heaters

I had a propex installed 1 month ago because as you mentioned if you have'nt got a self sufficiant source of heat your tied to camp sites and you trips are governed by their seasonal openning times! Also you miss out on a lot of the meetings shows etc! I'm sure ebbers are great as wel but my thinking was I already have to use gas for cooker/fridge so why carry extra diesel/petrol? I have a room thermo stat which is toast if you want or set it to keep the chill off! My propex was £136 off ebay!

How much are they new and what kind of a job is it to fit them?

[kevtherev]

Well new propex is around £350 - £400

simple to fit as it comes with all the kit to make it work

all you have to do is find a suitable place and cut out a couple of 40mm holes (inlet + exhaust) in the floor

well fritz has got first dibs on the one im selling it but he wants to see it first and do a field test/run up on it so you can all see it runing at bus types, the reason its so cheap compaird to others is so you have money spare to get it so it dont smoke at all!!!

Kathy, it's just horses for courses. They both get warm and are both thermostatically controlled ... I'm sure you'll be able to see (and feel) both Ebers and Propex at Bus Types.

WE have a diesel Eber ... BUT I get free 'Ribena' from work, so it's exceptionally cheap to run Disco's refillable LPG tank set-up sounds like the way forward with a Propex though.

Cheers,Ian.
