LPG Gas water heaters

Postby csrbd » Thu Jan 26, 2012 11:37 am

Happy Australia day to all.
I want to install a instantaneous lpg gas hot water service to provide hot water for shower and sink in my bus.Has anyone got any tips or recommendations please.
I saw these on ebay,http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/10-Litre-Instant-LPG-Stainless-Steel-Gas-Water-Heater-Caravan-Shed-4wd-Cabin-/160723004408?pt=Caravan_Parts_Accessories&hash=item256bd66bf8
I'm not sure whether or not they are totally compliant for Aus market.
Thanks
Chris

Have you had a look at the ones they fit to motorhomes and caravans these days ???
You will pay more for them but you have the option to run them on gas,mains or battery via inverter.
The unit is not instant and stores water in a small tank which I can say from experience is plenty
for a shower for 2 people on one heatup for the tank. they can be switches to auto to keep the tank hot.
We would heat up in morning on one heat cycle and have hot water all day and if your in a caravan park
heat up on their electricity.
Usually takes about 5 min to heat up via gas and much slower off mains/ battery/inverter while
you drive is slightly slower again.

Here is one but not the one Im thinking off ,cant find it as yet.

This is it the Suburban hot water heater.
Be careful some are only electric , gas or both.
