Description

Whale Expanse logo

This 8 litre Caravan and motorhome water storage heater has been cleverly designed to maximise living space by being located outside under the vehicle if space allows, or internally, but by using a balanced flue to increase location options. This under floor water heater builds on Whales reputation for heating excellence gained by their award winning space heaters

Being balanced flue this now means the days of cutting large holes for Flues in the side of your motorhome is a thing of the past, with the concentric flue pipes being led to the side of the vehicle and discreetly hidden under the sill. For internal mounted version the exhaust can go down through the floor and then to the side of the vehicle as up two metres of exhaust run is available to play with.

When fitted alongside  a Whale or Propex Under Floor Space Heater you can create a total under floor water and space heating system to create even more open space and offer more versatility in interior layout designs.

Fitted externally, Expanse only requires a minimal amount of internal space (214mm x 60mm x 81mm). Fitted internally, the heater gives converters the freedom to install hot water without resorting to cutting holes through motorhome bodywork.
