I'm in the process of installing the Truma D4E. The Cowl outside is now just a small circular one, like the gas type. Much easier to install. There is no pick up connector for the Tank sender unit though. It's an extra they want you to buy at a silly price. Nice video Hugh, very helpful. Thank you. or is that Thank Hugh 😜

Interesting with the spray foam. Does it not make the van to rigid. Or is that a good thing?

this slack jawed fairy really doesn’t know what he’s talking about Obd ports have been on vehicles as early as the 80’s ……but it just amazing your “newer van” has one 🤣 and come on let’s be honest you wouldn’t complain of an intruder in the van

Reality check! Cooking exclusively with ANYTHING solar powered during winter in the UK is UNUSTAINABLE - UNLESS you have have a MASSIVE amount of solar on board (more than most vans can carry). Just saying! Thanks for all your great videos Hugh!

10:26 you can redirect the exchager outlet to other pipe that it wilo still go to inside to cabin etc. Just use T joint there. You will use flap to reroute air to heatexchanger first and use still heat the cabin

thanks for the video! How did you get Thunderbolt system shipped to Europe? Or where did you buy it from?

Hi how did you get the pattern on the fronts? I can’t find poplar fronted ply only poplar middle I really love the contrasting grain ❤

Silly question here. Could I use the jerry can that is mounted on the back of my 4wd. I could maybe find some sort of connector to hook up when I’m using it and disconnect it when I don’t need it

Just...what,

Cheers mate, understood all things hopefully got me sorted

Brilliant

Isn't all the foam risky upon fire 🔥🔥?? Why not use Kayflex ??

How do you get rid of the strong wood smell?

Can you put more than 1 leisure battery on that fuse board? What is it rated too

What size is the bigger Jubilee Clip? Anyone have an Amazon link for good quality stainless steel clips?

pump suction hose better option than dodgy hose provided.

Good video, gives me ideas for my Sprinter stealth van. Already ordered some stuff for next upgrade on electronics. Here in Finland we call these white terminal blocks 'suger cubes'

Love the boxers (and the socks)! Any plans to return to youtube?

I'm impressed with your underwear collection... very striking! 🥰

Good video Hugh, very clear and informative. I've just ordered the D4E Truma. Should be a lot easier now to install having watched your attempt. 👍

3 things i didnt notice mentioned as a fellow owner. 1) a DODDLE to clean the cooker top if you spill stuff, Mr muscle glass cleaner, a scourer and a paper towel and its back to a factory finish. 2) because the burn process is enclosed, you dont get condensation from the fuel adding to the steam in the van like you would burning gas. 3) if you connect to the main tank, no issues with fuel additives like redex / rhino.

like all diesel engines, to get the thing started you have a glow plug to preheat the diesel. The current consumption when the glow plug is on is around 9 Amps and lasts for up to about 7 minutes depending on ambient temperature. Best used with a Lithium battery as if it drops below 12.0V. During startup it will failsafe and shutdown. This can be prevented on lead acid / agm systems by running the engine until the 3 flame symbol is lit.

Ah that paper insulated hose again you get reinforced it’s not as cheep though🙈!! But we used it on air ducting to and from brake ducting !! And it’s way more flexible without kinking !!

Hi you get compression fitting for the hard plastic use the black as the clear is susceptible to UV degrading !! Also butting it up against input on pump inside some tube if bent can obstruct opening restricting flow !! The best on other fuel lines are crimp ones you get a more even distribution on the grip!! I used to do motorsport and all these that iv’e said are all tested and proven as we’ve all gone through that with fuel lines especially on fuel injected engines as re pressure !! Also same on any air lines like on air jacks same plastic tube with pressure fittings !! 👍

What is the cable thickness for negative/pozitive 12v? I see you used single red and single black cables. Can you please tell me the thickness, size?

This is exactly how I'm building mine. I was going to go down the road with an automatic transfer switch. But as my inverter is IT grounded and new regs on bidirectional protection devices, I popped my head into the rabbit hole and thought stuff this. Without making the system to test each possible fault and protection for safety I thought it was better just to keep the two systems separate. Good to see you have a 2 pole MCB 💪🏼

Is the "Thunderbolt " system the same as "hook locks?".

I asked the makers about the smash proof covering used in n home windows & they said the product isn't ready for autos yet.

Awesome tips!

How come you stopped this bvan build?

Can I ask. Is it the long wheel base or medium wheel base? Love the video. Thank you.

Hi great video. Thanks for sharing. Can you advise if the OBD port safe that you fitted comes with the relocation mounting bracket that we saw in your video or did you make the bracket? Keep up the great work 👍

Regarding the nylon fuel line and the click clicking from the fuel pump. You suggest to “soft mount” the fuel line to reduce the fuel pump clicking sound. Could you please explain what soft mounting means? A valuable video, so thank you.

Whilst removing someone else’s work you wonder what their logic was when they did the work in the first place.

These were standard issue in the vintage campers - mine is a 1969 Travco Dodge A108 and I still have the original pipes and mounts. Just need to recanvas it

The bodge will trap moisture against the metal and rust from the inside out again. seam sealer and paint is a way better option fyi, cracking vid tho 👍

Hi did you fill in the holes at the bottom along the sides.

A Stoplock Pro Steering Wheel lock is very very difficult to remove (more than 5 mins with a grinder attack) and a highly visible deterrent. £55. For me it pays to advertise that the van has extra security, so thieves don’t even try.

Do I have to run a negative back to the fuse board? Or could I ground at a local point of the vehicle body?

If you can't find an air inlet pipe that is more robust consider to attach a larger steel pipe around it for protection.

Did yours come with a manual??? I can’t find any installation instructions on the website

Clear, concise,detailed and extremely well explained. I will definitely be using this during my van build. Many thanks!

hi and thanks im finding that its cheaper to buy 2 x 130ah batteries than 1 x 220ah , would running 2 of these in seies be safe and just the same?

At 9:56 - where do you get these "Titan grips" from?? I need some!! Thanks for sharing the video :)

Your get plenty of rain under the overhang if driving in the rain

Great simple design. Really liked it. Thanks

What was the advertised kW rating of the burner you tested?

Hey Hugh, awesome vid. Thanks. I just bought a boxer men to do the same so great to find this. A favour to ask - any chance of posting a link to the captain seats please??
