Anyone gone from Alde to Blown Air?

Hi all

Out of interest, has anyone gone from Alde to the modern day blown air heating?

I love Alde, no cold spots, quiet etc.

My last experience of blown air was off the back of the old 'fires' and it was awful.

Have they improved with the new solutions?

A lot of the vans we like the layout on are not alde Sad

Thanks

Much improved, climate control linked with the air conditioning if your stretching to a more expensive unit šŸ‘

England 

The blown air on our elddis is from an underfloor unit. Canā€™t remember if itā€™s Truma or Whale, but itā€™s seems very good and is quiet. There is no ā€œfireā€ in the ā€˜van like there was on older vans.

Is the blown air fitted to a brand new van?

Thanks both.

Yes the blown air would be on a new van. The new Truma units.

Interesting as didn't know Truma have a newer blown air system out, thought all manufacturers had gone Alde. Been put off new vans because of this as do a lot of rallying on battery.
Have heard the Alde system eats battery power.

It seems a lot of T/A are staying clear of Alde for weight.

Im trying to avoid the cold spots that our first van had before we went Alde.

Yea totally agree about the cold spots, friends have Alde system and must admit far better than the older Truma system we have except for the battery consumption.

My 2010 Pegasus has blown air heating and I wouldnt change it for the Alde.
We were thinking of upgrading last year but all of the newer vans had Alde heating which put us off. lol.
I didnt realise that new vans were going back to blown air, may have to take swmbo to the next C&C show at the NEC when it comes back. Thumbs Up

Went to the local dealers today

They had a swift dealer special, coachman and Bailey all meeting my layout requirements

Only the coachman had alde and paying Ā£4000 over the overs for it

I just canā€™t decide if trauma is for me now

Had it running and itā€™s very quiet to be fair,
