Hi Guys
I have a 1989 Talbot express rambler 2.0 petrol. I am needing a new water heater (~6lt/min) for it to heat my shower and provide hot water for my sink. But this is turning out more difficult than expected. For reasons stated below.
1. all the water heaters I can find on the market are all open flue (so they state are only suitable for static caravans) Im not too sure why they only work in static and not moving as combustion emissions inside regardless of the vessel they are in, are emissions inside. but this type is not suitable for my van.
2. I have found the odd 'room sealed' water heater from Morco, but this is not only £500 but require a fitting kit (an additional £100) and a horizontal flue (therefore will need to cut more holes in the van) just to have a lpg water heater.
My van has a very simple gas input, cold water inlet and warm water outlet system. Does anyone know of a room sealed water heater for cheaper than £600 for a small 2.0 van??? I have done some research and am I not hitting the mark anymore? If im correct, never vans tend to have electric water heaters in, if so should I be considering one of those, even though I want to travel off grid, with only a leisure battery no mains.
Any help would be really appreciated. Ive been water heater lesss for over 4 months no and winters not a great time for that to be the case haha
