I just had to reply to this story about Gas, I have been caravanning since 1964 and I started out with 2 Wee blue bottles which fitted onto a bracket on the A frame of the van, as the years went on we had many vans and the bottlels were inside the locker at the front of the van,and as we were...

Paws, thanks for your reply you are probably right because I now know that I didnt have the pipes lagged as well as they should be, so I am going to start again I have sent for a roll of Aluminium tape and I will spend a bit more time to try and lag the pipes properly, in a caravan this might...

Paws, thanks for getting back to me, think we are talking about different things, this trace is only for keeping the pipes from freezing and no way would it heat the water allan
