The holiday season is slowly approaching, which also means that campers and caravans are being taken out of storage and prepared for the necessary road trips! How do you ensure a pleasant temperature on days when it might not be so warm when you're away in your camper or caravan? We at Dugoshop are happy to explain!
Underfloor heating in a motorhome or caravan
Electric underfloor heating provides pleasant and even heating, even in a camper or caravan. These are often supplied in strips, which you can mount next to each other yourself under your floor. To guarantee the correct heating, without risks, our underfloor heating foils always operate at the correct, low voltage.
These underfloor heating foils are low voltage, making them very suitable for use in campers or caravans.
Space in a motorhome or caravan is limited for most people, which is why underfloor heating is ideal to use. This form of heating does not take up unnecessary space and is thin enough to be placed directly under the floor covering.
Underfloor heating films in 12 and 24V
This underfloor heating foils are 3mm thick, and can be supplied at two safe voltages. Another additional advantage of these films is that they are available in many different lengths and widths. This means you will always have the right film for your motorhome or caravan. Both versions of this underfloor heating can be connected to a battery, solar panels or other off-grid energy sources. For travellers who want to be independent of the grid, this is also an ideal form of heating.
Is your motorhome or caravan also well insulated? Then you can even use this underfloor heating as the main heating! This saves space that another form of heating would normally take up.
Keep your underfloor heating at a low voltage at all times
Using a Transformer Can your underfloor heating always operate on a safe, low voltage? This is very important in a camper or caravan. This transformer converts the power from a battery or other power supply into a safe voltage. This prevents power surges in your underfloor heating, thereby automatically extending the lifespan of your system. It also prevents fluctuations in the performance of the underfloor heating.
Controlling your underfloor heating from one central point
Controlling, viewing and operating your underfloor heating is just as important. At Dugoshop, you can choose from various thermostats that are suitable for these underfloor heating foils. With a control system, you can operate the underfloor heating yourself, turn it on and off, and view the power consumption.
The TC-500 is often used with this type of underfloor heating. This is a compact thermostat, which can be easily plugged into the socket. A thermostat is very important to use, especially if you do not always want the underfloor heating on.
This version also comes in a Wi-Fi variant, which means you can control the underfloor heating from your phone.
If a simpler thermostat would also suffice for you, you'll be perfectly fine with the TC-200 and TC-300 too!

The combination of low voltage, thin material, and the possibility of a complete system makes these films excellent for campers and caravans. By using the mats, a transformer, and external controls, you'll be set for years! For those seeking energy-efficient and effective heating for a camper or caravan, Dugoshop is the right place to be!
