  • where did you get the old water tanks?. i dont know really where to start looking for one. id like to add a batch heater to my 5th wheel. even propane is getting expensive.

  • @MaxpotHead i use a community site called freecycle. I get on there and ask for non-working water heaters. as long as they don't leak.

  • I've stripped four tanks now (all were fine, one minor link up top on one) and that blown in insulation foam is a pain in the ass xD ... nice upload, thanks^^

  • @cantecleer  yes, the blown-in stuff is horrid. How did you remove yours?

  • @mostangrypirate --- lol, with a whole lot of scraping and elbow grease. Then, when the worst of it is removed, a wire brush/sandpaper. I even took a screw driver and chiseled/scrapped it off when I got really frustrated, but I wouldn't suggest this (possibly the source of the small leak, not "link," that I mentioned before). I wish I had a better solution. I imagine they are out there. I was just empathizing with you because after four of 'em, it gets old real fast =D

  • Great! 

  • Hello,...I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the mention on your video. also thank you to.. "evadnosliw". I'm glad I inspired you guys to build a solar heater. I've had mine now coming on two years, and it works great. This is one project that you'll be proud of, and it keeps giving everyday. I enjoy watching everyone's videos and look forward to see your video of the finished heater. Great Job. Todd / Backyardsolar

  • Really informative vid. Great to see others getting into it. Look forward to seeing how the project turns out. I think there are a number of people out there that owe a debt of gratitude to Mr. Backyardsolar ... i too have built one using his ideas and have now been running on solar heated water for 2 weeks. Great stuff! Hope you don't mind attached vid.

  • I'm so proud of you for doing this for us. I can't wait to get it hooked up and functioning....Scald me, baby!! xoxo
