• The motorhome can be heated with the help of several types of heaters, for example, autonomous or gas heaters. It is better to give preference to a gas cylinder, which can be used for cooking at the same time.
• An important point in the arrangement of a camper is the general ventilation system. An extractor hood must also be installed in the kitchen area above the stove.
