Title: Equipment Freezing
Post by: AquaMagic on March 02, 2006, 08:10:57 pm: Does anyone have a good solution for stopping my truckmount freezong up overnight in the van, bearing in mind there is a petrol tank in the back along with the machine itself, ive given the truckmount a "jacket" made out of an old duvet but dont think this will be sufficient.

Hope someone can help.

Many thanks

I fitted mind to the bulkhead and plug in every night, If you leave it fitted its no problem. Iv had no problem yet but I am thinking of putting in a bigger tube if the temp keeps going down below -4

Plumbed into your fuel tank with an auxilary battery for the glow pin. Duct heat to the cab aswell. Runs on a thermostat. Not cheap though - iro £800 fitted. You,ll never worry about any of your kit in the cold again.
