When choosing the best heating options for a Vauxhall Vivaro camper, consider efficiency, safety, and space utilisation. Here are some top heating solutions:

1. Diesel Heaters: Brands like Eberspacher offer diesel heaters that are compact and efficient. These units tap into the vehicle's diesel fuel supply, providing reliable heating without the need for additional fuel sources. They are especially effective for keeping the camper warm, even in freezing temperatures, and can operate independently of the engine.
2. Propex Gas Heaters: Using propane or butane, Propex heaters are another excellent choice for campers. They are known for their efficiency and provide a dry heat, which helps in reducing condensation within the van.
3. Electric Heaters: If you often camp at sites with electrical hookups, portable electric heaters are a simple solution. They are easy to use but depend on having access to an external power source.

Converting a Vauxhall Vivaro campervan for off-grid living involves several key steps:

1. Power Supply: Install solar panels and a high-capacity battery system to provide renewable energy. Just Kampers offer reliable solar solutions. Include an inverter to convert DC power to AC.
2. Water System: Equip your van with fresh and grey water tanks, a water pump, and a filtration system to ensure a steady supply of clean water.
3. Heating and Cooling: Use a diesel heater like those from Eberspacher for reliable heating. Install roof vent fans, such as Maxxair, for effective cooling and ventilation.
4. Insulation: Proper insulation using materials like reflective foil or sheep wool will help maintain comfortable temperatures inside the van.
5. Cooking Facilities: Opt for a propane stove or a portable electric cooktop if you have enough solar power.
6. Toilet Solutions: A composting toilet can be a practical and eco-friendly option for waste management.
7. Storage Solutions: Maximise space with modular cabinets and under-bed storage to keep your living area organised.
8. Communication and Navigation: Install a mobile signal booster to stay connected even in remote locations.

These steps will help you achieve a self-sufficient, comfortable off-grid living setup in your campervan.
