Thanks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galileo Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 Seen plenty of motorhome builds including my own one using HEP20, a log cabin will just vibrate less at speed. With a maximum permanent operating pressure 12 bar at 20º, you're safe using a caravan pump with HEP20. Key is to install an accumulator and use a pressure sensing pump, that way you won't get pulsing and spluttering at the taps and the pump will behave better at sensing pressure drops. https://www.surejust.co.uk/5-litre-accumulator-tank (for example, size to suit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
