Its the heating issue that bothers me as we use our van during the winter and if the pipes outside aren't insulated then its going to struggle to get warm inside the 'van.

All the vans with blown air heating are exactly the same. Cold in one place and roasting in another. Been put in caravans since the 1970s and it is just as bad now as it was then.

Lunar now do Alde heating in some of their vans and we nearly bought one this year but we didn't like the open layouts of the fixed bed areas. Also you can't reach the kitchen cupboards or microwave unless you are on stilts.

We thought the build quality was excellent but the interiors are a bit bare.

All blown air heating is certainly not the same.I wish it was. I thought that when I bought my Lexon new last year.I now have to change the van for winter use . During a freezing winter break we could only get nearly warm by having the gas fire on full and fighting for the space in front of it -even then the bottom half of the van was very cold. Putting the blown air on reduced the fire heat.My son was away in his 10 year old van and had to turn the heat down on his blown air system.

All I can say is just see for yourself. Very simple - look under various vans and you will see that there is a very clear difference in the pipes for the blown air.Every van I have looked at since has a very small amount of pipe exposed to the elements except some Lunar ranges including Lexon.These have nearly all of it outside underneath the van and so the colder it is the more heat you need and the less you get as it cooling down on its way back into the van.
