Let’s talk power and fit.
We built this caravan heater with a 2500W halogen element, running on 230V. That wattage gives you focused heat in an enclosed space—without tripping your vehicle’s electrical system. And the 300mm tube length? Totally intentional. It slips right into the standard recessed spots in most RVs. You get serious heat in a compact footprint, so you don’t have to rearrange your whole interior just to make room.
Why quartz, halogen, and the R7s design?
The core is quartz, not regular glass. Quartz handles rapid heating and cooling without cracking, and it sends out infrared energy cleanly. Inside, the halogen gas keeps the filament stable even at high temps. That means no blackening over time, and steady output for the life of the lamp. Then there’s the R7s connector—simple, two-pin, and straightforward. It makes wiring easy and locks in solidly. If you already have an R7s heater, this is a straight swap.
Heat, on your schedule.
When you’re in a caravan, you want warmth that shows up fast and stays consistent. This unit delivers infrared heat that warms people and surfaces directly, instead of wasting energy heating the air. So you feel comfortable sooner, and you’re not draining the battery or leaning hard on shore power. Here’s the trade-off, plain and simple: the 2500W draw means you need proper wiring and a switch that can handle it. Match your circuit protection to the unit, and it will take the daily on-off cycling without giving up.
