How to Choose a Motorhome Heater
For those who like to road trip all year round, what could be more unpleasant than being awoken by the cold? During the winter and also certain spring nights it is necessary to heat the inside of the motorhome, or campervan so it doesn’t turn into an ice cube. So how does it work, what are the different motorhome heaters and how can you increase the temperature intelligently?
Electricity in a motorhome is a recurring problem. With all the electronic appliances like our TV, GPS and coffee machine, we use a lot of electricity. Recharging the battery of our motorhome is essential when on the road. In fact, for every hour on the road, your battery recharges around 8 AH (Amp/hour), yet we use nearly 45 AH (Amp/hour) every day. What’s more, if you’re not driving very often, you will have to find a complementary source of energy if you don’t want to sleep in a tent every night. Solar panels for campervans have become essential, as they are an important energy complement for your auxiliary battery.
