Is this a terrible idea?

Building L4H3 Relay
Hoping to find some opinions from those in the know….

I’m in the earliest stages of bulid an L4H3 Relay campervan, and the over-cab space is calling me. I have a diesel combi heater. Is it a terrible idea to mount it there? Obviously the plastic will be replaced with strong stuff, and there’s plenty of room. The main issue I see is the exhaust being high on the side of the van.

I’m thinking hot exhaust rises, and by the time it cools it’ll be elsewhere - but I don’t know. As it involves cutting holes, I’d really approeciate any sensible thoughts before this ends up on ebay as a bodged half-finished effort for a quarter of what I paid!

Cheers!
 
Reading between the lines I suspect the op may have specific medical reasons why he wants the build this way, sounds like he can only spend a certain time away from home…

I do agree that solar and b2b could extend that time… plus to recharge 900ah+ of lithium on a charger at home could be expensive…

It’s 11.5kwh from 0 to 100%, so about 11kwh proper drained.
