Without being noticed they offer warmth with quality. Water heaters offer the highest comfort in motorhomes. When the warm air reaches the ceiling, it drops to the ground and is then heated again by the convectors. The rising warm air also forms an air barrier in front of the windows, which keeps the cold away and prevents condensation. The air rises and heats walls and furniture. The convectors (small radiators) are located around the outer walls and heat the air passively. Hot glycol water circulates around the system through radiators and pipes by means of a pump. The heat source comprises an LPG boiler with a 230-volt immersion heater, which heats a liquid mixture consisting of water and glycol. It is quieter, blows no dust and covers the entire room. The Alde central heating system is a hydronic system, with the same heating principle as in most of our homes. That’s why Airstream uses the heating system of the Swedish ALDE Company.
The fan and burner always turn on and off resulting in fluctuations in temperature and a significant noise nuisance.Įuropean Airstreams models are designed specifically for the European market and the climate there. This heating systems produce warm air with the help of electricity or gas and distribute it with several outlets in the vehicle. In the USA and Europe, most have a simple blower heating. This design results in a very homogeneous shell which has been tested for many decades in both winter and summer.Īll European Airstreams come with a hydronic heating system
The floor is insulated with a 40 mm thick hard foam. To avoid thermal bridges, all profiles are insulated with a sealing tape. The semi monocoque shell of the Airstreams is insulated with a 60mm Knauf Eco Bat mat which is compressed to 40mm between the inside and outside skin. This question is frequently asked by prospects when they look at the iconic silver bullet first time.Įven if Airstream does not officially fulfil and winter camping standards, winter camping with a European Airstream model is for sure a great experience.
