Adria Truma heating (2 Viewers)

[Trout bum]

Hi first night in our new van Adria Matrix M670SL but bedroom seems cold can't see where the air heating ducts are , anyone point me inthe right direction ducts in lounge are working ok

 

[ivorantony]

Don’t think it will help but our Adria A class has the vents around the base of the rear bed, including two into the garage below the Bed,

Might be a case of following the pipework ?

If your bed is over the garage try putting the heating on in there if there is any .

Probably how it's meant to be, most continental vans they set the heating up so the bedroom stays cool.

 

[Trout bum]

Hi all
Thanks for the replies I have traced the pipes they go along the sides of both single beds but no outlet as far as I can see however there are two squares of wood each side at the headboard end which are blanked off I don't know if they are supposed to be or not.

If you check the pipes closely, you'll probably find that they have small slits made in them for the warm air to percolate out, along the edges of the bed. Just make sure the pipes haven't been turned and no longer blow in the desired direction.

Looks like you have to generate your own heat in the bedroom !

hi trout bum we have the 670SL and there are no vents for heating in the bedroom. the only vent is in the toilet. so the only heating is provided by the pipes that run either side under the bed frame. not the best but haven't really suffered and we always use the van in the winter. try leaving the bedroom door open and the heating on in the main area (only on EHU obviously- gas far too expensive)

 

[Trout bum]

Thanks for taking the time to reply Mannclan just got the van and think it's the bees knees but only motorhome I know that has no heating in the bedroom especially when there's a heating outlet in the garage , think a wee bit of brain work and diy needs to be done

We have an Adria Coral Supreme and we have a heating vent in the bedroom. Our hot water heating system is under the end of the bed...so it's always cosy in bed. We have found, though, that the electric heating is NOWHERE nearly as efficient as the gas.....so to overcome this we give the leccy a boost from the gas periodically...we do have LPG refillable so the gas is quite cheap. We absolutely LOVE our Adria.... a wonderful design in every way....mind you they are designed by women enjoy yours.

Hi Pia,
Yeah love my Adria as well great build quality and design discovered the heat pipes run along side the single beds I'm thinking of taking of one of the blank ends and fitting a heating outlet butterfly hopefully this will put some heat in the bedroom and make it cosy

There is no way we .. (I) would want blown air heating in the bedroom. It's far too dry.

Adria and Alde - snug as a bug in a rug Mutt's nuts.

 

[Trout bum]

Good for you but difficult enough waiting for Adria coming up for sale without trying to get one with alde heating just grateful to find this one I'll make it cosy , just love the interior and quality and not a rattle or squeak when driving

 

[Camdoon]

Had the van less than a year and mightily impressed as well. Better built than previous Rapido along with some nice features and better use of space. If you look at any Truma v Alde debates in the past year you will find me one of the first on saying I would never go back.

We turn the heating down very low at night as we like a cool bedroom...we like it warm during the day so one of us will turn the thermostat up at around 07.00 in the morning ......everyone is different.

 

[Trout bum]

Just looking to make it warm take the chill out before bed and if grandkids are with me it's more comfy for them if it's nice and snug at bedtime , going to look at the tv bracket above fridge looks like it will only take an 18 "tv see if I can adapt it for our 21" avtex.

Have to agree with you on the quality and interior layout, we on our 3rd Adria Coral in 14 years. Also as you say not many about and made a mistake of changing our 2nd Adria for a Dethleffs Black Magic, wrong decision got rid of it for another Coral 690 after only 9 months. Well pleased with the Brand and model.

There are more Adria's on the continent...expect to see more about here too as our local Adria dealer is rushed off his feet....it's good to see a few Adria owners on here...ours is a Coral Supreme 680ST and we love it to bits..... the perfect layout for us
