Just be careful no kids tamper with it while your round the back of a property!!

So you dont always need a flu then? Thats what put me off fitting one I have a berlingo pretty much the same as a partner van.
-
You can get a flu jab in Tescos if it helps.
-
The only problem not having an external flue is that the inside of your van will be running with condensation and it will steam up the cab, even with a bulkhead.
-
we have one on a transit on the bloke head next to the sliding door, it vents out perfect and doesnt steam cab up

If he's happy to sit with it like that then all well and good to him. I'd say its dangerous though, or even maybe illegal.

I haven't got mine flued as when I'm using hot I keep the back door open.
Propane fumes are heavier than air so no risk there.
Co2-not sure tbh. I've got an OE bulkhead and my heater is near the back and I've never felt any adverse reactions at all.
Only problem ive had is that the boiler uses the flue for 'draw' on the flame so sometimes it shuts off. Not very often though.
That is just my experience.

he knows he right hes a plumber for fleck ;D
-
mine is right at the back and i always work with tail lift open as reals are fixed inside
i also leave my drivers side window open a bit so it doesn`t steam up.
-
Never mind about it not looking pretty, lpg is a very low lying gas with this in mind if not flued you would need the air to be constantly moving in back of van, i would get it flued think about it would you have a boiler in your house not flued but say its ok because when its being used im behind a closed door gas gets everywhere.
FLUE FLUE FLUE!

the lad selling that van bought a tank of me and he was saying he sells heaters and flues and even fits them for you if needed i burned my last heater out but will ring him up when iam ready for new one and get it all fitted right

im getting the impression a flue is better...but not necessary ???

i would say its necessary for safety reasons alone.
in a caravan do they have a flu kit on the heater.
Sadly I can see someone dying trying to cut corners or following information that's incorrect (not aimed at you are bob)
I read on hear the other day someone trying to bypass the safety cut out.
The best person to ask about gas is a gas safe certified plumber IMO

Do you know one that has a certificate on gas installations in vans?
-
If you find your closest caravan shop they'll point you in the right direction.
If you're anywhere near Grantham I can give you details of the guy here.

If you're going to run the heater with your van doors closed and you're going to sit in it whilst its on then get a flue. If you're going to use it as its intended and you mentioned, i.e in a semi open air scenario then you won't need a seperate flue.
-
i think what i will do is install as mentioned and if i die i will fit a flue
