Thanks.

Put in by GCHQ (or Microsoft) to listen to everything you say in the caravan?

Its an Alde Continuous hot water flow boiler I think

That’s an expensive bit of kit. We visited the Alde Factory last year and they were launching this then. Basically, as long as you have a continuous supply of cold water, you can have a continuous supply of hot water.

Not sure I would want to loose so much storage space, that is already at a premium. 🤔

To store what? all my cupboard on my Vigo is empty I had no intention of amassing a lot of unnecessary junk (90kg ) like I used to do on my previous caravan.

I think you have a Bessacarr, that is a Alde flow which gives continuous hot water, we have it in our 525. We never had a problem with running out of hot water in our last van and I think the money could have been spent on much better extra's.

You are lucky !!!!  but I am talking about the base unit storage where the Alde systems are located I never mentioned  cupboards  

As we use our van for more than 4 weeks at a time in the year we certainly do not carry "un-necessary Junk" as you put it

Hello. We can confirm that is the Alde Flow continuous hot water module, as others have noted.
