Propex heater

Post by kentishvanman »

Hi,
Does anyone out there have a set of installation instructions for a Propex 2000 that they can let me have a look at.
I would like a few more details before I purchase so that I can choose where I position it in my 1987 Autosleeper.
Thanks
Don

i have not got the instructions but they go something like this;

drill two holes in the floor, poke your heater exhaust/inlet pipes through and connect them to the heater, fix heater to the floor, add gas and power away you go!


is there anything you need to know specifically?

Having an autosleeper means you have a good choice of position.

there's bottom left of the sink.. or bottom right of the sink, and there is also under the bed

the Propex requires an inlet and an outlet.
The outlet is generally through the floor as is the inlet

Propex heater

Post by kentishvanman »

Thanks for your help guys.
I am trying to work out where to put the Propex when I have the van LPG'd. That's after I decide where to have the LPG tank, in seat box or in wardrobe.
If I have the lpg tank in wardrobe then propex can go where existing gas bottles are, I think. Have to convince the wife though that we don,t need to hang clothes up.
If lpg tank goes in seat box then seat box will have to move forwards and then have doubts as to whether the loo will fit in the cupd.
Like James idea of purpose made box. What route does the gas supply pipe take.

My LPG tank is under the seat and the Bog still fits in the cupboard

when autosleeper fitted mine it was placed bottom left

you can just see it next to the fridge... it sits in it's own box too
