The only reason i asked why is that if you have a cold water set up your plastic fittings may not be good enough to put hot water through thats all but hey go give it at try

Shouldn`t be a problem with static water,that heater has an element similar to a kettle it goes in through the lid of your static tank.You would have to check the pump though,i think the shurflo is ok up to70 degrees some pumps are not designed to work with hot water.

but how will I produce hot water onboard? would it be better to heat the tank or just water as it passes through a pipe to the brush? Luke

If you was to insulate your van tank after putting water in from a static it would stay hot-warm.

wont it crack the glass?

Crack the glass are you crazy,

you'd have to be pouring boiling hot water on the frozen glass, that only happens on old old old garage windows because they dont have heating, and when your water is boiling, i dont think you will be able to get it from a tank through some hose up a pipe, through the air, and onto the glass, with it still being hot.

you may want to see if your tank will hold hot water first, when water is heated it has a bigger volume do to thermal expansion(the tank you have may fill to the brim if it does you are asking for trouble) .
