There is no substitute for practice and experience...and so on our trip we improved a few things from the last video! Before the travel reports from our trip into the arctic cold of Scandinavia are edited, I wanted to present you with a summary of the last conversion video. Because the experiences on the trip led to some changes and new findings. And even though we have traveled to Scandinavia several times in winter with different vehicles - you always learn something. Especially with a new vehicle like our Knaus Vansation 640 MEG on MAN TGE. What can you expect from the video? Lots of explanations of what and why we changed or improved something in the van. For example, the connection of the small Autoterm diesel heater to the Truma air system - which we changed and improved again. And now it works really well! 0:00 Intro 1:00 Introduction (how cold was it?) 1:40 What does -34 degrees feel like? 2:18 Insulating the motorhome 4:15 Why does the waste water freeze? How do we fix it? 8:30 Buy a gas bottle in Scandinavia and exchange it almost everywhere 9:30 Additional diesel heater and Truma air distribution - interaction of both heaters 18:25 Should we switch to the new Truma Combi 6D anyway? 20:20 Heat the frost guard, but properly! 22:15 General: How to heat in the van, choice of tires, cold start behavior, snow chains This video is not an instruction manual on how to tackle such problem areas, but rather an overview of how I implemented it. It all works very well for our vehicle and we had no serious problems even at -34 degrees. Except... but take a look at the video yourself ;-) Photo of the pipes under the vehicle: (c) Oliver Flaß I also link to a few products that I installed in the van, these are affiliate links to Amazon. None of the products used were sponsored or provided to us at a reduced price! So we bought everything at normal prices. Additional fan: https://www.fritz-berger.de/artikel/r...
