Truma Hot Water System: The Ultimate Caravan Companion

If you’re hitting the road in a caravan or motorhome, a reliable and energy-efficient hot water system is essential. The Truma Hot Water System is designed to deliver hot water fast, whether you're off-grid or at a powered site. With its compact size, powerful heating, and flexible energy modes, it's no surprise Truma is a favourite among Aussie travellers.

Key Features of Truma Hot Water Systems

1. Gas & Electric Heating for Flexibility

Truma systems feature a powerful gas burner for off-grid heating and an electric element for when mains power is available. You can use either energy source independently or combine them for rapid water heating.

✅ Ideal for remote or powered campsites
✅ No waiting around for a hot shower
✅ Efficient in all weather and terrain conditions

2. Energy-Efficient Insulation

Truma’s design keeps your water hotter for longer. Premium insulation means heat loss is limited to just 1°C per hour, reducing how often the system needs to reheat.

✅ Lower energy use = more time between refills
✅ Keeps water hot longer, saving power and gas
✅ Great for back-to-back showers

3. Three Heating Modes

Gas Mode: Run purely on LPG — perfect for off-grid adventures.
Mixed Mode: Combines gas and electric for super-fast heating.
Standby Mode: Maintains water temperature using minimal energy.

This flexibility makes Truma perfect for all kinds of road trips — from outback escapes to powered caravan parks.

4. Space-Saving Compact Design

Designed specifically for caravans and RVs, Truma systems are compact and light, easily fitting into small storage areas.

✅ Easy integration with your existing setup
✅ Lightweight, perfect for weight-restricted vehicles
✅ Keeps your plumbing setup neat and efficient

5. Fast Heating Times & Continuous Reheating

Truma systems heat water in as little as 15–30 minutes, depending on your selected mode. And they keep reheating as water is used — so no more cold showers in the middle of a camping trip.

✅ Ready when you need it
✅ Continuous hot water availability
✅ Great for couples or families travelling together
