Heating system

All our caravans are equipped with warm water central heating and several heating coils in the floor. The heating system creates a more pleasant indoor climate, heats the drainage outlet and reduces the risk of the water freezing. The heat even reaches spaces where you keep items such as shoes and ski boots.

Controls

There are air gaps behind the sofas, beds, overhead cupboards and kitchen units to ensure the heat in your caravan is as evenly distributed and ventilated as possible. The whole of the heating system is easy to regulate using the control panel strategically placed in the kitchen area. At the heart of the heating system is an Alde Compact central heating boiler 3/5 kW (electric/Calor gas). The boiler has three output settings and operates with both 230 V and Calor gas.

Heat transfer

In addition to the insulating effect, the Cabby method means that the heating pipes in the floor distribute heat evenly over the entire floor surface via the heating plates. The superior insulation also ensures the heat does not find its way down to the underside of the floor, but gives maximum benefit to the interior. The underfloor heating system is also equipped with individual shutoff valves.

Capacity

Cabby’s superior insulation also contributes to extending the envelope for the outside temperature with which the caravan can cope using a 10 Amp fuse. Very few campsites currently offer 16 Amps, which is required in order to utilise the full 3 Kw capacity of the boiler at 230 V.
