Van Life Tech Hydronic Radiant Floor

  • Patent Pending “Top Down” technology designed for Mobile Applications
  • Our “Keystone” allows you to determine where you want to bring your tubing out of the floor allowing any mechanical location / Van layout desired.
  • Plank Flooring & Universal Corner System provide multiple tubing layout configurations out-of-the-box. Want a shower pan in-the-floor at your slider door, rear trunk in your spare tire location or aftermarket seating – no problem.
  • Captures Tubing in toleranced channels inside-the-floor during assembly ensuring quiet longevity. PEX tubing expands and contracts during thermal cycles which can cause noise and/or the tubing to work itself out of traditional tubing installation methods when used in a mobile application.
  • Construction Screw Assembly & Layup on the insulated subfloor. In short – we know from experience – nails do not work in mobile applications.
  • Kits are CNC cut from 18mm LEED certified poplar lite-ply (40% lighter than typical shop plywood)

The convenience of controlling the temperature with my smartphone is incredible! I love being able to come back to a warm and cozy van after a long day outdoors. Highly recommend this heating system!

As a full-time van lifer, this heating system has made my winter travels so much more enjoyable. I appreciate the option to choose between diesel or gas, and the 17,000 BTU capacity keeps my van perfectly warm.

This heating system has transformed my van into a cozy oasis. The Smart Touchscreen Thermostat Control is so user-friendly, and I love how efficient the system is with fuel consumption.
