Hi - I've got a Kamper with the same cupboards and having spent yesterday in her, I'm thinking Propex might be a good idea!

Any info you've got would be warmly appreciated especially which model, the supplier/fitter, where it vents and how much it costs to get the heater and installation.

And if you've got any pics of it installed that would be brill!

OK here we go....

This is how it was fitted:

These were tidied and secure on completion.

The model we have is HS2000 http://www.propexheatsource.co.uk/air-heaters.php

It was fitted by Lawrence Mortimer - who is propex approved for the northeast. Email: leisuretechnortheast@hotmail.co.uk

In total the heater cost £417.69, I only chose one outlet (they are £48.98 each) and installation was £120 plus VAT on that. So not cheap. Am sure the lovely people on here are now sucking air in through their teeth and digestives fall in cups of tea! Don't you just hate talk of money????

Hello possible you have been on yer trip if you have do hope it was a good one if not we have an early Propex
all good for us >> if you have a petrol van consider LPG conversion and have a leisure tank fitted never run
out of gas when you fill up with gas for the engine side it tops the leisure tank up there you go. :ok

Was this pic after he had finished? It's just that the gas supply pipe appears to be unsupported above the tap. Good practice would be to have the pipe clipped to the wall rather than being permitted to vibrate, work harden then fracture.
