Think it might be a bit cramped in mine. I'd prefer my local club for a boxing session.

On a serious note though, no. I just put a fan heater in there overnight for the really cold spells. Tried insulating the pipes with lagging but very awkward trying to get 100% covered.

I have said this many times before. The only thing you need to stop anything freezing inside the van is a truck heater. £3-400 on ebay. Expensive maybe but cheap to run and will work at temps well below freezing.

Daz - where you are all you need is tubular greenhouse heater. Fix to strengthening bar inside roof of van. Only about 60 Watts of energy so same as leaving a light on. Enough heat to keep above freezing. Run an electric reel to van but make sure has power breaker. Take advice from a sparky if necessary.

Hope this helps.

Oh & they are about £20ish

Yes. A 400L flat baffled tank. Never frozen. I used 10mm plywood with 2" polystyrene foam on the sides and loft insulation on the top wedged between the tank and the plywood.

I just bought an electric frost watcher heater similar to this.

Turn the stat down to it's lowest and it cuts in and out all night as needed. You've only got to keep the temp above freezing, and with a bit of insulation as well it works fine.

And at 400 watts its not gonna cost the earth to run.

I got one of them for me garage last spring in B&Q for about £4 in the sale, alright for keeping it from freezing
