HOw much is the propane and who much do you go through?

[dazmond]

£400 for a heater that you might only use for 4 weeks of the year!!sorry but im not getting one!!then you have to buy propane for it?

oil filled radiators DO WORK!!ive had mine on overnight a few times when its been sub zero.van toasty and warm in the morning with no frozen pumps,water etc.also you dont have to defrost the windscreen!!

[Sean Dyer]

I think with your van daz its a bit easier as its a smaller space

My tank and gear survived last night , left heater on 12-7

HOwever it wasnt hot in the back by any means , any colder and i think stuff wouldve froze anyway

And it wasnt that bad here last night -3 maybe at most

BUt i to am a bit put off by £400

Could get decent hot set up for that , with a fogwash or similar

[carl stanton]

even cheaper, send the wife in there when she goes on one!

plenty of hot air there!! 

 (dead man walking here, it was nice knowing you all)

(looks ove shoulder to see if she is looking)

I'm going to get one for my Son's van, what are they like to fit Gav?

[dazmond]

sean leave it on  the full setting 9pm until 10 mins before you go to work.with a 2000w rad it should be nice and toasty.probably cost you £2 a night but worth it if it gets you out for 4-5 hours today!!



best wishes

My gear was freezing up night before last in not much below 0

Although it had been cold all day so i think that didnt help and water level was quite low as hadnt filled

Last night with rad it was ok

Not hot but not frozen , which is what counts , and i think last night was cooler than the previous

roy im no diy er m8 but i fitted it easy enuf m8
honestly i look it it like this
if i only earned £100 a day n i lost 4 days
as gear was frozen or worse like last year
i lost 2 11l di s
then iv lost 400
by payin 400 i avent lost any money
n gear is safe
also its tax deductable

Sorry to hijack the thread but i couldnt recomend and immersion heater more, and for a franction of the price of one of these heaters gav, keeps van warm, reels and pump frost free and the water is warm coming thru pole, i cleaned my van at 4 o clock today and it was still warm to touch. Can get an immersion for less than £30, and cost of running about £1.50 a night.

Did you install yourself?

Was building a camper last year and looked at webasto heaters, but gave up on the idea as it involved tapping diesel tank.
