really simple way to warm your water while on the move . buy a car invetor for around £40 from maplins buy a tea urn and remove the element drill a hole through your tank lid  and fit the element . fill your tank back up and plug in to invetor . takes around 45 minutes to warm 300 ltrs of water . seen this working today and was impreesed .

Your tds meter usually has a temp setting on it, why dont you give it a reading, or is it on a friends system? Luke

You can buy these elements to heat static water,they go through the lid of the tank to about half way down.About £250 + vat i`ll try and scroll through my favorites to find it.

They suck a lot of leccy. Need a SERIOUS inverter.

Also, if you spill water on your inverter or any of the 240V electrics....


....BOOM!

Interesting idea though.

I am thinking that your engine in the van will be working overtime to power the inverter ???

its not my system luke its one i seen being used at sheffield today . the lad who was using it says around 45 minutes to get the water up to a nice temp but thats for 300 ltrs of water . so if you have a bigger tank then it will require extra time . but i must say with all the post of freezing its a real good cheap soulotion and one that i myself will be doing .

Its not the tank water that freezes though, its the water in the pipes and hoses. only a heater in your van can cure that! Luke

when you put the warm water through your hose it will clear it . and as the tank warms this will the create heat in you van witch will allso help . simple but effective .

A heater in the van will not solve your problems,you need hot hoses and to get that and have control over the temp of the water,a retro hot water system or one that`s fitted as standard is what you need.

I agree, when I go hot I'm going to get a retro heater and replace my microbore with hot stuff, luke
