I like the thermostat plug - what make and model is it? If you ever run your oil rad on 2Kw then uncoil the extension cable as the coil creates eddy currents that cause heat and can cause a fire without tripping RCD or fuses! Great to see different jobs and the difficult to reach ones.

Yes it is a clever piece of kit. Saves having the heater on when not needed. I’m not sure of the make and model but got it from Amazon. Thanks for the tip. I knew about uncoiling if using the gutter vac but didn’t know the heater might pull enough power to heat up the coil.

@@cwnexteriorcleaning I'm probably over cautious with unreeling the extension cable for the oil rad but it could be on for long periods and totally unattended in your van! Better to be safe than sorry. I'll look on Amazon, thanks.

@@ched999ukby the way, I checked that cable reel and you were right. For the power of the heater it should be uncoiled so thanks for that!
