Hi Brett instead of stealing Sneezy's thread I thought I would bring this over here.
That heater tap has an ECU will it only run with the Vintage Air unit or could I just ditch the ECU and run an open or closed switch on the water tap.
Looks good value and might solve some problems but maybe need to simplify it :roll: :lol: :lol:

Yes Vintage Air has a thermostat controller. The other one looks just to be on/ off so may be a better bet. I suspect you can run the VA unit without the fancy stuff as an on/off but probably better buying the cheaper one if you go that way. Either way there are a few options out there on the web for electric taps.

That's what they are for :thumbsup: the tray in my ute hasn't been completely empty in years ......
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.
