The weather is getting colder. What do you know about RV heating? See if you can improve it in your RV.

The time has entered September, and some parts of the country have begun to turn cold, and it will start to turn cold in a while. With the increasing popularity of RV life, traveling in winter is also the choice of many riders, because they want to see different scenery. Of course, there have been riders who lived as "migratory birds", but there will always be colder weather during the migration. Therefore, the heating of the RV is also very important for this mobile "home". Friends who have not bought a car can be a reference condition for choosing a car. For people who have already bought a car, everyone has a different way of heating. Here are some existing methods for your reference, to see if your car is already available, or there is room for improvement to make our journey more comfortable.

At present, the main heating methods are as follows:

1, parking air conditioning

As the name implies, it is the air conditioner used for parking after the RV stops driving. Now most RVs have been configured. Generally, it is divided into overhead air conditioners and bottom air conditioners. In addition, a considerable number of household wall-mounted split air conditioners are now in use. One of their characteristics is that they all need to use the power supply on the RV (non-engine starting power supply). If they can be connected to the power supply, they will be very comfortable to use. If you use the lithium battery or lead-acid battery that comes with the RV, the service time is not always satisfactory. After all, parking air conditioning consumes a lot of electricity, and the storage capacity of RV is limited, which will make people anxious. However, these air conditioners also have the same disadvantage, that is, due to the cold and heat exchange principle of air conditioners, the heating effect will be greatly reduced after the temperature is below zero.

2. Heater

This is our home heater, such as heater, electric oil stove, small sun and so on. People with discerning eyes will know at a glance that their biggest shortcoming is their high power, which leads to high power consumption. Therefore, the problems encountered are the same as those of the parking air conditioner, but compared with the parking air conditioner, the heater can still achieve better results without being limited by temperature. The rest is the problem of electricity. Let's work it out slowly.

3. Fuel heater

The so-called fuel heater is a kind of equipment that heats by burning fuel (diesel or gasoline). At this stage, most of the saloon cars are equipped with this equipment as standard, and now most of them are foreign brands, such as Eberh, Webster and Truma. The fuel heater is easy to use, and it can be heated by directly extracting fuel from the fuel tank of the RV and burning it. At the same time, some fuel heaters are in the form of integrated heaters. Of course, fuel heaters also have disadvantages, especially diesel heaters. At high altitude (above 3000 meters), there will be some problems such as difficult ignition and insufficient combustion.

4. Gas stove

Gas heaters are also well understood, that is, devices that are heated by burning gas. Its advantages are good heating effect and not harsh operating conditions. Similarly, we should also talk about shortcomings. First, it takes up a lot of space, and second, it consumes a lot of gas, so it needs to be replaced. So although it works well, it is always inconvenient to use it for a long time.

5. Turn on the air conditioner

Let's talk about turning on the air conditioner first, that is, starting the engine of the RV and using the heat of the engine to achieve the purpose of heating. This is also the least recommended heating method. Many people know that there is always something wrong with the engine idling for a long time, and the above heating methods are not economical. Therefore, this heating method is still used in emergency situations, and it is absolutely not recommended to use this method to warm up at ordinary times.

6. Water heating

Water heating is through the ground coil, circulating hot water in the pipeline, through the heat medium in the radiation layer of the floor, using the law of heat storage and upward radiation on the ground itself, and conducting from bottom to top to achieve the purpose of heating. As we all know, this is expensive both in manufacturing and later use, so it is only used in some high-end RVs. So far, Gu has only read the materials, but never seen the real thing, so let's listen.

To sum up, it is some heating methods of some RV now. Are there any questions after reading it? It seems that there is not only one way to solve the heating problem of RV. The truth is, I think so, too. Because the mobility of the RV determines that it is in different environments at any time, many different factors have caused it to travel around the world without a device. Therefore, my opinion is that RV must be equipped with more than two kinds of heating equipment, and the best combination recommended is parking air conditioner and fuel heater. In fact, it is also suggested to add another heater, because it is small, practical and convenient, and it is also good as an auxiliary equipment for heating. Finally, it is said that there are many talented people in the world. I believe that there must be some "unique cheats" among the riders who play RV, so I might as well share them with you.
