Convert gas only heating to dual fuel

[ghoster]

We have a Fiat H2 S series 65 SL motorhome which we bought with a Truma Combi which only has heating by gas. If we want to have this converted to dual fuel heating can anyone tell me if this is a possible conversion and perhaps some idea of cost. Is the Truma dual fuel boiler much larger than the gas boiler The current boiler is under the seat.

By dual fuel I assume you mean gas/240v not gas/diesel.

When we bought our current van new, it was gas only. Got a quote upgrading it which was over £600 plus some wiring. Decided against it and have never regretted it. Just make sure you don't run out of gas.

Why?
All 3 vans we have had have been gas only and the new van on order I didn't bother with the electric option.
They are a bit pathetic on electric and far cheaper to run on gas.

Same boiler comes with or without heating elements.

Yes. We currently use a fan heater when connected to power but it is not the same.

As the chap in Truma's Technical Dept at Derby said to me, when I enquired some years ago, "You can by a lot of Autogas, for what it's going to cost you in parts and labour."

Needless to say, I never bothered, and never regretted it either. We just carried a small fan heater for the few occasions we were on EHU.

Cheers,

Jock.
