paraffin or diesel water heater

[mr toad]

Does any one know of a diesel or paraffin water heater. I am looking for a heater for about 20 litres of hot water at a time. I dont particularily want to part with £1000 for anythinh like a eberspacher. I have thought about an immersion heater because I have a solar water heater panel to fit (small one). Just after ideas for hot water when fire is out.

Have you thought about using the engine heat for all the heating that you will need?

Do you have gas onboard and are you on shore power? If so how about either a gas hot water heater or an electric immersion heater fitted in a domestic hot water tank (or both?) I think you can get away without the extra expense of a calorifier since you don't have a water cooled engine.

 

If you have neither then I suppose you could connect your solar water panel to an immersion heater & tank, but I would imagine it would be slow and weather dependant.

Thanks for reply, I already have a morco 61b. They are good but I do not want a boiler mounted to the wall. I looked at the alde compact but they are a bit expensive.
