I've used the 12v versions - they are just about OK for a brew of coffee, but desperately slow - by the time the cup of coffee is made you already want to be off & driving again. I went back to making a flask of boiling water and taking that instead.

I suppose the 24v may be quicker - dunno ...

[mccfluff]

thats what i was wondering about, not much point if you have to wait 10 mins or so!

[sunny-dave]

10 mins was an optimistic estimate for the 12v version - and remember that is 'per cup' ...

[sunny-dave]

... unless you have a passenger with asbestos goolies who can be persuaded to boil your mugful whilst you are driving ...

When I was on the road Mc, I used a small camping stove, it cost around £40 it included the stove / stand / cartridge / 2 pans that all went into each other when putting away, it was handy for soups etc. I think they where selling this Water heater at Carlisle Truck stop when I was on the road, they did not sell very well.

[mccfluff]

did you buy the 24v one or the 12v one?

- TWR, fatty currently has that but keeps running out of gas cartridges then i have to listen to the moaning about how he hasn;t been able to have a cup of coffee all day etc, so i thought for the sake of a fiver if they are any good i might just get one

Macc, they run on Meth spirit, they are a good purchase I assure you, I'll come back to you in a few mins, I'll find the correct name.

Hi, this is more or less the same as I had & it's good, just check this out Mcc, I'm sure the OH will be pleased with it,When I sold mine I had near enough what I paid for it, it was in VGC.
