You're going to be nice and toasty now without worrying about the gas. They do warm up really quickly. We had ours on again this morning as it's been a bit chilly again now.

Really looking forward to putting it through its paces! Loved our diesel heater in the MH and missed it in Merlin. Means our LPG will last a lot longer too. Thanks both ❤️😊🚐

Thanks Shaun. We do quite a bit to Merlin ourselves as you know. But this heater seemed a step too far. We wanted the job to be done safely and with a warranty. We also wanted a decent heater that is self cleaning. Big decision but we are currently sat in Merlin feeling very toasty 😉. Thanks for watching. 😊👍

Really interesting and the space they fitted it seems to be one of the only areas with other stuff not in the way. I had thought of using the existing ducts but was worried about back feed into the Whale heater and if that would cause any issues - looks like you’ve got the solution there and there must not be a worry. Enjoyed watching - thank you - the view out of the Travel Lodge wasn’t bad, also didn’t know you could take dogs too. All the best, David (and Rachel) 👍❤️

I have anemia, so am cold most of time, having said that, we had a new boiler fitted recently and I haven't turned the heating on it so it's basically just used for heating the water up lol.

Hi Graham, I have the 2000w version of your Inverter, it’s been on my boat for getting on 2 years and has been brilliant, beside the fans kicking in a few times I don’t even know it’s there. Also I’d love a Webasto set up on the boat ( the version that heats water) so I can stop using my coal stove but they are so expensive, smokeless coal is now a ridiculous price and it must be cheaper to burn diesel… great video again! 👍🏻
@Wizardinthewild

Hi. Thanks for watching. Hoping to put the Webasto through its paces in Scotland. Loved the one we had in our motorhome. They certainly are expensive to buy, even if you install them yourself. It was quite a big decision for us to go ahead with it. If LPG was easier to find, I doubt we would have done it. Ours doesn’t do water though just heat. Safe travels 🚐⛴️😊

Interesting stuff, I’ve always wondered what would happen with the heat from the new heater back feeding into the existing one? I guess they know what they’re doing but that would concern me. I’m the new van we’re having diesel/230v no gas at all to heat only cook

Nothing wrong with curiosity. Tested it last night. The main unit gets touchably warm. But the end connected to the ducting gets a bit too warm to touch comfortably. It actually heats the van more quickly than LPG. Warm air comes out in a minute or two. Only 2KW as well. Impressed so far. Noise level similar to using LPG maybe a tiny bit louder. 😊👍
