There are several similarities between motorhomes and campervans. The way in which a van is heated may vary depending on what you design from scratch. Truma and Alde heating systems are found in most motorhomes and dealer-built campers, making owning one much easier. Even campers that have been retrofitted or converted from vans may not have heating. In case you intend to live in your van or use it all year, you’ll need some. It is only possible to stay warm in southern Spain during winter if you head south, although this can sometimes be very cold.
Depending on your vehicle type, its use, and your budget, campervan heaters vary in price and type. There are several ways to heat a motorhome or campervan:
- Electric
- Diesel
- Gas
- Wood
There are a number of options available to you. You can install a freestanding heating system or a freestanding one. Adding ducts and vents can increase the efficiency of a permanent heating system. Among the many types of plug-in heaters that can be found on the market today, freestanding heaters are among the most common. Aside from the construction, the payload, the airflow, the ventilation, and the cost, consideration must also be given to the design. In terms of heating options for campervans, every owner has different preferences; what works for one may not work for another.
