    Really? Judging by the reports of faults on this forum, I get the impression that vans are far from good these days.🙁

    Agree with your first sentence though.

    As we are discussing 'heating' on this thread it was to that I was referring, as in, 'the heating systems are very good these days which ever type you choose'.

    Ah, for ‘vans’ we should read ‘heating systems’. Thanks for clarifying👍🏻

    You might have a different opinion if, like me you went from an excellent Truma system to a marginal at best, Whale blown air system. Which is also much much noisier than Truma.

    Like the OP I had no previous experience of what was better so when we made our final choice on our new van we choose the Elddis dealer special based on it being 2 years newer than than the Swift Conqueror that we had seen and short listed, So I would strongly suggest that it would dictate what my next van has fitted. 

    I have asked our dealer if our heating system needs looking at and they assure me it's no different regarding performance and noise to any other identical van with that system.

    We had the Whale system in an Elddiss and a Bailey,and it was noisey in both vans,the Truma is much more efficient and so quiet in our present Bailey

    We had an Elddiss but that was over 10 years ago, can't remember the heating as being noisy, I do remember the water pump however was noisy even when they changed it for a new one.

    The same with the MH and the new caravan have water pumps noisy, embarrassing so at night time, all on board whale pumps I might add.  

    The Truma 6, I agree is hardly noticeable, I can even sleep with it on.

    PeterR in my opinion the new caravan will not be as cosy as your current one with Also heating. I have had both a Truma blown air system in our first caravan - 2010 Lunar Quasar 556 and then Alde in a 2011 Lunar Delta Ti. The Alde system gave a much more even heat distribution from the floor to the ceiling, that was easier to control by setting the thermostat to our required temperature. Also the heat never felt as dry as the blown air. It is true that it takes longer to warm up, so, like others I had a fan heater to supplement the Alde system until it got up to speed.
