We are with the pro-hot water brigade. Didn’t use ours for the first few months but now would not be without it. We are year round campers and it is a boon not having to trudge to the sinks with washing up in winter.

Wow it feels really strange reading something that I posted in my original forum membership in summer 2017.

I'm sorry Ben that I don't know the answer to your post but I'm sure someone will.

However I do need to say that we are no longer in the position that we took in 2017. My dear wife Kath has now persuaded me that I was wrong yet again and that having the joint gas/electric boiler and 30 litre on board water tank is actually essential.

We now have it on wherever we go on site, especially if it is cold outside. It might be that we are older and wiser but Kath likes to have the ready hot water to have a quick face wash and also to wash up after a brew. In fact we quite often wash up in the van after meals, particularly after using the Ramoska.

I think it is a bit anti-social not going to the washing up room and wittering on mindlessly to anyone who is prepared to listen but there we go. Also I am tight and only ever use the electric heater.

What happened to Soulbluesman 1-67 ?

Our Triton came fitted with the 10L gas/electric Truma. We generally don't bother with the hot water but it works pretty well if we do. The only issue with it is the silly position of the switches which are on the side of the bed base just where the back of your legs are so it is very easy to turn it on by mistake The electric part doesn't have an indicator light so not easy to see at a glance if it is on. We never turn on the gas tap so it just shows a red error light if the gas switch is on, but the electric will fire up. It does trip out eventually if there is no water but still gets hot which is a nuisance and does risk causing damage. I am considering a cover for the switches.

Hi Colin

Could you let me know who fitted your Propex elec water heater and 30L tank?

Thanks

Our 530 was 3 years old when we bought it and it had an electric water heater. Could we do without it? - probably - but it costs nothing to run on EHU and 10 minutes after the flick of a switch it saves boiling a kettle to wash up, have a wash or shave. The Eriba shower is too small but having hot water means I can avoid the sinks in the facility block and having to walk to the washing up facility to find it's busy or when it's pouring with rain.

We have a Truma electric heater and it uses the external aqua roll for its water. Requires EHU. We use it all the time. We took a punt on it when we bought a new Eriba a few years ago, along with the electric heating element for the gas radiator. We were unsure If we would use either. With a few years under our belts now, really glad we went for both mods. Especially in Autumn, winter and early spring.
