You can also circulate the water instead of heating the van.

If you use a speed controller at a very slow speed,it should prevent your hose and pump freezing up.A good 24ah battery should last at least 12 hours.

best prep for winter is start working weekends once we hit autumn
put the money away and sit it out comfortably if it gets bad


works for me ;)

Going to get one before winter gets here the HS2000 is the one i'm looking at its better on gas than the HS2800.

I think The Facelift pro van heater is the propex HS2000 rebranded might be wrong though :-\ :-\

Thanks Paul

You can all take the pee but i would rather do work on my van in the warm weather than waiting for winter to get here and freezing my nutt off doing it in rain and snow  ;) ;)

there is not many things i do differently in winter apart from sticking an oil filled radiator in the back of my van to stop pumps/hoses freezing.

i also take grit and a sweeping brush for wet pathways that might freeze and an extra flask of hot water in case my jets freeze.THATS IT!!

nice and simple and cheap.no problems,no worries.

also make sure you have an emergency fund built up that you can dip into if need be just in case the weather is that bad that you cant get out at all.
