Truck Canopy Diesel Heater

[SteveAndTheCrigBoys]

Long story short, I got a free Vevor diesel heater. Been wanting to buy one for the truck bed sleep setup, now I gotta figure out how to rig it.

Through one of the side windows is the most obvious, but I have bug screens in there and really like being able to leave those open in the summer. Not sure if blowing through the screens will cause an issue, anyone ever done it?

Don't think there's enough room to pipe it into the cab facing window.

Any thoughts?

Following. I'm going to be doing the same this year for the first time, so I bought a little buddy heater. I'm not sure how well its going to work out.

Condensation is the main issue!

You could leave it in the truck bed and vent the exhaust through the side to the wheel! If you want a pass through with the heater on the out side I would run it through the truck cab window with a “window vent”. There are kits for this exact set up online that the over landers use.
