Almost, upon leak checking I have a tiny leak from the most unreachable of the compression fittings... I am going to have to whip it out and tighten it up a tad... :banghead:

Brad - I can appreciate using a water container in a modern house. But is a Land Rover really that water tight?!? :laugh:

Dan - sounds like a good solution. Assuming I get mine working I suspect will use a gas system. SWMBO is demanding heat! Still not started restoring the rest yet.....

All complete now, everything gas tight and hunky dory... In addition I have installed a gas alarm into the locker in case of propane leaks and have a carbon monoxide detector in the main cab. It takes just a few minutes to get up to 20 degrees in the cab and the thermostat cuts it in and out as required... Looking forward to using it in some bad weather!!
