The guy has one of those yank M/H like Jon & Kays.
Yank?? She spent 15 years where she was born in USA, since been in Australia for 20 years. If she was a NZealander she would have citizenship by now

haha .... I like it!! [LIKE]
Maybe we're off topic?
There are so many of those imported MH's around. One just halfway into Mannum from the Marina.
Where do they come from Dot?
Bruce I gather they are a couple but she lives past Glenelg way and he is north of the city and they get together here and there ?? Seemed nice people.

This is probably a bit late for you Dot, but it may help others who are thinking of getting into a diesel heater. A friend moored in our bay today. Boarded their boat and was amazed at how warm it was inside, they had a Dickinson antarctica diesel heater and in their boat it was 25deg.
Uses about 5lt-24hrs on low, can also heat your water, runs on diesel, kero, used veggie oil and stove oil. I thought the smell was from his auxiliary engine, he has 100lt of used oil for it and tops up in just about everywhere they go ashore. So for any who are interested in this type of heater, here's a link.

The price alone would keep you warm

Needs a 3 inch exhaust! and must be mounted where there is plenty of fresh air. CO comes to mind..... Crickey

My friends one is very clean-burning, they have Co2 and carbon monoxide alarms and because it gets so hot, they always have the hatch open. They have lots of hot water which they say has changed their lives and going to put one in their bus when they stop cruising this year.
WIth any heater, you need fresh air circulation and it looks really nice in their saloon. They used to have a small potbelly stove but collecting and storing wood was a problem for them, this fits nicely in the boat and they are using 3 inch exhaust pipe which is much cheaper than the standard stove pipe they say.
