Description
Ecotherm Hydronic Caravan Heater | WaterMark Certified | No External Venting Required
Product Overview
The Ecotherm Hydronic Heater is an innovative, space-efficient heating solution that utilises heat from your caravan’s existing hot water system. Designed specifically for caravans and RVs, Ecotherm draws only the top 5–6°C of heat from the hot water tank, circulates it through a compact heat exchanger, and returns it to the system to be reheated and reused.
Because the heat is recycled rather than exhausted, no external flues or ventilation are required, making installation simpler and safer. The Ecotherm heater can operate using gas, electricity, or both, depending on your hot water unit, and works directly with Swift hot water systems.
Fully WaterMark certified, compact, and lightweight, this heater is ideal for vans 19 feet and under, providing efficient, reliable warmth without compromising space or safety.
