Title: Hot water Retrofit
Post by: Kev R on May 26, 2008, 06:56:05 pm
I am considering retrofitting a heater unit to my existing van mount.

 I am not interested in the DIY route for Health and safety and also insurance reasons. Also if it breaks I would like to get it repaired simply ( I am not a gas fitter etc)

Have any of you retrofitted units? who from? do you use them? and what are the costs involved?

Thank you  ;)

You could try asking any caravan/motorhome  dealer for a pro-fit

I'm not sure but as long as the heater is fitted after the pump so as not to damage it there should be no problems.
There was a topic on this recently.

Absolutely or you could ask a corgi/accredited gas installer and ask for a certifficate

It's not something that you can repair (lpg heater). If you have problems you buy another one (£300).

There are no insurance issues. There are no corgi issues.

However you are entitled to think what you like.

I have one from Omnipole. £2500+VAT. 1day to fit in London by Omnipole. I use mine quite regularly on new jobs and difficult cleans. Water heats to 60 degrees on demand and has a safety cut out device if it gets too hot. It's diesel and average running costs are similar to Ionics version.
Kev R, you're welcome to have a look when we next bump into each other.
