    electrical malfunction

    So without delay I went ahead and drove a 1" steel pipe into the earth probably 10 ft. Connected it to ground and the feedback from the stove enclosure was entirely gone. The ethernet cables likewise ceased to be energized and internet service is restored with far less latency. If a hot and...

    electrical malfunction

    I need help figuring out how to solve some electrical problems that have arisen with the rain. I live in cabin supplied by some power and water supplied by a well. The power is nothing more than several 14 or 16 ga 100' extension cords strung from one of the property's original buildings...

Maybe I would terminate the exhaust 20 ft downward from the heater, except going up would better ensure it doesn't mix with air for breathing. A small weep...

    Chinese Diesel Heater Troubleshoot

    Hi, I am having the exact same problem as the OP with this heater installed in a small cabin and yet I am suspecting some moisture may have gotten into the unit (ECU?) via the exhaust port. I was careful to bend the end of the exhaust in an upside-down 'U' at the end so that water would not have...

    Uncertain Beginning

    I am currently working on a pickup truck camper setup and just finished mounting (2) 100W Renogy panels on the shell. To keep the cables in place, I quickly but naively snapped them together in a closed circuit. A couple weeks later I glanced at the situation and saw how this is a terrible...
