Ok once I get home I will, by the way it's not a flue kit rather than just a single skinned flue linner and what looks like some kind of diffuser

I've never had any problems with Peter, I bought some Auto brushes from him and some bits and pieces here and there.
The poor bloke got flooded out one year too so he has my sympathy. Where would we be without him!!!

Peter Fogwill invented the fogwash? It's straight out of China, and people have been using L5's for ages.

I think this hits the nail on the head. I got into wfp thru Peter and his trolley system in 2005. I tried the autobrush which grew out of patchy reliability of the on/off remote pump switch.

I still use the RO he supplied with an extra added membrane.

But frankly - I outgrew his homely helpful oops I've got too much work on try later I'm busy style.

He has good ideas and if you are self sufficient you can make use of them.
It's a game of three halves!

To be fair to Peter I think he has done quite a lot for the community. But the business and website screams DIY.
Still I am very happy with my hotwash, it arrived quickly too. :)

I too have sent emails which don't get answered, if they do it's a very long time. But that's ages ago, I have never bought anything off him except the hotwash. I don't think I will buy anything else off him, without being nasty, I don't think it's a proper business, more something that is done on the side. That's what it comes over like to me. There are many shops out there who are gold standard.

It's the flue kit that fits on the heater.  I have now had only one complaint about the price of the flue kit and there must be over 100 of them out there.

BTW I have been quite hard to get a hold of in the past but for the last 3 months there has been someone full time in the workshop so the phone has always been answered.  Maybe not personally by me but by someone who can help, surely the phone doesn't have to be answered by the business owner?

Yes normally I am in bed by 12 last night my wife was at a relatives and I was waiting on her coming in. Since I had a few hours to spare I thought I would see what's happening here.

You could really do with having some proper information on your site about the Fogwash Peter.

People do generally rate it, but going by peoples posts the Flue kit you supply is deemed to be poor and people like to source a better quality vent elsewhere.

I thought it was person not people, has anyone else mentioned it?
The flue kit is made for the heater, and it is an optional extra.  If people are complaining and have options then they can buy the option.  I would look at it if I was aware of complaints, so far I know of 1 in around 100, and after talking to the chap on the phone I am not so sure it is a complaint. It would be good to hear from him if it still is? Is there any more? Anyone?

I will likely get a Fogwash for my next van. The only regular complaint I have seen about it on different forums is that the cowl supplied is substandard and it would be easier for you to supply it with a better quality cowl than for people to have to source this independently.

Otherwise it gets good reviews.

To be honest the cowl is not really meant to be used as a vent.  The cowl is in the box and I leave it there just in case anyone has a use for it.  The flue is there as an optional extra for people to direct the fumes to where they want them to go, whether it is to the back door, or up to a proper vent in the van.  I did however modify a cowl to use as a vent in someone's van, it was not very professional as it was welded to a metal plate, which in turn screwed on over a hole in the van roof.  It worked well and the unprofessional ness was not seen on the van roof.  Now there is no way I am going to make them available to get slaughtered on here, until I can make them a lot better looking. I will though when I get the time.

If Reach2Clean are selling a cowl for their heater which looks like an off the shelf part, then why reinvent the wheel by making your own?
