Heating your MH on the move

surely if a Securemotion  regulator and stainless steel gas pipe are fitted, then why cant a Truma Combi heater be left on in a moving motorhome ?  and can a seperate 12 v supply be found that isnt switched off when the engine is started , to drive the boiler control electronics and fan ?

Fatbelly if it is not too late you can always enquire if the engine heat exchanger can be fitted, it is an option you can have with the Alde system

A lot depends on which MH you have purchased. If it's Uk built then you need to ask your Dealer about wether it can be used while on the move. If not then you need to ask them if it can be modified to make it work. On the other hand if it's from over the water then chances are it will run happily. It's still a question for your Dealer though.

I'm with Ray and Q4. I have the Truma Securemotion regulator which I'm told meets all current UK and EU regulations for using gas heaters on the move. I've been heating my motorhome on the move since 2000 although in those days, the safety standards were lower and my regulator only complied with German standards. I still switch off all gas appliances when required to do so such as at fuel stations and in tunnels. get your dealer to tell you and show you in the manuals where it says it can, or can't, work on the road.

to run on gas, both Alde and Truma just need a secumotion rupture proof hose (green button) which can be rubber or steel, and a secumotion regulator....

both or these items shut off the gas supply in the event of an accident.

additionally, with an ALDE system, a heat exchanger can be fitted which can supply the boiler with heat from the engine, thus negating the use of gas on the move.

We too have the Alde heating system with the engine heat exchange system. We arrive on site toasty warm throughout with no cold spots at all!
