If you sit on the edge of the tent, at the top of the steps, does the trailer not want to tip backwards Question

I have an eberspacher hot air heater to fit in the sankey .It generates about 65 degrees c of heat from the unit . Eberpacher / webasto hose is about £12 a meter and is basicaly tin foil and paper , not very robust .

Any one got any ideas what hose would be suitible . It needs to be 60mm inside dia .

I have a couple of options as to were to run the hose , but the eberspacher stuff is not great for outdoor as its far to flimsy .

Sounds the same as caravan stuff have you had a look on the carver website Or truma some caravan manufactures run the pipe outside in a plastic pipe eg drain pipe.

yeh looked at truma ...same shi*ty thin tubing though ...alright for inside , not man enough for outside though .

Good thinking about putting it in a drain pipe Thumbs Up ...although i dont think i have a straight run , so bends may be an issue
