Caravan boiler

What is an electric boiler for a caravan?
An electric caravan boiler is specifically designed for caravans, motorhomes, and chalets. Unlike gas or combination boilers, this type of boiler runs entirely on electricity (12V or 230V), which offers the following advantages:
-
Compact size (e.g., 10 liters)
-
Low power consumption (often 200 W at 12 V, or 850-1500 W at 230 V)
-
Safe temperature control and good insulation with EPP or ECO foam.
Installation considerations
-
230V connection with grounding (or 12V for DC models)
-
Maximum water network pressure of 6 bars
-
Choose a frost-protected installation or regular draining
-
Perfectly suited for water hardness up to 10° dH max.
