I can't say for sure as it's still quite a new van to us but my suspicion will be that running it on gas will certainly provide enough heat at the back but then be too hot at the front. The issue isn't that I can't heat the back bedroom up enough, I can already do that just on electric. The...

This is an option but one I'd like to avoid if I can. It's just more weight and another thing to pack plus takes part of my ampage allowance on-site. I'm not yet ready to admit defeat either so I'm going to try the insulation of the ducting approach and play about with it a bit when I go away...
