Air heater or coolant heater

[peer oliver schmidt]

For the 23' I need a new device to provide warmth for the coach
*without* LPG.

What is the consensus among the GMCnet: Air heater or coolant heater
plus coolant-air exchange.

If shore power is available I will use a regular electric heater, but
for the times when shore power is not an option, I am looking for ideas,
and am currently undecided between an Hydronic (coolant gets heated and
another device transfers coolant temp throughout the coach using air) or
an Airtronic (air gets heated directly).

For me: Airtronic seems to be the least effort, but has the disadvantage
of being fairly loud, and you have the burn process in the coach.
Hydronic is a bit more effort, but it is supposedly less loud, as it can
be mounted in the engine compartment, and you never have the burn
process in the coach.

Have you looked into some of the Webasto units Oliver? They have quite a few options, gas and Diesel as well as air and hydronic. Worth looking
into.Hal

I have. It is either Webasto or Eberspächer. I just want to get some
opinion from GMCnet, what others think.

I don't think many have gone this route because propane is so normal and readily available on this side of the pond.

I take it it's either illegal or hard to come by there for a road vehicle?
