Safe Motorhome Heating While Driving: Gas and Diesel Rules
Original source: sueddeutsche.de

In Brief

Experts remind that gas heating in a motorhome while driving requires a crash sensor and hose-break protection. Diesel heaters can be used without restrictions.

Experts are reminding about safety rules for using gas heating in a motorhome or caravan while traveling. To prevent gas leaks in an accident, a crash sensor is required, as is, typically, a hose-break protection device (shut-off valve).

Gas appliances must not be used in enclosed spaces such as parking garages or garages, nor while refueling. Diesel heaters can be used without restrictions.

During winter use, a single 11-kilogram gas cylinder lasts 3–5 days for heating, cooking, and the refrigerator (at temperatures from -5 to +5 °C).
