wiggs, truma do External/Marine tubing which is Black in colour rather than the cream coloured internal stuff.

I gave up on a hot air heater as the distance from heater to tent would be too long.

now have a woodburner that I have had upto 413 degrees C.. Thumbs Up

Any links dunc?

I did a couple of tests today .. Put a 2 meter length of 2.5 inch exhaust pipe from the eberspacher it was still 60 degrees at the end ( 65 at the eberspacher).

Pretty good considering it's not lagged at all. The 2 meters was long enough to go from the front to the back of the trailer . Proberly another meter or so needed to get up to the tent.

Lees bringing round his ducting tomorrow ( about 3.5 m ), so will see what temp readings that gives

Been fitting the eberspacher in the trailer for some nice warm air for the tent an awning .

Had to use this mounting plate as my floor is 18mm thick and the pipes on the eber are only about 20mm



easier to do this



Eber in place



Fuel tank



I spent a couple of hours wiring it all in , then found i wasent happy with it ....so did it all again Sad . Bit limited to what i could do as i dont want to cut the loom for the heater





Timer...i have also connected in a remote control Thumbs Up ...dont want to have to get up in the night to go and turn it on



More to come when i do the pipework

bit more done on the heater

Fuel pipe fitted



fuel pump ...under the lagging



back of trailer up to the roof tent







I just have to put a bit of flexi into the tent





I have a cap that fits on the end of the pipe up to the tent , so i can isolate that part if need be.

Here is a waterproof box that will split the main hot air supply up to the tent and out to the awning







then this little bit of pipe will fit in there and go off to the awning when i need it .( will have some flexible tubing attached to it )



Not fitted to the trailer yet as its peeing down ..job for tommorow


Oh and another 12v socket fitted so its handy for the light connection into the tent .

I just showed the kids and my eldest just said "Cool" she's a hardy camper and appreciates the idea of a heated tent.

I can't believe you're still finding things to do.
