8L water heater

[HALTON]

I use a 6L fogwash. I just pull the chimney up (its like tin foil), close the back door until it touches the chimney, then I put a combination lock through the door handle and through a hoop that I've bolted on the other back door. This way I have ventilation all around the heater, plus a bit of security

Any pics m8 or links to both heater and chimney ?

we made a metal cabinet around our heater also the top of it is sloped so it pushes all fumes out of the side door

no they are not, very similar though, these are a lot smaller

they are a portable shower for camping

They just require propane and 'good' flow of water then? Could you link me to one please? Want to fix one to a trolley for super cold days. Brrrrr

yes just a propane bottle and a flow, the one I fitted for another window cleaner fired up when his digital controller hit 10, which is a low flow rate. |

if you google eccotemp L5 water heaters these are the ones I 100% recommend, cost a little more than other cheap ones but last a lot longer.

not always good on a trolley as any breeze can blow them out.

only if you have a 240v supply to the van.

a lot lol most electric showers are 10kws lol

 

[peter rogers]

mate break that down for me in amps lol wats kws

10.5kw - 10500watts divided by 230volts = 45.65amps

9.5kw - 9500watts divided by 230volts = 41.30amps

8.5kw - 8500watts divided by 230volts = 36.95amps

 

[peter rogers]

is that per hour

 

[rcproperty]

is that per hour

I believe so, but those figures are on mains power not battery

Why does the flue have to go out top or side why can it not be directed via a flue out the floor as its only fumes its getting rid of?
