hey Roy you say the inlet is blocked off yeh? Will water come out of it if it wasnt blocked? If it does come out maybe you could pipe off it with a tap and use it to fill a trad bucket with hot?

I blocked it off with speed fit end stop, so no water will come out. And I use one off the out lets to the trolleys to fill the bucket.

But it could be available if needed.

I'm doing more revamps of my van, but its so dam cold out there.

Very clever mate, really good idea. I like it. Just a thought tho, turning the heater off would give you cold water? So do you need a cold feed?


The thing is as soon as the heater senses a water draw off it automaticly lights.

have you noticed though roy that the only way to turn the heater off is to turn the gas off? got to say ive only found one fault so far and i dont think its really a fault more of a user error. seems much better than the L5 as the temp is more controlable.

Yes I noticed that, That's one reason I set a tap like I did.

How are you finding the heater compared to the L5?

much better, it seems to heat up quicker and also gets hotter upon demand, it just seems a better piece of kit, i have only used them side by side for 3 days though, fitting my new van out over the next week i hope so i want ot fit the fogwash a bit better as i now have the vent as well

Although it looks very good Roy, I really hope there is a much simpler way of connecting it all up, All those fitting look a nightmare for a DIY hater like me, I was hoping for hozelock push fitting off cold feed hose and a hose with a hozelock connector each end from hot outlet to the reel, Please say there is a simpler way than all that  ???
