Van heating

What does everyone use?
Last weekend I used a fan heater from hook up power,twas noisy at night.
Am thinking of using a small oil filled radiator next time.

We use a small oil filled radiator when on hookup but we also have a propex heater fitted

We have a Propex, but it's noisy if left on at night so we don't. The power of a duvet under you is great!

How on earth do you manage with two german sheperds in your van as we have one and he takes up a lot of floor space.

Where do the shepherds leave their flock?

On the subject of heating I want to run the propex from the same bottle that I currently use to run my fridge and hobs. They are already plumbed in and a gas hose goes from the bottle regulator to the isolator then to the appliances via copper piping.

Is there a propane gas regulator that has two outlets or would I have to connect a T or Y piece to a standard regulator using a short gas hose?

just take a point on the existing copper pipe after the regulator that's convenient and branch off to propex with copper too.
Fitting an isolator on that pipe branch is a requirement.

The isolator is just for the fridge and is in an inconvenient location for the propex feed.

What I was planning to do was run copper piping from the propex into the gas bottle locker then fit an isolator to the end of it. From the isolator I would then run a rubber gas hose to the propane bottle.

I was just wondering if there was such a thing as a twin outlet propane regulator but it looks like I will have to use a t-piece to split the bottle outlet

I think so yes

Cheers Kev. The sooner I get it fitted the less random questions I will have
