Problem is i'm not wanting to fit it. How much would one of you guys charge me to fit it in my van if i supplied all the bits. I run a Tucker.

No problem mate give me your email and we`ll sort something out,i have got my step dad to custom make me a unit for houseing the gas and i`ve rigged up the unit on the back door it`s perfect.Like isay using hot water has so many advantages but i can`t beleive how much easier it cleans and drys even on cold days,you have to make sure you get the right hoses and fittings to make it work hassel freee.I have heard some say that you lose a lot of heat when using normal hose but i lose no heat at all,it`s to hot to use when it`s not even on full heat.

Ive just got back from the gas shop and B&Q getting the bits for mine. I have the L10 and all 3 fittings on the bottom are 1/2 NPT.
Gas is easy. Take one of the fittings supplied in the bag and take it and the supplied regulator to yopu local gas supplier. They will change the regulator on the pipe for you.

Next go to B&Q: In the plumbing section they have brass 3/4 to 1/2 reducing bushes, get 2. Then also in the plumbing section they have 1/2" tails for hose union, get 2.
Roll of PTFE tape.
2x 'D' Batteries
2x Jubilee clips for 1/2" hose

Thats it. Screw the reducing bush onto the water inlet using some PTFE tape. Then screw the tail union on to the reducer again using PTFE tape.

Repaet the same for the outlet.

If you want to use hoselock fittings you can get all the above in plastic from the gardening section.

Cost should be about £4 for the brass fittings way and £10 for the hoselock method including a couple of quick connectors.

If you get stuck ........SHOUT  ;D

I`ve been hot for 2 weeks,Ian give me a call i`m going out now but i`ll give you my number later at about 10.20 when i come in.Once you try hot water you will never ever ever go back to cold,it`s like comparing ladders to WFP.

http://www.goenergysystems.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=l5

Thats where I got mine from  ;) Thing is, I went to my local Calor gas shop today and they have 2 units there, I dont know if they would be suitable instead of the L5. They dont appear to have the capacity of the L10

Well the 5L is 5 litres/min
and the 10L is 10litres/min
