If you've stuck around for a while on the channel you'll know what a colossal pain in the arse my Eberspacher diesel heater has been.
Forever throwing up faults and not firing up, during the coldest of nights or when it been ran and is warm. Unless the conditions are as pin point as inside a hadron collider the bastard won't work!
I've spent too long trying to make it work, it's as old as the van and I was confident it's day way done.
So I'm swapping it out for a Chinese rip off version! And I explain in the video my reasoning.

I've opened an Amazon store! It has all the items I've used to build the van, accessories I have or rate, tools, electrical items, dog bits and much more. This is aimed at answering all of your parts and kit questions:

Updated regularly when I upgrade kit or find better alternatives. Also included is items I get asked about all the time so I've added what I would use if building a camper again.

During the previous videos, Changing the bed, floor, fixes ect. I also repainted the walls inside.
It was dark in the van so needed a new colour to brighten things up.
The exterior paint got some tlc too with a good buff up to get rid of the hundreds of scratches caused by my offload antics.
Id decided a long while ago that my microwave was a useless addition to the van and it had to go. In doing so opened up a nice large area above my cab for more storage (an everlasting battle living in a van).
So I went about tarting it up and making it functional.
