Caravan Heating - Am I going wrong somewhere?
Three vans ago we had a Compass Rallye van with a Truma Electric/gas blown air heating system. It was very efficient and the electric system heated the van up with energy to spare.
We then moved on to a Compass Magnum 544 also with a similar blown air system but this struggled to achieve a comfortable temperature and the trunking system hardly provided any heat at all. I know that this was a larger van but not that much larger!
This year we swapped the Compass for a new Swift Challenger Sport, again with a Truma blown air heating system but this is similar to the Compass in poor efficiency. I know that switching to gas does produce the required temperatures but why doen't it on
the electric side? Matters are not helped by Swift putting the heating controls in such a position that you cannot read them! However, I have tried every different combination I can think of including the recommended ones but still no joy.
Can anyone enlighten me further? Is there any other system that can be installed that would be more efficient?
