Lads-followed this post closely-one question

Could I incorporate a fogwash with a pre freedom 650 van mount? How would I do it

Ta, Steve

Yes.
The heater is simple to connect up. It has 3 connectors on the bottom - gas, cold water inlet and hot water outlet. Usual setup would be to cut the hose between the pump and the outlet manifold or hose reel and couple the heater there. So the out of the pump becomes the cold supply to the heater and the hot from the heater goes to the hose reel.
The way I understand it is that Roy has coupled his system up the same way but then splits his hose after the heater to 2 hose reels. So really the answer is that 1 pump requires 1 heater.

I'm not sure if you could couple the pump after the heater and this way one could run 2 pumps from 1 heater. The down side is that you couldn't heat the water up too much as the pumps won't handle very hot water (Shurflo = 77degrees max.)

Roy has a couple of pictures from a previous post that are very helpful.

We have both back doors open and the heat vapour his hot and exits up out of the back of van, we have also a  carbon monoxide detector in the front of van and it shows nothing.

What's the insurance situation carrying these heaters? And employee liability if they are using them?
It's a game of three halves!
