Hi , Im looking at getting an lpg boiler for my van system .

Im after recomendations as to what boiler to buy and what other bits i need , regulator etc .

Thank you .

hi robert i use an ecotemp L10 from corwoods(it comes with gas regulator).a  13kg gas bottle and car radiator hose from hot outlet to reel.

IMO the L10 is much better(and bigger!)than an L5 and ive had no problems with pressure building up and blowing connectors/hoses etc.

i  leave one back door open when in use(its fitted just inside the back of the van).

just make sure you have a good sturdy all metal reel and good tight connectors and hoses that can handle the hot water.

when changing gas bottles always spray new connections with a soapy solution then turn the gas on.if you see any bubbles appear DO NOT USE!refit the connector until no bubbles are present and then your good to go.

ive got the l5 its bin brill so far only niggle is if its windy the pilot light can blow out and be for u no it u have cold water coming out then u turn water off with univalve turn back on again it will then refire up with hot water i now think about were i park my van so the wind dont blow in the back of van apart from that im very happy a 13kilo gas bottol lasts me 3 weeks

Probably better to use leak detector spray
"oil based solutions, or those containing fatty acids, can ignite if they come in contact with oxygen.  For this reason soapy water or washing up liquid must not be used"

Robert, I've got the crowds one but used it 2 winter's ago and not used it since.
I'm not going to use it this winter and then i'm getting a whole new motor and system and gonna put an immersion in the new one.
This Corwoods one is sat in my garage loft.
It's in pretty good nick.
You're welcome to it if you want it.
You'll need the propane bottle for it though as i use that on my BBQ
Let me know if you do.

All the best, Darren

Pole King is a top man , he is going to send me his old l5 to try 

Dazmond , did you just jubilee clip the radiator hose in place ? 

I have the proloc metal reel so that should be fine .
