Hi,

I have a carver fire (3000 I think?), with the 12v truma blown air system, what would be the easiest way to convert this so I can have heating run via 240v instead of gas?, is there an element you can install to either, or can I replace the fire or fan for a type with a heating element?.

P.S. my fan is a little bit noisy on the current fan, not noticable during day time but noticiable when sleeping, is there a fix for this?.

Many thanks in advance,

Dale

The alternative to converting the fire is to fit an electric plinth heater, it simply fits into a rectangular hole at floor level under a seat, its the cheapest & easiest option i think.

Thanks for the Reply's,

Keith, I have looked at doing something like that, but her in doors likes the heat in the bathroom which the current system provides.

you can but kits for about £166 to add the electric elements to your fire, but best man to talk to is gary at www.arcsystem.biz as he does reconed ones and is god

I've got to say 'looking cool' was not the intended effect lol

Anyway the Carver Fanmaster is the easiest option, given you already have blown air it's probably only a couple of hours work.

The Truma Ultraheat will fit but requires quite a lot more work, also as your fan appears ready for replacement the price goes up considerably from the base price, fans are well over £100!!

The Truma though can be used as a convector without a fan so that's an advantage over the Fanmaster whose fan is required all the time.

 

 

Gary,

How much would I be looking for a fanmaster kit?. I don't think my fan is that bad, my father has a truma one on his much newer autosleeper thats noisy, mine just makes a slow pulsed squeek when u switch it off or have it on really slow. Sounds like a burr or flat spot on the shaft or something lol.

Thanks,

Dale

You'll need to contact me direct for prices, sounds like you want a Truma ultraheat and I have several of those.

Thanks again Gary,
