Thanks for that Bob

I thought that may be the case.
I got a price back from this bloke in Dubai; $75.00 US for a 12Volt 600watt unit delivered to my door, works out to around $71.50 Oz.

I am happy enough with the price & will let members know how it goes when I get the build done.

What I am doing is adding a 12 volt element to my 240 Volt Rheem water heater & utilising the spare inlet/outlet fittings on the tank to attach an external heating chamber made from 2" SS pipe & plumbed to fit.

I have a caravan on my property down south & to heat the water @ 250 volt I have to run 200 metres of extension lead from the power box to the van, real pain!!

Cheers
Barry
I need to learn from the mistakes of others.
I dont have the time to make them all myself.
