Hi folks. We are looking at a little trailer for our next RV. The unit has an ALDE hydronic heating and cooling system. It is a Swedish system and seems quite common in Europe. Wondering how many have or have had this system and what they thought of it.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.
unless somthing has changed there is no cooling in the ALDE system, it would have a normal ac on top of the unit like any other trailer. the ALDE is heating, or heating and hot water. Myself, I wonder why it has taken so long to get an efficent silent and powerfull heating system in RV's that require way less battery power. I am even looking at the feasability of retrofitting one of these systems into my Truck Camper.

Steve - Alde North America is based in Seattle. I don't believe they are selling components to the non OEM aftermarket (yet).
Alde (and Truma) are very popular in Europe in RV's and boats. There are suppliers in the UK who sell the components.
nope they don't, but they are not the inventers of the system it has been used un europ for a much longer time and some of thoes companies will sell to consumers as they didnt get locked into deals with rv companies. at anyrate finding the system isnt the hard part, its planning a retro fit and ensuring that you can get proper airflows over the radiators and such. the system is more set up for an instalation in a new build but a retrofit can be done with a bit of work haha
