Electric Halogen Heat for Caravans
Here’s the thing about heating a caravan: you want warmth, and you want it now. No waiting around for a bulky system to fire up. That’s why we built our electric Caravan heater around a powerful halogen lamp. It throws out radiant heat instantly—no chimney, no fuss. Just plug it into standard campground power, and you’ve got a compact heat source that’s ready to go, and easy to mount.
Power, Voltage, and Size—Simplified
We designed it to run on 230V, so you can plug it straight into your caravan’s shore supply or a generator. It pulls just enough current to keep things safe, while still packing the heat you need in a tight space. And the lamp? It’s kept short—about 300mm. That means it slips into shallow cabinets or under seats without a fight. The trade-off is that the heat is concentrated, so you’ll want to give it a bit of breathing room and watch your clearances.
What’s Inside: Halogen, Quartz, and the R7s Base
Inside, you’ve got a quartz envelope holding the halogen element. It cranks out serious infrared heat, and keeps its performance steady over time. The halogen chemistry helps stop the filament from blackening, so the lamp stays bright longer. The R7s base is a double-ended connector that handles high heat at the ends. It’s straightforward to replace—just drop it in. Plus, the lamp body is coated to keep surface temps in check, so nearby plastics and wiring stay protected.
Why It Works for Caravans
Space is tight. And patience is thin when you’re cold. This heater cuts through the chill immediately. No waiting for a heat exchanger to warm up. It’s simple. It’s easy to maintain. And it’s perfect for winter camping, early-season trips, or even just keeping dampness at bay. Just make sure your electrical circuit is properly protected, and give it a spot where air can move freely. After that, it’s just you, your space, and instant, comforting warmth.
