If it's a mid 90s discovery you probably cannot run the heating without the fan but you do have a choice of low or auto I think. Low restricts the heating to 1000W when on electric and auto allows it to use 2000W on high speed and 1000W on low speed. It will change between high and low depending on how near it is to the thermostat temperature setting. There is a thermostat in the controller which you can turn up. At night we used to keep ours on minimum and that was fine. We had a 1999 Bailey Ranger 510/4. That blow air heating was fine because there were only 2 vents. One very close to the heater blowing itno the body of the van and one in the bathroom at the back. On our new van, a 2010 Bailey 520/4, we did have the option of running the heating without the fan and that was much better than with. However, the heating was never very effective in that van due, I believe, to there being several vents all at some distance fron the heater. Some of the ducting went under the floor and lost a lot of heat to outside.
