A question I’d like to know also.......... is it going to sap your power from your batteries keep kicking in and starting throughout the night? Or potentially does it kick in, then It generates so much heat in 20 minutes or so that it wouldn’t need to kick in again during the night. Guess time will tell daz. My finger is hovering over the “send” button on my email to Oliver to arrange the system, so any info I can gather beforehand the better.
I stick to my electric heater on frost setting. In the dead of night the burner starting up does draw attention with noise. I'm not saying it's loud, but does seem to magnify in the dead of night. Go for it Jonny. Take a gulp of whisky and hit the send button. You won't look back.

so.......ive made sure my frost stat is on and my hose is connected(return to tank)......its forecast to get down to -2 here overnight so it will kick in...it just seems weird not to be putting a heater in my van overnight! do you guys use the frost stat or do you turn it off and put a heater in there?......this is new to me...but i think it defeats the object of getting one of these heaters if you dont use it to its full capacity.
I picked my van earlier after Grippa fitted my unit. Sounds like a 747 once the burner is up and running Peter ran your van over earlier didn't he Daz?
I was picked up by a taxi company paid for by Grippa when the heater was finished. He said how conscientious Oliver is as a businessman. Thats the impression Ive got since doing business with them. He's a great guy and has time for whatever you need to discuss to get it clear.Great company.

When I had an Isothermal 1 from Pure Freedom my experience was that it ate batteries. My preference now is to use cold as it makes life much simpler for me.
PF installed it with 2x 85amp batteries which clearly was not enough. I did think they would have been more professional as they get good feedback on this forum.You are the only poster I know who runs their system on 2x 200amp batteries. This seems a good idea, but is not how they are set up by professional installers, who normally seem to fit 2x 110amp batteries.Needless to say I would not use PF again.
