No, they need the vehicle at their workshop for two days to do that. Ill take it up there later in the year. They'll only need it for one day then if its already got the cold water system in.

Take it you are going for a diesel heater?

I had the Isothermal 1 from Purefreedom a couple of years ago and found it disappointing.

1. Water does not stay that hot - Isothermal 2 (9kw) would be better, also I use 8mm hose, guess using a 6mm hose would help as water would not cool so much getting to brush.

2. It eats batteries. IMO need 2 110amp batteries solely for the heater. (Purefreedom set it up with 2 85amp batteries which also run the wfp pump).

Not sure how similar their heater is but just forewarning you.

Be interested to know how you get on with the Grippamax system.

It is the diesel heater.

I intend to do a little review of GrippaMax whilst they are here. I'll take some pics, speak to the guys and possibly do a little video of the days proceedings. So all in all a nice little thread for guys to have a look at and how a system is fitted and put together etc.

I saw the video Lee Burbidge did interviewing a guy who had their system.

He was pleased but suffered with the pump drawing air from time to time. He did something to get over this and reduce downtime. I wonder if venting the tank would help? My tank is vented and I have never had this problem.

This pic of a brand new clean van really turns me on!

I take it that it came ply lined? I ask because im thinking of buying a ply lining kit for my Dispatch.
WE CLEAN BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT WITH WATER FED POLE WHEN WORKING AT HEIGHT.

The ply lining was an extra freebie from Ford. Part of the negotiations.  ;D
