This has been an interesting project we was asked to heat a container to a set temp and keep it there over the cold winter nights and weekends. Easy enough except for no mains electricity out of work hours. And it needed the ability to run continuously for 60hours.
So we built a cupboard to hold an autoterm 8kw air heater controlled by the comfort controller. This is powered by 550ah of Agm battery’s. When the power is on there is a victron charger to recharge the battery’s ready for the following night. A 75lt marine fuel tank with remote gauge has been fitted. And we also mounted a 360w mono crystal solar panel along with a victron mppt. To help out over the weekend.

where did you hear the shipping container😂
A job one of the vans went to Monday we removed a heater that was a mix up of parts and still not working and replaced it with a webasto pro 90 and multi controller backed up with 3 years webasto warrenty. This was fitted onto a 1920 Dutch Bardge that was undergoing refit. So weather you have a Dutch Bardge narrow boat wide beam or camper van we can sort heating and hot hot water not a problem.
Job we went to as a non working heater. Fault traced to contaminated fuel. It was quickly determined that a tank open was required as it was beyond a fuel polish. Or maxhine tank clean
all the contaminated fuel was removed and we then manually scrubbed the tank clean. A service hatch was sealed and bolted down. Fresh fuel fitted and heater system was primed with fresh fuel and was back into service.

I am looking into getting a heater and noticed most people have these under the drivers seat, my leisure battery is under my front seat so where would this go?
Busy day yesterday one of our service vans was in London on the canal network on a narrow boat replacing an old dangerous installed heater we fitted an autoterm flow heater with comfort controller to bss spec
If you have any marine heating needs we are happy to help
One of our vans was in London today on the canal network we went to a narrow boat that had broken down partially to contaminated fuel. We set about taking a fuel sample then set our equipment up the fuel is passed thro a magnet filter then through a 1 micron filter then a pair of water filters and then back into the tank under a jet. By passing the fuel Through we are removing diesel bug water and metal contamination. This clean took just over 3hours to carry out.
So if your in kent/London and are suffering contaminated fuel diesel bug we can help be it a narrow boat widebeam or bit of plant machinery
One of our mobile service vans was busy at a trade customer of ours. One camper van had a 160w solar panel with a victron mppt controller. And the second van had a pair of 160w solar panels fitted again with a victron mppt controller

Last week one of our service vans was up in rugby fitting a 4kw autoterm air diesel heater to this loverly Viking 28 to make the boat more useable in the winter. As the boat is on petrol outboard engine we fitted a 33lt marine fuel take with deck fuel filler and tank vent. In stainless steel. A stainless steel sling fitting was fitted for the exhaust.
The heater was located in a rear storage compartment and one vent fitted in a lower stair way and one vent in the middle of the boat. The heater is installed to pass bss inspections required by inland waterways

Something bit different we was asked to increase the external lighting both front and rear with we fitted a pair of light pods to the front and a light bar into the front bumper. At the rear a light bar was fitted to the top of the tailgate. As the customer does a lot of outside activities he wanted a stereo and speakers independently from the cars factory fit. We also added 240v and usb sockets powered of a 1500w inverter 220 amp of agm battery and an victron orion b2b charger
One of our mobile service vans was busy today looking after a trade customer of ours. A 160w flex solar panel with a victron mppt controller was fitted to a transit custom camper van poptop.

Job from yesterday 2kw autoterm air heater fitted into what will be a mobile barbers van. We fitted a pair of 200ah gel battery’s feeding a 2kw victron inverter. The van charges the battery’s via a victron b2b charger. When on mains hook up there is a victron 240-12v charger fitted.
We can help power and heat any mobile applications you may have.
Yesterday we fitted a 2kw autoterm air heater into a loverly contessa 32 the main priority was to not lose any locker space to the heater so we managed to tuck it right up out the away and run a single outlet into the main cockpit
One of this weeks jobs was to remove a faulty eberspacher d5swc and replace it with a webasto ttevo with digital controller.
We had to squish rob into the hole to gain access to the heaters 😂
