Want to know that too, last time I checked you were going with this ebay Propane heater?
-
Ok, I was going to get that heater on ebay but I'm using a camping stove instead now. I put it on a slab inside the van and it just keeps the temperature above freezing, not hot but nothing ever freezes with it like that. The way I put it in the van its impossible for it to fall over and it has a very low centre of gravity too. Its not a permanent solution but it will do for this winter, Luke

Mine was in the shed, and I had forgotten about it, but it works perfectly,Luke

Where do you lot live Antarctica.
-
Do you not have trouble with freezing NWH? I have only been caught out once and all the hose was frozen, Luke
-
get a fishermans heater real safe i think luke ran a topic on this about 10 days ago & a photo was shown of this heater .
-
I drive 18-20 miles to work every day with the heater full on pointed towards the pump and tank,but even when i first get in it`s no where near problem causing.When you start first thing in the morning make sure you keep the cold out by closing all the doors on the van,the only problem you might have is the pole hose,if i`m not using a pole i never leave it in the shade when cold or it will freeze,but the small hoses are easy to warm up.
-
Dave it wasn't me who posted about a fishermsn heater!! NWH, what van do you use because it must be well insulated because I drive a Peugeot Expert and it was frozen before I had been in it. But now its fine with the heater, Luke
-
Lwb connect,till next year.
-
what you getting next year? a transporter? luke
-
no luke you posted a topic about heating water or heating and it was in the replys mate where a photo was posted of the heater . the heater in the photo is good .
-
oh that post!!!!! :)
-
yes mate that post ;D
-
I just like the look of the trafic,the transporter looks to bland for me.
-
If the weather gets cold enough I use one of these

oooh that looks very nice. Is that one big enough for the whole van with RO mounted etc? Pumps etc don't freeze?
How is the smell? Is it easy to get rid of just by turning the blower up a notch?
What's parafine anyway? Is it easy to buy/cheap?
-
Also, how safe is it? I'm guessing it won't tip over, but what if.......?
-
wouldnt have a parafine heater in a small confined space. the fumes will make you sick and all sorts
-
Yeah, the trouble with parafin is all the fumes. Thats why I wouldnt use one,Luke
-
The fumes dont bother me as I only use it during the night , and I am not in the van then. Open the van window in the morning and the fumes are gone

Good, I bought the super one, should get it pretty soon.
How hot do they get? Any chance of the van going up in flames?
-
You can adjust how high you have it , it does get a bit hot but set it on low and you should not have any problems
-
Got the unit in today, now where can I buy paraffin? Is it called paraffin oil or something? Or is it called petroleum? Confused.
-
I get mine from my local hardware store, or some garages sell it . It comes in a 5lr container
