I think (hope) the legislation for this will be quite strict.....have you contacted the Centre for Green Energy, Hexham? They may be able to advise.
Personally I would imagine the water connection to be difficult on this one, if not impossible.

A dry stove in a caravan is perfectly possible and something I've done a few times. Gets expensive though - budget around £1200-£1500+vat if you're supplying the stove and your installer is supplying everything else at trade price. You're also limited on which stoves you can have as your floor is combustible, so you have to have a stove that has a certificate saying the base temperature won't exceed 100ºC

A stove with a back boiler in a caravan will be almost impossible - you need a difference of one metre in height between the bottom water connection on the stove (the return tapping) and the bottom connection on your cylinder. The pipework must rise constantly from the stove to the cylinder. So, in short, you'll need to put the cylinder on a stand and still find somewhere above it to put a water storage tank. You are not, under any circumstances, allowed to connect a mains-pressure cylinder to your stove, it must be tank fed. You may also need a heat-leak radiator connecting somewhere

Jackie, take your number off your original post, unless you want everyone and their dog calling you. Start a conversation with anyone that may be interested and you can send your number then.

I asked my dog if he wanted to call her but he said that he is not HEATAS registered.

Just CORGI registered!

How about this? it has a woodburner and hot water system combined. Nice architectural pipework too.

She could fit a small fortic cylinder on a platform (bungalow style setup) but yes fitting rad would be difficult! What's called a "challenge"

Fit the wood burner outside with water jacket doing heating and water.
Stupid idea I know but I'm a gasman not a timberman.
