I installed 2 into the back of my van this time last year. Winter was so mild that we didn't get to use them last year though.

Did you run them on mains power? I'm thinking 1 120watt tubular heater will be just enough to prevent hose and tank freezing?

1kw aquarium heater is what i use to heat 300ltrs of water in shed overnight ,  120watt would not warm a glass of water .
