yes but not complet
you still need other bits
heat exchange etc
looked at the other 5 kw on there at £1433.50p
why so much differance
I looked at the one from pure freedom, looks  a lot of work has gone in to it
compare the prices on  Www.mellorautoelectrial.co.uk  diy or buy complet

Getting a box of bits is one thing.
Getting the rest of the bits and putting it together is another thing.
I agree with laddersnomore.

erberspacher also do diesel fueled water heaters. Some bargains can be picked up on the German ebay from time to time.

Thats correct, however the heater is mounted in the rear of the van and ducted to the cab, its a simple job to turn the pipe to heat the the back of the van.
I imagine with the right equipment it could be converted to run a hot water system, although personaly I cant imagine why anyone would want a hot water system! I think they are an over priced gadget with very little worth.
