Read Why Caravan Heater is a Must-Have Accessory for Your Caravan

Posted by My Generator on December 12th, 2019

Caravanning in the winter can be challenging, even to the most avid traveller due to colder temperatures, which can even drop below zero at some point. That is why the caravan heater is one of the most important appliances you should have when you plan to travel in the winter. High-quality caravan heaters will make sure that you can travel throughout the year without worrying about freezing in the colder months. No need to plan your trips around the warmer months when you can be confident that you can stay cosy and comfortable in fall, winter, or early spring.

There may be a lot of caravan heaters available online, but you need to choose carefully to make sure that you are investing in the right product that suits your budget and needs. You should be able to find a caravan heater that will go any vehicle, whether it is running on gas or diesel, or even electricity.  Some heaters are combination units, which means that they can come with air-conditioning or a hot water system, and they might be a great choice if you want to save space.

The gas caravan heater is one of the popular options with free campers, as it can connect directly to a gas bottle. It runs on its own, without needing to be hooked up to the engine, making it economical for you. Modern units are energy efficient and consume less power, and they can efficiently heat a regular caravan in 30 minutes. You can also find them environmentally friendly with their minimal emissions.

Diesel caravan heaters are more practical for bush campers. These are mounted externally to a caravan, and you can pick a unit with three, two, or one air outlets inside the vehicle for heating. You can also have this caravan heater hooked to the fuel line of your motorhome. It can be more economical for bigger vans, especially for extended trips, and this value can easily outweigh the upfront cost. If you are likely to go caravanning throughout the year, invest in a caravan inverter air conditioner with a built-in heat element, or consider a combi model with an air heater and hot water system.
