I'm stoked to make the slowcooker! I covered the walls & ceiling of my trailer with poly & blankets and it's helped keep the heat in a lot. RVs are so poorly insulated that most the heat just escapes! I'm not sure that the heating of the water in the pipes itself can drive the water upwards but I'm sure with some method of movement like a pump it could be stored in the insulated tank for future use. I quite fancy those propane tankless water heaters myself, I plan to get one soon. I need on demand hot water so I can quickly sanitize goat milking equipment/jars. Glad to have found you also! I saw 'natural horsemanship' in your write up and my reaction was "Yaayy!" this is something I'm just starting to get into. Don't see too many people posting about it. Going to be volunteering at a friend's farm to get more experience with horses in general but one day I hope to befriend one of my own! ^_^

Yes the heat escapes very easily! Ivwany one if the gas water heaters but the water pressure isn't enough here, so I would need some kind of pump...am thinking black pipe coiled under perspex (not glass as my van drives ;-). Or the copper pipe around stove pipe, but that's not great when weather warmer!. Great you got a friend with horses, did you see that documentary 'the path of the horse' nice variety of natural training methods in there. I had to sell my horses as with new baby I couldn't do the 3x day feeding needed here in south Spain, its high maintenances here, no green fields, miss them lots. later will do another trek and for much longer,, enjoy your time with the horses and I'm sure one will find you :-)
