VeGA and LevelCheck received the Reddot Design Award

Truma received the Reddot Design Award for its Industrial Design Award for its LevelCheck LPG tank level indicator and for its VeGA fuel cell system. This renowned award recognizes the successful design concept, the degree of innovation and the functionality of both Truma products.

The LevelCheck level indicator measures the filling level of gas cylinders simply and reliably with ultrasound. After winning the Caravaning Design Award, this is the second award for this product. The VeGA system is the first fuel cell system to generate electricity from liquefied gas. It is one of the most efficient devices on the market with a power of 250 W and a charging current of 20 A.

We are happy to win both awards. They are an incentive for us to keep our special attention focused on the attractive appearance of our products. We believe that quality is reflected not only in innovative technology, but also in high-quality design. said Axel Schulz, head of R&D at Truma.

The TRUMA company has appeared on the pages of the portal several times. We encourage you to read the articles

Heating and air conditioning in the motorhome and caravan

The standard heating option is a system based on a gas furnace (eg Truma or Dometic) powered by gas from a cylinder. The walls of the motorhome trap warm air, and the insulation is also the double floor, which more and more models have. Some people install electric strip heating directly on the walls, gathering heat in the room quietly (no fan), safely and evenly. An alternative to these systems is independent diesel heating. Companies such as Webasto and Eberspaecher, which offer air or water auxiliary heating, specialize in it. In the case of water, warm air is blown inside with special blowers, and some of it heats the engine. However, with the second option, the air is heated directly in the room. Air heating is most often installed in motorhomes because it is quieter. Its advantage is also low power consumption and instant heat. Devices are switched on using a digital clock or remote control.

Gas on the go - an overview of applications and devices

People starting their adventure with a camper or caravan can sometimes find it difficult to find their way in the maze of gas-powered heating devices and accessories. In this article, we would like to systematize knowledge in this area and draw attention to possible methods of heating, but also storing and refueling gas. The most popular gas tank used in broadly understood caravanning is a replaceable 11 kg cylinder. The downside is that it is made of steel and is heavy. Due to their weight and dimensions , NANO cylinders have also become popular, available at numerous chain gas stations and some DIY stores (equipped with a dedicated filling connector), and recently also GAS BANK cylinders. Although the latter solution is associated with a high purchase cost, the wide range of refueling nozzles available makes it easier to fill in most European countries. We also have the option of connecting a gas level sensor . The cylinders are light, handy and safe - link.

What heating in the caravan?

Modern caravans , and especially campers, are mostly immediately equipped with appropriate heating systems . However, if you need to make the right heating purchase yourself, you will need some information. Heating devices should be adapted to both the way the motorhome is used and its size. The principle is simple - the smallest stoves are enough for small caravans, while the largest ones should be installed in large caravans and motorhomes. And so, among the most popular gas stoves on the market by the German company Truma , the smallest will be the S2200 model. It uses 30 to 280 grams of propane-butane gas per hour and produces a rated heat output of 1,850 W.
