Hi mate, quick question, do you vent your L5 heater, if not has the wind ever blew the pilot light out with your van doors open?
-
He doesn’t have an L5 he has an L10.
I asked him that Tripster, he reckoned no.
-
I've found L5's do blow out in the least bit of wind,
That was another reason why I thought they were crap compared to a Fastar 8L LPG heater i use now.
-
I used an L5 for 5 or 6 years and I think it blew out twice.. just turn your flow off and on and it will start up again.
-
Do you have it mounted on an open back door or inside yer van as makes a big difference wind wise to were you put them?

Trippy, pretty sure Franky has a heater he doesn't use.

yeah I know but he told me it's a piece of rubbish

They are ;D
If you can get the flow rate spot on then they can be ok but they tend to fluctuate a bit.
They don't have a pilot light as such, they fire up on demand. Some have a cut out and also a co2 cut out if it builds up.

Yes both doors are always left fully open.
