Controlling the heating system in your caravan can be very confusing, so when Whale set out to make a new heater they wanted to make it as easy to use as possible.

With the use of a touchscreen panel and intelligent wireless technology, they claim to have achieved just that with their new I Van system.

This simple panel allows you to control your water and space heaters in a straightforward and intuitive way, which will feel very familiar to smartphone users.

With features like frost control to help keep your caravan above freezing during the winter months, this new system looks set to be very popular when it is rolled out next year.

In this video, CaravanTimes meets the team at Whale to find out how they are pushing caravan technology to the next level.
