Diesel Heater Priming
I can't for the life of me find out how to put this into priming mode online and my heater came without a manual. (LF-Bros ES5.0 5KW 12V Parking Diesel Heater if that matters. I think the controller is a T2). I have a tiny little air bubble in the line. This happened last year, but I'm unable to contact the person that fixed it. I tried to squeeze the line and push it through but my fingers are not strong and I'm worried any tool would rip the hose. I've tried cold starting it to run the line probably 20 times and the air bubble won't move.

Sound insulation
Hi guys! I'm very new to this whole thing, I've recently decided to buy a van next year. The problem is, I'm a terribly light sleeper and very sensitive to noise in general....I have not looked into too many details but of course I'm definitely going to install extra sound insulation no matter what make I buy. However, my question is, strictly from the perspective of sound insulation, what should i go for: a cargo van or a passenger van with lots of windows?
How do i install another seat in a van?
I have a minivan that i have removed the middle row of seat and folded the rear from so it's completely flat, but i wonder how could i install an aftermaket seat inside facing the rear (since i am planning to install a TV in the rear) i want it to be the type of seat that would already come in a vehicle (not some random short chair or something ) so it's comfortable, but i really do not know how to attach one even if i find one, if someone knows how to i’d really like to know how it is done.
Camping with a dog—how do you organize the stuff that never fits?
Apparently my little boy thinks the space next to the battery is his. 😂 I’m figuring out storage for camping with him. Once the battery is in, the bowls, food, leash, and towels all need somewhere to go. I want his stuff easy to grab without having to unload half the camper. I’m torn between one removable bin and a few smaller door-mounted organizers. The bin seems easier to pack, but the organizers might make better use of the space. What’s worked for you—and what became annoying after a few trips?
