on top of it. Want to mount traction boards and maybe a rod holder tube.

These are all nice content topics, to me. I will enjoy watching the ones I didn't already watch. Will watch on youtube though, so I can smash dat Like Button

That magnetic light in your hatch looks pretty cool, You can probably stick it anywhere you want to the outside of your truck too or wherever there's steel

On to a new subject.....
I have an OVRLND on my F250 with the barn doors. I have been thinking about go to the full barn doors. But, I hate to lose the back up camera that is in the tail gate. Has anyone with the full barn doors come up with a solution to some how incorporate the back up camera onto the rear door?

Thanks Jeff

I'm also looking to add the barn door extension! I was about to come over here and ask if anybody has done it and how was the experience.

I actually have my backup camera placed just above the barn doors. It's a completely wireless camera that came with its own display. In my opinion, that's the perfect location for a backup camera

I don't have an Overlnd, when I went to barn doors I was able to buy a cam that plugged into the Ram rear cam harness on Amazon. Sorry, I don't remember the brand of cam.

Played around with my heater today. I cut both the power and control cables. Added twist connect fittings. Drilled and mounted the surface mounts. Ran new wires, and gave it a test.
Everything worked great. Tested the thermostat setting, seemed to work just fine. The burner shut down when the temperature was reached. The fan slowed way down, but stayed on. Then the burner would reignite when the temperature dropped.
I need to test it out when it's below 20° F and see how it does.

Pretty slick setup, how do you fill the Aux tank up?

The tank cap is accessible in the wheel well, I have a 5 gallon diesel tank that I fill up at the pump and then I use it to fill the 5kw which I now use to heat my garage; and the 2kw tank for the truck. I use a ball check valve syphon hose and it takes about 2 minutes to transfer. I find that after 4-5 days of running the heater straight, I still have about a half tank (4 gallon on the truck). This is an example of the hose I use.

I decided not to cut in any kind of a fill nozzle from outside, as I am only filling this tank up occasionally and this works well enough for the mild inconvenience.
