    Thanks, so we have a 17 foot pop top with a 100ah battery inside, the 5kw would be overkill I'm thinking and possibly a 2kw or 3 would be ok?

    I think you are better with a smaller unit run faster to avoid carbon issues
    I have a 45 foot motor home with a 5 kw unit that is really a little small hence it gets run flat out
    Motor homes are problematic due to air flow issues I think a 3 kw over 17 feet would be ideal depending upon the insulation

    Agree with djam1 - while mine is a 5KW unit, it is too big and if I did it again, I'd get a 3KW unit. My van is a 19' Viscount from the early 70's and I will never need to runit anywhere near to flat out.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    Alan Whiting from Outback Travel fitted a $340 heater to his campervan.

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    Sounds like an easy install once placement of unit and exhaust are sorted.
