Product Description

The Swiss Luxx Compact Heater 1200w brings versatile warmth to your caravan or motorhome adventures with switchable power settings of 800w or 1200w. This clever PTC ceramic heater uses efficient ceramic heating technology to create a cosy atmosphere in small spaces whilst working beautifully with campsite electrical hookups. The compact dimensions make it perfect for caravans, motorhomes, campervans, and awnings where every bit of space counts.

PTC ceramic heaters warm up more quickly than traditional fan heaters and keep temperatures lovely and consistent through self-regulating ceramic elements. The Swiss Luxx Compact Heater comes with excellent safety features, including overheat protection and a tip-over cut-out switch that automatically shuts off power if the unit gets knocked over, giving you peace of mind. The 800w setting is ideal for smaller caravans or when you're sharing your hookup capacity with other appliances, whilst the 1200w setting delivers stronger warmth for those chillier evenings.

The heater runs on standard 220-240v mains electricity you'll find at most UK campsites. PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) ceramic technology means the heating elements cleverly self-regulate their temperature, providing efficient warmth throughout your space whilst being safer than older heating methods. The compact design sits neatly on caravan surfaces without taking up precious floor space, and the unit's external surfaces stay cool to the touch during operation for added safety.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does PTC ceramic heating work in the Swiss Luxx Compact Heater?

PTC stands for Positive Temperature Coefficient, which uses clever ceramic heating elements that self-regulate their temperature. As the ceramic discs warm up, their electrical resistance increases automatically, keeping everything at just the right temperature whilst maintaining lovely consistent warmth. This brilliant technology heats up more quickly than traditional fan heaters and provides wonderfully even heat distribution throughout your caravan or motorhome without you needing to adjust anything manually.

Will the 1200w setting work on a 10 amp campsite hookup?

On a 10 amp hookup at 230v, you have 2300 watts available for your adventures. The Swiss Luxx at 1200w uses approximately 5.2 amps, leaving a handy 4.8 amps for your other essentials like lights, water pumps, and phone chargers. If you'd like to run a kettle or other appliances at the same time, simply switch to the convenient 800w setting which draws around 3.5 amps. Most UK campsites provide generous 16 amp hookups where the 1200w setting runs beautifully alongside your standard caravan appliances.

What happens if the heater gets knocked over in the caravan?

The Swiss Luxx Compact Heater includes a clever safety tip-over cut-out switch that automatically disconnects the power supply if the unit is tilted or knocked over, giving you excellent peace of mind. This protects your flooring, bedding, and other materials from the heating element. Once you return the heater to its upright position, you can simply restart it as normal. This thoughtful feature is especially handy in caravans and motorhomes where space is cosy and accidental bumps can happen.

When should I use 800w instead of 1200w?

The versatile 800w setting is perfect when heating smaller caravans under 5 metres, during milder weather, or when you'd like to run other electrical appliances at the same time on your hookup. The 800w setting also works beautifully for keeping your space cosy once your caravan has already warmed up nicely. Switch to 1200w for quicker initial heating in larger caravans, chillier conditions, or when you have higher amperage available. The efficient 800w setting uses 33 percent less electricity than 1200w, helping you save on metered hookups whilst still keeping comfortable.

Are PTC ceramic heaters more energy efficient than standard fan heaters?

PTC ceramic heaters operate at an impressive 90 percent efficiency compared to standard fan heaters at 80 to 85 percent efficiency. The Swiss Luxx Compact Heater warms up around 40 percent faster than traditional heaters because the ceramic elements reach operating temperature within minutes. PTC technology also cleverly draws full power initially then automatically reduces consumption as your ideal temperature is reached, making it wonderfully economical for extended use in caravans. The self-regulating nature means you're using energy more efficiently throughout your stay.

Can I safely leave the Swiss Luxx heater running overnight?

Ceramic heaters with overheat protection and tip-over cut-out features work beautifully overnight when you follow simple precautions. Place the Swiss Luxx on a stable surface away from bedding, curtains, and anything flammable. Keep it at least one metre from combustible materials and position it where it won't be knocked over during the night for complete peace of mind. The overheat protection will automatically look after things if internal temperatures get too high. For overnight comfort, the 800w setting provides lovely warmth whilst drawing less power than the 1200w setting.
