There seems to be a bit of mix and match going on at Chausson. Our 2010 Welcome 76 has the Truma gas (and electric) heater fitted.
Can't help on the Transit front either, I'm afraid. I do love my Fiat, though. Just back from 2900 miles around France. Smooth, powerful, no problems in reverse, even up some steep bits. It's got cruise and air con, as I think most X2/50 Fiat motorhomes have.

Hi Gerald I have just bought a 76 and wondered if I have to do anything with the Truma cowl on the outside before I use the heater? I presume it is the one on the side if the van and not on the roof? Any tips gratefully received. Reg

Can't speak for the transit base as ours is the 3 litre Fiat maxi.. But the chausson quality is pretty good with excellent insulation and water capacity. Ours has the truma electric/gas system and "Road heating"
Cant think of anything negative tbh
(oh.. The TV locker is tiny... But it makes a nice drinks cabinet)
What is road heating?
Thanks for all the above replies everyone!

Thanks. How does it use the diesel when you are stopped? I mean does it drain your leisure battery to blow the heat?
In common with all blown air heating, the leisure battery supplies power for the fans and, in this case, glow plug for startup.
Diesel heaters have gained a reputation for heavy battery use age. More modern designs, however, in reality use no more power than a Trauma combi gas heater. A quality leisure battery is advisable though for off grid use.
They are excellent in use though. You can turn up the thermostat and keep warm without the hassle of having to find a gas retailer often. Diesel is so much easier to come by!
We will be in the Alps skiing in a few weeks, our diesel heater and boiler is very liberating in such circumstances.
We have a big battery bank of 345 Ah, but that keeps us going for 4 days without recharging, heating on 24/7, TV and lights as required, all at between -5 to -20 odd.
The Flash will be well winterised too. All that is required is a bucket under your open waste valve to stop your waste tank freezing when the going gets tough.:thumb:

Many thanks for taking the time to give me an explanation. Your help has been great. Just really hoping we get this van now.
