Recreational Vehicle Heating Systems: Hydronic Heating And Hot Water

By:

Published: September 7, 2007

To ensure comfort for those who choose to travel by driving a recreational vehicle, a quality heating system is a must. Many recreational vehicle owners are educating themselves before purchasing a heating system. One of today’s most popular choices in recreation vehicle heating systems are the hydronic heating systems.

When recreational vehicle traveling first became a trend, travelers were left with a heating system that either left them freezing or burning up. There seemed to be no happy medium in temperature when cruising along the highway. Many of these systems were powered by the use of propane tanks. The introduction of the hydronic system offered recreational vehicle travelers a much needed alternative.

The hydronic system is not only quiet, it also eliminates extreme temperature swings and instead creates a comfortable warmth inside the vehicle. When using a this system, vehicle owners can also expect to save energy and money. These heating systems are able to utilize the energy wasted by the engine of a recreational vehicle. In addition, a hydronic heating system can provide the vehicle with a constant supply of hot water. When it comes time to sell a recreational vehicle, the installation of a hydronic heating system will help to increase its value.

The Oasis is a modular hydronic system developed by the International Thermal Research. This operates by using two different heating modules: the heating module and the distribution module. As one might guess, the heating module’s function is to provide heat to the distribution module, which then circulates the heat within the recreational vehicle. The Oasis system is easily operated through the use of a circuit board. It is equipped to circulate heat to five different zones. The Oasis system is ideal for a recreational vehicle with limited space. It is a compact system, which measures 12 inches high, 16 inches long, and six inches deep.

Another great choice in heating systems for recreational vehicles are those offered by AquaHot Inc. AquaHot Inc. offers two different hydronic systems: the Aqua-Hot 600-D and the Aqua-Hot 450 DE. The Aqua-Hot 600 D has the capability of supplying a vehicle with an impressive two gallons of hot water per minute. This heating system can also provide warmth to a recreational vehicle with a three heating zone circulation. The Aqua-Hot 450 DE was designed specifically for a recreational vehicle with limited space. It provides 1.5 gallons of hot water per minute. This heating system also uses a two heat zone circulation pump. Both AquaHot systems come with a two year warranty, which covers both parts and labor.

The whole point of owning a recreational vehicle is to travel the open roads in absolute comfort. Installing a quality heating system guarantees travelers will be able to maintain a comfortable temperature when traveling in colder climates.
