  • What is an ALDE heater, and when is it used?
    The ALDE heater refers to the floor heating and hot water system found in Adria vehicle models.
    It circulates a heated liquid through the piping in the vehicle walls to warm up the interior.
    It is recommended because it provides a comfortable environment without drying out the air, especially during nighttime stays inside the vehicle.
    The heat source can be switched between LP gas and an external power source.

    The water tank has a capacity of 120 liters, so while it may not provide an abundant water supply, it is still available for use.
