Still heating your camper van with separate air heaters and water heaters? The Aqua-Hot Gen1 Heater is a compact, fuel-efficient RV heater that heats both air and water. Save space and cost by incorporating this versatile, all-in-one RV heater into your camper van or RV.

With a 13500-20000 BTU output, this heater can easily heat a medium- or large campervan. And it's not just going to be warm right next to the heater: with 4 ducts, you can direct the heat to where it is needed—the galley, the sleeping area and the seating areas.

The efficient design of the Gen1 means it outperforms conventional RV water heaters that typically just have a bottom burner - with the Gen1, the water tank wraps around the heater, getting water to piping hot in 20 minutes or less.

Wondering which fuel you'll need? The Aqua-Hot Gen1 RV heater comes in versions which can be powered by diesel, gasoline or propane, use the drop-down to pick the version that suits your needs.

The Aqua-Hot Gen1 heater comes with every component you need for a camper van/RV heater installation, including the Gen1 heater, control panel, flexible ducting, and exhaust and intake tubing. 

Key Features: Aqua-Hot Gen1 Heater

The Aqua-Hot Gen1 Heater has the following key features:

  • All-in-One Heater - The Aqua-Hot Gen1 can replace the typical camper van setup of a diesel- or gas-powered air heater and a separate RV water heater with one compact, efficient unit, saving space and money.
  • Heat Where You Need It, How You Need It - Heat can be ducted to 4 locations where heat is needed, no more hot spots/cold spots. Four heating fan speeds enable you to choose how the heat is delivered.
  • Hot Water - The Aqua-Hot Gen1 heater can heat 2.64 gallons (10 liters) of water up to 176 degrees Fahrenheit in about 20 minutes, and can refill from the RV water tank as needed.
  • No-Anode Design - Unlike typical RV water heaters, there is no anode in this Aqua-Hot heater to maintain or replace, so no maintenance headaches.
  • Multiple Fuel Options - The Gen1 heater comes in multiple versions which can be powered by diesel, gasoline or propane, making it compatible with any camper van, motorhome or RV.
  • Easy-to-Use Control Panel - The LCD control panel shows up to 3 independently controlled zones, plus test and diagnostic read out.
  • RV-C Ready - The Gen1 is compatible with the RV-C protocol, and can communicate with any control/display system using this protocol.
  • Two-year limited warranty.
  • Proudly US-made in Colorado.

Have to shout out for Holly in CS she was patient, knowledgeable, and took the time to help save us a ton of money in shipping cost. Thank you Holly and Campervan HQ. The window install went as smooth as “glass” just what our sprinter campvertible needed!

Thank goodness for the pre-cut insulate! I had a couple extra pieces from the kit. So I cut them up and filled in a few places. I had a good pair of sharp shears that I struggled with and then I also tried to razor blade or two. All I can say is buy the pre-cut package!

Used it to move warm air out on hot days and used a down draft with the lid closed to just move air around for a comfortable sleep. The remote used to have the fan turn off or on at the desired temperature worked great too. I am installing another on our new fifth wheel.

Both items were cut perfectly and glued down flat. We’ve had no squeaks or movement from the flooring or subfloor over the last 2 years. Clean up is as simple as a vacuum or sweep and water beads up on the 2tec2 and doesn’t soak in or through it. It’s not the cheapest option but for the time saved on the install and the fact that we’ve had no issues with it, I think it was worth it.

We are installing the fabric now, and it’s working very well for us. We really like just having to do one gluing step. Corners are harder to do because of the thickness, so we can’t fold two layers together. But it’s easier to avoid wrinkles on the flat surfaces.

Love the extra protection these fender flares provide on my Metris. Also, they look fantastic IMO. If you're super OCD, you might not like the way the edges of the flares do not mate up with the body work of your van as the double sided 3M tape makes them raised about a 1/16th of an inch.
