propex location

Post by matty o »

just got hold of a heatsource 2000 and looking for places to mount it dont what to use under the r&r bed as thats used for storage and the vents would be wrong as the dogs sleep there.
found the space behind the passage's seat and the buddy seat but if it goes there it will be on its side and upside down have tested it and it works in this position but on the propex website it says not to mount it vertically or upside down.
any one done this and had any problems if so any other ideas

Stuck our under the bed and got a Y piece and teed offwith a hi level vent as well, used the caravan vent which rotate and close so worked well, ducting was flexible from Olearies but easy to get .We also have a dog that spends time in the van so works well

will post u a picky later tonight, it depends on your interior, I put a low leve; one in but you could fit a duct at the top of the bed base/facia, how big is dog?
Like I say it depends on your layout, mine is mounted transversly with outlet facing off side and ducting run through the cuboard base.

These are a few quid from caravan type spares places, you know the usual spots. they fit up to 15mm thick boards and rotate as well as close completely, Im thinking you could close the bottom so mutley dont cook and have the top open we didnt insulate the flexi ducting and have had no probs or noticable loss of heat.

i fitted ours in the bottom of the kitchen cupboard and put a shelf in higher to regain the storage space.
