Water heaters gas or diesel, so I think you would need a big trolley for all the equipment or a long extension lead.

Two options that could work in theory.
A) Insulated trolley tank filled with hot water via diesel or gas heater in van.
B) Electric water heater mounted on trolley, but you need to power it from mains voltage. Battery powered hot water is a no go.
But not really a good solution any of them in my opinion.

Thanks Nudel I was thinking along the lines of your solution B the electric heater. I was thinking of something that would heat water on demand only when needed.
I have seen these on ebay
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220V-2500W-Water-Heater-Element-Portable-Electric-Immersion-Boiler-Heating-Rod/173096459971?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649
These could be placed into 25ltr tank to heat when needed.

I wouldn't stick something like that in a thin walled plastic container. Was thinking more of something like this https://m.ebay.com/itm/3000W-Mini-220V-Instant-Electric-Tankless-Hot-Water-Heater-Sink-Tap-Faucet-X/112791015682?hash=item1a42de5102:m:mELRctSLnUzGUyBfd2qKnag&varId=413228236503
I bought one to preheat the water in my tank over night, but scrapped the project as I didn't want the work involving insulating the tank and what not. I'll end up buying a diesel heater if the money allows, and plan to use the little water heater to build myself a portable hot car wash unit.

That looks promising I will have to investigate that a bit.
Yes like you said I was a bit concerned about putting that other heater in the 25ltr tank.

Peter Fogwill used to make trolleys with heaters!
I don't know he's still in business, might be worth giving him a call?
