Hey Guys,

What system would you recommend to have fitted in your van to heat the water up, the safe way. What have you done, for those who have fitted heated systems?

Thanks

Budget is a big thing you can get hot water from £20 first of all do you want to have hot water all the time or just for winter

like mark said there are some cheaper ways of doing it,

i just fitted a eccotemp L5 water heater.

then there are some slighly bigger ones that work the same as the L5

then there is the big boys systems

Difficult question to answer if you have never experienced hot/warm. Do you need to keep working at minus 5-1o or want hot for cleaning cons roofs etc. I need to remove mine in the summer to put in a 300L tank so my use of warm for example is just for 6 months.At minus 5-10 hot water can crack glass, most reccomend 20 degree temp above the ambient air so at minus 5 you may only need 15 degree luke warm.

Like to use the system for both winter and summer. Would not use it too hot during the winter months due to cracking the glass like Jeff said.

Cheapest way is to get yourself 2 of these if you are on a budget

i was speaking to a windy last week in the cafe and he had these and swears by them he said they are cheap does the job stops the tank from freezzing

if you are on a budget and you got a combi boiler and you can use a di vessel and get hot water straight away it wont last to long but might get you a few hours work until weather improves

As you know i use a immersion heater and i fill for me it is my the best option .I heat it up at night when i need to not many times a year just for a few £ `s` while i am doing this it is keeping my van nice and warm so none of my tools freeze. It cost about £30 to install so very cheap

Which HEATER 25W 50W 100W 150W 200W 300W would you go for, and how would u rig it up? Would you connect it to a leisure battery, and if so, would it last all night?

i have heard some good things about these a quick cheap way of getting warm water i dont no if they are cheap to run or what one to advise as that would determine the size of your tank but if you went for the biggest you could always turn it down

People say that the 300w ones would be better, the are used in most fish tanks upto 260 gallons, (over 1000lts) temp can be turned upto about 34-36degrees.
