This system has only been up and running for a month, before it was a cold system.

cheers.

Hi Matt, its a gaslow refillable LPG, the same as David Slaters.

The heaters are L5s from USA.

thats one hell of a system!800 lts?thats a fair bit of weight in the back!

i guess 800 lts will do 2 of you all day?

do you use all 800 lts on your own some days(big commercial jobs)?
price higher/work harder!

The L5 heater is currently undergoing the certification process for the CE mark,... and John has taken my suggestions onboard & by next winter (all going to plan) be supplying a version of the heater specifically for WFP with a UK gas regulator in the box, and the heater factory modified to run consistently at a 1lpm flow rate. :)

Hi Daz, only use 800ltr a couple of days a month. ( 2 people )

On average about 600 ltr a day.

The payload is 1200kg, so when tanks full the weight had 120kg to spare, took it to weighbridge
first day that I fitted system.

cheers.

Hi everyone, just a general moan first about the poor and ill informed replies on this thread.

I was very surprised that brad had beaten me to the punch on this, and all credit to him because he's done a great job.

I was interested in nathaneals comments, the issue being a flow rate of 1litre pm, instead of two.This is the reason i have one heater supplying two reels instead of one for each and also the reason mine is a rinnai eu54.

Comparing brads system with mine he has spreadout flat tanks which give a very low centre of gravity, which is good. Mine is a lot higher but gives a very large amount of clear floor space in the van.

He has two heaters so is able to push as opposed to suck the water through, which tends to give fewer faults.

On my van three stage ladders (broken two bits, and one bit) fit in the roof.

My reels exit the side doors while his exit the rear.I believe mine is better here because i have the option of a third reel and pump at the back door.

My system also has bypass returns which is also an advantage.

Brad's system is sprinkled with a lot of clever ideas and i'd give him ten out of ten.

Just read ste m's reply and i agree.


Cheers Clive
