Espar D2 Install is underway. Decided to put it right in front of the driver rear wheel well. There is a flat section just big enough if you modify the mount.
Created a drill pattern from the mount
used a combo of a stepped drill bit and punches to get the holes as close to the right size as possible
How it looks from underneath
So i modified the mouting plate a little bit. The metal part was supposed to go on the inside of the van with this foam sealer, both which wwere too big for the spot. So insteat I have the heater gasket sealing to the inside of the floor and then am sandwhiching a piece of high temp reubber between the modified mounting plate and the bottom of the van.
So thats where I am on that. But I do have a question on the wiring if anyone is experienced on that. If not, at least the next person will have this to look at.
I am trying to wire in the high altitude kit. First off, I hated the connections (probably due to my incompetence with auto harnesses) So I am just going to use a terminal block.
Anyways, I have it connected per the manual as such:
THe top right goes to the controller and the bottom right goes to the heater.
I understand what to do with the 3 extra wires that go to the heater. Disregard the grey and twist the other two together per the manual.
But for the controller side I am stumped. It does not mention what to do with the brown/white and grey/red wires (the ones that are twisted together for the pump side). I assume I disregard the grey as I did for the pump side. And it is missing the brown wire that connects to the high altitude kit.
Any ideas? Going to try and contact espar as well.
