Hi all
We have a 2013 model Autoquest 115 and had been thinking of trading it in for a later model but have decided that we will keep it - the newer 115’s have nothing really different to what our van had as standard or we have had fitted ourselves (solar, cruise control, outside shower)…EXCEPT the newer 115's have water tank heaters..
We haven’t really used the van over winter and when we have generally keep the tanks empty as we are on EHU on sites. This is okay except we are planning for next year and are thinking of going away over Christmas/new year up around the north coast of Scotland and wildcamping.
This will mean that we will have to have water in the tanks for showering, toilet and washing (we carry drinking water separately)
I have seen a place that sells tank heated blankets (https://www.tankblanket.co.uk) and am thinking that I might get some to install as a summer project!
Has anyone retro-fitted these or normal tank heaters, is it worth it, or am I just being over cautious and should I just fill the tanks, and get on with wild camping!
Any advice/help appreciated….
Richard
