Now these are more like it,,Yes (Thanks to Channa also)
So you run them on Kerosene Heating oil ?. Are they TRULY minimal smell & efficient ?. Automatic & Safe as the advertiser suggests ?.

What in Both of your views are the BAD points about this heater ?.

I'm seriously tempted !.

Do you want to sell yours lol lol.

Bad points?
expensive to buy.
you get a whif of kero when start and when u switch off cant smell anything when running.
very safe will shut down if u knock it ,if it overheats.or if the air is bad .
costs me about seven quid a week in winter to run it hard at about 38p a litre ish at moment and its instant heat.
like said wont be suitable for camper ,to hot , you would have to take fuel cannister out on the move or it would slosh everywhere.
would never sell mine lol, best and cheapest heating ive ever run..jon
 
When i got mine i did try it on an inverter in my van and as seadogjon says it was too hot as when you first switch it on it goes to full output for the first 20 minutes then goes off or lowers the fan and flame to a minimum. Would never sell mine as we use it every winter and use paraffin extra from caldo in it so it works out cheaper than the tozane fuel. No smell when up and running but a puff of smoke at startup and shut down.

Thanks Guys,,,It's BRILLIANT to be able to actually 'Chat' to others that use products that we may be interested in.
Ok, I have been on the Web site, & looked at the smaller 5006 3.1kw max model.
So -
I understand that it's Cool to the touch on it's Side / Back walls !, Yes ?.
Understanding that a Puff or two on Start n Stop happens. No worries.
Can run on Domestic Heating Kerosene or Parafin !, Yes ?. Or what else & what's cheapest ?.
Runs on eco setting for around 8-10 hrs a Lt !, Yes ?.
Now then,,,The Fule tank !, is this not sealed ?. if say half full would it spill out if I went over a bump or around a corner ?.
I actually have a PERFECT place to site it, Metal Base, & perfect external clean air supply, with High level Roof vent above. (Think Disused area the size of a Shower Cubicle with No Door).
(TBH I would ofcourse prefer to empty it anyway when traveling).
I am this close to ordering !.

Take no notice of fuel consumption claims depends how cold it is ,
yes ive run on heating kero for about 4 years
mine doesnt like being moved around to much just picking up out the way for hoover it sometimes splutters abit gotta take burner nozle out and blow it through ,seems to get a bit of an airlock ,only a five minute job ,
also my lass put hers in the boot to lend her son and there was kero every where ,,forgot to take tank out..
and i always switch it off before i move it

you would probably need to empty the fixed fuel tank as well before driving ,,bit of a pain,

the fuel tank u just fill turn upside and drop it in
gotta say as much as i love these heaters i would NOT put one in camper..jon
 
This is my fuel tank it is self sealing so can be taken out moved and stored. 20161026_164751.jpg

Some BRILLIANT user posts there, Thanks Guys.


As it's the intention of using it in The Nest (My Livaboard Motorhome).I think this is maybe NOT a good option.
I did earmark a small miniature Multifuel stove for the available space, but Had to explore Liquid fueled heaters.

God I miss my Taylor Diesel fed Heater,,,but they are just SO blinking expensive !!!
Love love love them !

I love the Taylors heaters as well.

I always think that They are a bit 'retro' looking though and probably better suited (aesthetically) in the cabin of a classic boat rather than a modern motorhome.

I agree, I actually installed the same model in my last 4 Boats that I lived on (79D).
Loved them.
 
not sure about the condensation but shouldn't be to much of a problem especially in a modern motorhome with the proper ventilation etc, we have actually used a bog standard table top bio ethanol fire from B&Q before in the van didn't notice much at all, ours would never heat the place properly but in an emergency it takes the chill off, I would imagine these Origo's would be much better they also do various cooking hobs as well. each burner unit is supposed to be 2kw
 
Thanks Fulltimer,
Yeah I have seen those in various catalogs over the years myself from my Boating days, I actually forgot about these !.
Don't know what they look like inside, or how they work though, will check compatible Fuel types & LPH. It looks like a very simple Base & Lid affair doesn't it. & as you say, you can cook on it if you had to !

Yeah worth thinking about !.
Anyone actually got one of these ?.

They are basically spirit burners you can use Meths but I prefer bio ethanol seems to burn cleaner , they are very simple to use you fill up the base which is full of a fire retardant wool type stuff you can even hold it upside down when full and it won't spill, there is a flap which slides over the hole to adjust the flame etc, there are some reviews over on youtube, bio ethanol is also very safe to store.

Hey,,,They seem very Good,,Safe & Easy.
I'm impressed !.
So how long will say a Ltr of Ethanol last burning on say a low heat ?. (Using it as a backup heater ).
How much is Ethanol to buy ?.

From memory the origo burns for around 4.5 hours flat out on one fill which is 1.2 litre.
as for prices it's been a while since I bought any which was at my local B&Q, here's a rough idea though worth trawling the net but obviously a local supplier will save a lot of postage costs
Bioethanol Fuel - Collect
