Night heater outlet positioning

[Darrena16]

Hi
Needs some diesel heater output advise please. Battery going under the seat so that’s not an option. Want to put the output as close to the position in the image but struggling to find if it’s possible from under the van or even where to drill a pilot hole to check? Any advice welcome.

Can you measure back from the two holes with daylight coming through on the driver’s step? There is also a captive nut where for the floor tie down.

It is possible to have the heater outlet hose and a leisure battery under the drivers seat, it’s what my conversion has.

Measure back from the hole that the heater loom goes through.

Mine comes up pretty much where yours is on the pic. Slightly closer to the side of the van than you have yours. Fitted for me so can't help other than to say it's possible.

Mine too, 105ah fogstar and duct for heating. Snug, but works

I've got mine on the same axis...just more towards the center, behind the handbrake...again, fitted OK, if a little tight getting the pipework through to the heater in the factory location

Thanks for the response. How did you root the pipe underneath the vehicle? Did it have to go underneath the engine exhaust? Heat shield? You don’t buy any chance have any images? Do you?

Here’s mine. I’d put it a little more towards the battery if doing it again.

Physical layout of electrical components

There is plenty of information on this forum in regards to how to do the wiring in our vans. I've learnt a lot and done a lot of reading on here. I have noticed that there are no diagrams showing a physical layout of components so figured I'd upload one to hopefully assist other. My set up has...

I recall there being a heatshield being slightly in the way so i had to oval a fraction in one area and it ran tight to the underside of the floor. to be clear i installed the 2kw version which has the smaller dia (42mm?) pipe

60mm for 2Kw, 90mm for 3.5/3.9/4/5/5.5Kw

60mm for 2Kw, 90mm for 3.5/3.9/4/5/5.5Kw

Spot on....I just found my order from 2021 ans it was indeed 60mm

Mine is positioned where the tie down was - just visible top right!
