Put an in inline filter after the tank.After the heater use hose going to the reel that is okay with heat such as car heater hose.

We are not allowed to give advice on this subject for obvious reasons.


The L5 can be a bit of a numptie.In very low temps, when the gas pressure is low, when the tank is nearly empty, the numptie can become a complete idiot, as mentioned above.

Lots are very happy with them and i expect you will be.Forget the door thing.

Thanks for the info, just been reading the old 17 page post on L5's from 2008 :o, so hopfully it will all go ok, if not it was only about £120 and I can always use it when I go camping ;D

Nat's got holes in his van a bit like a swiss cheese.I work with the door/doors open.



Assuming you have a bulk head, and assuming you are no where near the well ventilated van during operation i do not believe there are any carbon monoxide issues.
