Rear of motorhome cold while traveling.

You don’t heat it unless you have a gas system specially designed for use on the move.

Coats are an option.

There is/was an add heater matrix that could be run via the cab heater,into the rear seats

I'm told that a Maplin Ceramic 12V Heater will do the trick - or thicker jumpers and socks - which ever is most cost effective..

You need one of these.....

I think Elddis fit them as standard, my previous van had one...

We have one of those fitted to our Bailey although never used it whilst on the move but it could be a solution for the OP. For the two of us we generally find the cab heating enough but can see that in a big motorhome it might be a struggle further back in the van.

Hi Tintent115, this would be great if I could fit this to my Elddis.

ive had a look and I don't have this fitted to my gas hose. There is also a sticker next to the gas bottle advising that the gas should be in the off position while in motion. Can this be purchased and fitted to the whale space heater system?

Our Chausson has a Webasto heater that runs off the diesel tank and can be used when travelling.  Great for touring in the winter months.

My Swift MH has a Heat Exchanger under the front lounge seats which allows me to heat the hab' area from the engine while driving.   This equipment came as standard.    So much for all those Swift knockers who are always having a go at Swift.

Are there other makes of MH who have a similar system?    Do the German vans have this?      Probably a very expensive option!

Probably helps to dry the damp out 

Doug, as stated, a lot of vans now have this system, but as its a Truma 'system' perhaps this is why it isnt fitted as part of a whale system.

i dont know if its possible to fix, but in simple terms, the regulator and rupture proof hose are there to cut off the gas supply from the heater in the event of a collision....they were previously marketed as CS ('crash safe'....)

i would have thought that this type of regulator/hose combination would provide similar protection as its not really to do with the heater, rather the cylinder.

perhaps a call to Whale might help...

some systems, primarily ALDE, as in Bill's van fully incorporate heat exchangers to make use of otherwise wasted engine heat to warm both cab and to heat a tank of water while en route...

some also work in reverse, taking heat from the ALDE boiler and warming the engine prior to departure, allowing for instant engine warm up and subsequent cab heating.

i think there are heat exchangers that can be cab fitted but nothing to do with a separate MH heating system.
