Sounds a bit daft but you reckon it's worth doing the roof as well ? After all, heat rises

with the greatest respect to all alternetive  hot water systems,  i have a heat wave with a built in frost stat  ,i know they are alot more expensive than cheaper versions (lp5 heaters)  but the heat wave is alot less hassle, plumbed in to your fuel tank (no dangerous gas bottles) ext exhaust system comes from underneath the van (small tube) .all i do is take poles out then put frost stat on at night (no heaters ,boarding,insulation etc etc. JOB DONE .Some people just dont like the heatwave the only reason i can think of is that they wont pay the money £2300 it costs .money well spent in my opinon ,i have had mine 3 year now paid for itself over and over.

You can use any building insulation - I use Celotex 50mm only on my trailer system and and polystyrene and loft insulation on my van system behind plywood.
It's a game of three halves!

Do you have it serviced each year? How much does this cost and it is easy to find somewhere local to have it done?

These systems that plumb into your own fuel supply-would it not be more cost effective to have a small tank put in so that you can run them on red diesel..?

Not quite sure how a hot system pays for itself over and over again  ???

I have a fogwash - haven't needed to use it much this year. It hasn't earned me any money at all. It might allow me to work in colder temperatures for the couple of really bad weeks we sometimes get. Won't help me to drive on the ice unfortunately or through a foot of snow. I see it as a luxury - not a necessity.

If you run your system on red diesel any warranty will be null and void

Because the red diesel can come out of any OLD tank and have some 'foreign bodies' in it
