Why do these systems cost so much, from around £2500 to £3800 + VAT?

Why is a small heater unit so expensive?

When you can DIY a gas system for around £300, either there is a huge mark up or these heaters should have a lifetime guarantee.

The whole thing is completely over priced if you look at the likes of brotex etc to keep these people in a job, but regardless of my thoughts on that they are of a good qaulity however I would be more inclined to a DIY setup.

There cheap at that price,and you can`t count the other option there not made for WC.

I may well got hot on next van fit (not soon!).

Waterfed Pole Systems in Grantham are the cheapest fitted system I have seen so far - advertised around £1700 + Vat for a retro fit. Still seems expensive for a simple heater, though a little more realistic.

I`ve spent double on holidays and they don`t earn you anything.

my concern from a business point of view if someone crashes into your van with the 10k thermopure written off your out of business, not unless you have a spare 10k but of course the qaulity is very good.

If I spent that much on hot water, I would personally feel very ripped off.

3K as a business investment is nothing,your investing 3K and getting real advantages using hot water.Don`t doubt hot water until you`ve used it it`s far better than cold and that`s a fact not an opinion,i`m sure the cold water users will knock this post but they ain`t used hot have they.

It's expensive & I would assume a huge mark up. The good thing though, is that there seems to be much more up & coming competition from suppliers for hot systems, which should result in more realistic prices to come.  

NWH, most of your "facts" have turned out to be "oppinions" so far, so the jury's out on this one just yet for me! FACT!
