just been reading about this combined water and air heater from Truma which is advertised as 'Ideal for small to medium-sized motor homes'.

Thought it was a good idea as its just the one small unit.

good luck with everything.

I think i'll have to look into the truma heaters if it's right they dont need a hole cutting into the body - i want to do as little chopping as i can get away with :lol:

for the water storage tanks, i looked at the location (for mine its opposite the fuel tank) and i'll get the biggest i can fit in which will be around 70 litres i think.
for the waste tank i'll be fitting it behind the offside rear wheel and it will be alot smaller 45litres ish, if you do a lot of camping where you stay for a while on camp sites then you need a larger waste tank as it saves the hassle of moving the van to empty it, as you cant really dump it on your pitch, but if you move around a lot like i do then you can get away with a small tank, or if you do a lot of wild camping then you can drop it as you move around :D

what layout are you going for Dave :?: have you got any drawings plans :D

Chuck a wood burner in, all round heat, free if u got a forest close by.

Cost ya brand new couple hundred or hundred if u get it from ebay, all ya gotta do is cut a spot on hole in ya roof.

Excellent place to buy all sorts of gear that you will need.

Do not skimp on ventilation - lack of it can be a killer.
