Same as mine, runs on lpg and if you put on winter and turn the flow and heat numptys to max I can assure you the water is too hot to touch.
Keep on the summer setting and turn heat/flow settings down it is a great heater.

I don't think you are supposed to run it on LPG if it is designed for natural gas, one of the gasses requires a larger injector, and if you run it on the wrong gas then they could overheat due to too much as LPG burns hotter.

Makes it a bargain then.
£60 for something that will do the same job as one that costs 3 times that!

It is a flueless one,so no flue. Just leave back door open.
It does cut out after 20 mins, never found this a problem though.

Oright mate how much does it cost roughly a week?
And i might order one then because i have a lwb primastar and a bulkhead in so the gases shouldnt be an issue

surely if it cuts out every 20 mins then your going to be doing a lot of trips back to the van to restart it?

How many jobs do you have of 20 mins constant running?
If is dead ended,ie turn the tap off,the boiler cuts out. Open the tap and it fires up again.
I have a 6kg bottle in mine,if using every day in winter it will last about a week. If you can get a bigger bottle in thats a better option.

So to restart the boiler all you do is switch your hose tap off then on again ie no trips to the van?

Thats right,it cant run constant for 20 mins. If it it is deadended that is the same as switching it off.

Just been reading ad, looks pretty good. Was especially impressed by number 7 in the description of 'technical features',

"Magnificent thin shaped appearance, it is designed by modern fashionable line shape"!!!.
 
Not really sure what this means, or in what way it is technical?. But I would have to assume this is a direct translation from the (Chinese?) brochure?.

Good for you.
6kg lpg costs about £16-17 from go outdoors. Bigger bottles work out more cost effective in gas.
