I can't believe no ones mentioned it yet? 😂😂

Front protection system ot heaters in the van? Or do you just put a box set on and think sod this. 😂

Oil filled radiator in van next to my hose reel overnight

Broom and ice melt grit for customers that want me to grit their driveway/path.

That's it. Business as usual.

Are you not using the frost protection system on your hot water system?

Frost protection on PF heater only protects heater, not the rest of your kit in van.

Not on the Grippatank hot water setup. It works a treat for me. It circulates hot water through the hoses and back to the tank. When water temp drops to 2 degrees it kicks in for 5 mins.

Keeps everything fully defrosted.

What even all your water fed poles, brushes and pole hose? greenhouse heater on the right setting keeps EVERYTHING in the back of the van from freezing

The hose real acts as a radiator for ages after a circulation. It was designed for that reason.

After 8 years of using this method I can confirm it works well.

I tried a greenhouse heater the other night. My gear was frost free but the roof of the van was frozen. I don't think it's as good as an oil filled radiator.

Inside of the roof or outside? Inside of my van roof has never been wet, plumbing in my van is very good, no leaks, rarely any leaks/water in my van.

I defrosted the whole car within a minute!
I think that's a slight exaggeration!

Which oil filled radiator is suitable . 500 watt , 1500 or 2000. Never used one before . So no idea . I presume you just leave it on a low setting all night ?

I would go for a mid range one with a sensitive thermostat on it .

Or a fan heater.

The sensitive thermostat is the important thing.

Also a timer.

I have a pure freedom ro van mounted system,I made a box to push on front of system,put a duvet Ofer system and box and then put a 500w oil filled rad in box on a low setting,hose reel goes in garage,pole goes in cab so can warm up on way to first job,that’s worked for me for 16 winters,when it’s really cold I have to use a hair dryer on external pump port to make sure I’ve got flowing water when I leave for first job

No I don't use it because I don't like disturbing neighbours with it as it will fire up 3 or 4 times on a cold night. It's loud in the middle of the night...

I've had neighbours knocking on my door at 3am before now thinking there was something wrong with my van!🤣🤣

Oooh interesting. I know what you mean.
