Unless you have an especially large hot water tank in your house, I doubt you would manage to fill your van tank. Mind you, you wouldn't need to fill it with hot water, that would have you cracking all your customers windows!, just warm enough to keep from freezing. Might work I suppose. Try it and let everyone know how it goes.

Don't need a big tank of hot water I've got a combi boiler.
Just depends on cost, would it be be cheaper than running an l5 all day or having the immersion on for a few hours before work?

Yeh been doing it the last few winters .if your di only it is the simplest way to stop your gear freezing .i only need to do it about a dozen times a year when it drops below -2 .i keep it really simple . Pump , hose and pole removed from the van the night before . Takes 5 minutes .fit back in the same . Leave the tank to fill with hot takes half an hour with a combi boiler .the water stays warm enough all day so no gear freezes.keep it simple,

Once when I was doing a run of conny/gutter cleans. I filled the 400L (as it was) with hot (40 degrees) tap water and took the backpack with a couple of 25L barrels of pure to finish off any windows. Another time when I was doing "that building clean" in Summer of 2012.
I've got a hot tap outside that runs from the combi bolier.
