New forum, maybe we can start off with members posting introductions?
I've been using an Afterburner since 2021 on my Skoolie (a school bus converted to a tiny home on wheels) and have used it to keep warm in more than a dozen states. We have a generic 5kw heater from Amazon and are able to keep our bus comfortable in temperatures well below freezing. Besides the wifi control and tuning abilities, my favorite feature of the AB is the frost mode setting, where I can have it automatically come on if the temperature drops below a (surprisingly high thanks to the wife) minimum temp without having to wake up and do it myself.
We generally try to spend winters in Florida and Texas where it almost never gets into the 20s but we do have quite a few nights in the 30s here. I know, people in northern places will laugh at our pathetic tolerance for cooler temps but I'm at an age where my hands stop working and start hurting when the needle drops below 60. A particularly nice feature we've done with our bus is to plumb the heater directly to the main fuel tank, which allows us to fill up in November and not worry about fuel until spring, my AB right now says we've burned 205 gallons of fuel since we installed it.
I've helped a dozen folks install diesel heaters in bus conversions and RVs and I always recommend the AB along with them. If anyone has questions about using a chinese diesel heater or afterburner in a bus, camper, RV, etc just holler!
