Excuse my ignorance (as usual...!)

...but isn't the leisure battery only used to spark the propane when you first light it?

Or am I completely misunderstanding how propane heaters work?

No they have to run a fan to blow the hot air

Hi I agree with thread 22. In our last 4 mohos we had the fire heater as shown. Warmed up quick. Could be used without fan saving leisure battery Ideal for wet clothes hanging in front/ above. To dry. Never had it on long. Soon warmed up Moho. Never rated the diesel heater Noisy/ fan used to much battery. But then everyone to there own preferences. Brian. Ps. Now starting to like the alde heating.

in my last van i had a webasto which went wrong , so i put in a Morco , very similar to the Carver . found it got the van warm in the same amount of time, then turned it down to pilot which kept us nice and cosy . totally silent too . fixed the webasto and flogged it with no regrets . main problem with them is they need a hole in the floor about 250x125mm for the balanced flue ,and they're quite large . the advantage of the Propex is you can get it in very small spaces and no messing with the diesel tank

Yeah,
I’ve got a similar one,,,

[n brown]

what's up with it ?

 

[Nesting Zombie]

Nothing at all, Working Fine, Been Serviced last year when I had the Habitation Check done.
I just don’t like it
I’m ‘Seriously’ contemplating getting rid of my Alde System (See OTHER Thread) as it although it works absolutely fine on 230v Heating Water & The 2 Radiators, it doesn’t work on gas, & it might only take £50 to fix, Or might be £250 !.
& with my luck at the moment i just want Reliability

 

[n brown]

well don't get rid , you might want to re-fit it after you've had a propex or webby for a while

I'll have to put up with ticking but save money on 65mm pipe

but save money on 65mm pipe

There are cheap options available - rainwater downpipe is about right if you can put a straight bit in, of I had some flexible duct that is covered in fiberglass insulation and foil off ebay. Meant for growing weed lol. I think I have some in the shed still if you're interested?
