Volkswagen Camper Heating

As anyone who has owned a VW Bay Window camper will know the interior heating if it works at all is not very good. Also if you plan to use your van in the winter you may wish to install an aftermarket heater such as a Propex, Eberspacher or Black Cat. A lot of imported VW vans already have interior heaters such as Eberspacher installed but it may be that it needs servicing or is faulty. Below are some links relating to the different types of VW camper heaters. If you know of any useful links not listed please contact me with the details and I will add them to the site.

Propane and LPG Heaters

One of the most common types of aftermarket heaters for the Volkswagen Camper Van is the Propex Heat Source.

Truma Heaters

Another gas heater that was factory fitted by a number of VW camper companies including Westfalia was the Truma Heater

Truma UK Limited

Quality With Tradition

With over 50 years of experience as European market leader, Truma are renowned for their energy efficient blown air heating systems. Operating with liquid gas, these clean, reliable products are extremely economical and operate by sucking air in from the outside; this is used to warm the air inside the vehicle and then passed back outside again by the exhaust. Truma heating systems are extremely easy to use; it's no wonder that the majority of caravan manufacturers fit Truma heating products as standard.
