Hi,
The water heater has totally cracked and is unusable, meaning we have no running water in our caravan. It is a 220v/660w ELGENA 'DRUCKLOSER KLEINBOILER'. It is proving difficult to find a replacement in the UK, despite contacting several breakers. Does anyone have any ideas please?

A pic of the offending water heater may help - is it a wall heater or a under seat one?

It's an under-the-seat one, quite small. If I can work out how to post a picture I will do!

Thanks

Best starting point to post a pic is to upload one in your profile gallery.

depending on the space available under the seat it may be possible to fit a Truma, Propex Malaga, a Henry (all available new) or the old faithful Carver Cascade (only second hand) or would this be the one you are looking for?

Thanks both for your replies. I have uploaded a picture to the gallery and sent Gary an email.
RC- that Elgena one does look very similar- maybe the mdern version of our old one?- so may be worth checking out, Many thanks.
