Re: Hot water
Nini & Wayne,
If it is a home made one I'd suggest they used a domestic heating element in it.
See if you can have a very close look on the element where it's inserted into the tank & you may see stamped into it what Watts it is.
Some have a cover over it that you may need to remove first. Turn off the power first of course!!
How is it wired into the bus? Separate fuse/breaker? Do the wires to the heater plug into a power socket or are they direct wired into the fuse?
Try that first & let us know how you get on.
