''Gas Heater''

I stopped after reading this, Thats an accident waiting to happen

I was looking on eBay, 1ft 45w/60w 2ft 120w...

Think I'll go for the 2ft... Iv an inverter in the vAn that I used to charge my phone, did you connect yours to your wfp system battery? I'll prob use the cig lighter for driving around then plug into the house for over night...

It's Baltic today!

I had the immersion idea but if it's not like wiring a plug then it's out of my league

Im going for the big one too, I may have both of them wires up. I was thinking about putting the smaller one inside the box, Then having a few pin sizes holes in the top. It may keep the tank a few degrees hotter. Then having the larger one on the outside

Would fill the van up with carbon monoxide and will cause condensation too.

I was just out putting equipment in the van there, went to drive it round close to my gate and its took a few turns of the key to start. It was like the battery was drained. Hows that possible?

are you using the heater from the vans own battery??

 

[Squeak and Bubbles]

Cold weather doesn't like dud battery's.. if your main van battery is on it's way out, the winter weather can bring them out... Unless your heated van system is running off the main battery?!

No the leisure battery
