We are considering downsizing from a coachbuilt to a PVC. And because we want a new van with a comfortmatic gearbox and a specific layout, it is likely we will need to place a factory order.
Looking through the various options list for a Rapido / Dreamer van it is possible to specify 230 volt underfloor heating. Obviously need a hook-up to benefit, but that's frequently what we choose.
I haven't come across electric underfloor heating in a van before.
So the question is does anybody have electric underfloor heating in their van? If so, is it any good? And I haven't yet been able to discover what the power consumption is - but suspect not a lot.
The cost is £390 inc vat. Now although a significant amount of money, and much more than a £20 fan heater or oil-filled radiator, it does have appeal. Especially as we're downsizing and need to reduce the amount of 'clobber' we carry 'just in case'.
Another advantage could be 'airing' the van in winter when parked at home, and possibly creating a frost-free zone too?
Any thoughts?
