Doing this on behalf of another member , check it out , read the gubbins , sellers location , feedack , anything really , then give your opinion , good or bad , do you have one from the seller ?

WOULD YOU BUY IT ?

EBAY item no ...181037579248

NO.

I had the 6L version & the ignition box melted - I was lucky it didn't catch fire! They look good but the quality is dismal.

Cheers again Nat , just the answer i was looking for !
 
Dean , hope you see this first reply , Nat is the man with the know how on entry level lpg heating , from what i recall he got the L5 to many members on here including me , its a great little unit if not tampered with , i have had mine for 3 winters now and no probs , im sure Nat has moved on and up from it (dont quote me ) but i think its your best bet , CORWOODS are doing it uk based , with more chance for you as the buyer to rectify any probs that might arise , unless of course Nat can point you in a different direction .

I am just glad that i have maybe just saved you £95.99   ;D

Regards Rich

Yes I would and have. Believe its the same as Pryors has fitted in all his vans and he likes them. I have heard of problems with these and l5's!! They are the same as Reach2cleans system that they sell for £199

Richard Clues- I take it the one from Wayfair has no way to fit a flue. How do you use it? Do you have to hang it off teh back door to stop the fumes accumulating in the van?

i would pay a little extra and if anything goes wrong take it back to a shop/location in the uk were you may have more protection and less language problems

No, but I've been looking at that one and emailed
The company in the us to see if they will post
It to England.
Fingers  crossed they will

Looks like a decent system

Water heaters are all I can see when I shut my eyes !  :P

L5 dont come with a flue and you wont find one that will have one, if you wanted to pay a little more then its bigger brother comes with a flue the L10, but not sure on sizes or anything about it.

this is waht i did so the doors can be left open but locked,

Cheers Richard but it's not for me that

Think I will try an cobble one together with
An old palomo hood or something
U don't fancy the L10 one due to start up pressure

no problem,

didnt look into the L10 much, just saw it about when i was looking into the L5 and new it had a flue.

are you looking for one that you have to cut into the roof or are you trying to avoid that?
