Our bullfinch wasn't---- must be different ones??
I always found it worked well having a regulator on the bottle----- but it does mean different regulators for different countries.

If the bullfinch is connected to the pipes in the Rv then it’s regulated

Deasel heater like 5KW cost about 400£ with 10L tank, it will heat up 29 foto rv at 30 degr non stop for about 3 days, battery used from golf car properly charged and pluged on to roof panel will get you going for a long time.
Lpg Thanks need to be register and maintain every 3-5 y cost of installation is big becouse lpg need to be installed by licenced work shop and deasel you can fit by yourself. 10L deasel tank will not do big problem and 120L gas liquid will do.
I vote for deasel
Thanx

You can fit your own lpg systems in leisure vehicles, you can also legally install and service gas equipment in your own home.
adding a lpg tank and plumbing it in is not difficult, and no need to to worry about installing a heater, and finding somewhere to run the exhaust, we have decided to stick with lpg.

I’m sticking with Lpg heater as the savings against fitting diesel heater don’t make sense. No need to move bus to refill Lpg as extend a stay is great. We carry a small bottle that lasts a week even in winter. One solar panel or generator .. never a problem unless you want to live in a lay by for months in the winter. Batteries last easily one night if cold

I used to work for Gritish Bas a few years ago, carrying out electrical inspections in commercial premises, and yes, that was no different, its just with elektrikery when it goes bang, that's normally it, a fuse fails and its all over, when a gas appliance or pipe goes, that's just the start,
A storage business called us out to find out why a breaker kept knocking off, first thing to check is the power drawn through it, a 40A breaker had a steady current flow of 87a on a 6mm cable, well there's ya problem, what are you running ? erm nothing, so went for a walk around the site, they had small businesses working out of the storage rooms, mid winter, there were computers galore, but where each person was working there were oil fill rads, fan heaters and convector heaters, no wonder there is 87 amps going through the circuit
