we found the Truma on our last two MH's a bit noisy if you left it on all night, but the alde on our latest seems a lot quieter. the alde is a wet system with radiators that stay hot and keep the van warmer a lot longer than a warm air system does, when you turn the hearing off.
I've seen a few comments that suggest that opening a door to go out lets all the warm air from the truma escape and it takes longer to heat back up than it does with an alde system BUT i am not convinced there is much difference.
i havent noticed any real practical difference in the provision of hot water in either system.
the alde system needs draining down and replacing the fluid every five years (after replacing the original 2 year fluid) - its a lot easier to do than many would have you believe, lots of you tube videos to show you how,
finally, i wouldnt let they type of heating/hot water system be the deciding factor when choosing a van, i havent noticed that much difference between either.
there are different variations of fixed end bed, an island bed would be our next choice IF the rest of the layout suited us. for us the priorities were
fixed double bed
large fridge and separate freezer (or large freezer compartment)
decent size bathroom with usable a practical sized shower and comfortable toilet position (no scrunched up knees while on the toilet)
remis window blinds
four travelling seats (on the odd occasion we take the grandchildren)
low(ish) profile
nice to have were -
fixed lpg system - would have preferred underslung but only to free locker space)
oven
solar and two leisure batteries
cruise control
our latest MH has a separate flush tank for the toilet, i wasnt sure about at first as i though it was a gimmick, but have realised we can now travel virtually empty of water (we carry a 5l container for brewing up etc) so its another one on the nice to have list !
of course standard things such as hob, 12v lights, 240 power etc usually come as standard.
