Ditch the Gas: Why a Gasless Campervan is Your Safest Bet

For decades, campervans have relied on gas for cooking. But what if we told you there was a safer, easier, and more modern way?

At Trekvana Campers, we're all about giving you peace of mind on the road. That's why we've made the decision to go completely gasless with all our campers. Instead of traditional gas hobs, we use clean and efficient induction hobs.

So, why make the switch?

Safety is Our #1 Priority

The biggest benefit of a gasless campervan is simple: safety. Gas systems can be tricky. There's always a risk of a leak, and a flame in a small, enclosed space can be a worry for many travellers, especially families. Induction hobs work differently. They don't use a flame at all. Instead, they use an electromagnetic field to heat up the cookware directly. This means there are no dangerous fumes, no open flame, and no need to worry about a carbon monoxide (although you should have a carbon monoxide alarm for exhaust fumes coming into the camper, portable gas stoves and diesel heaters etc). An induction hob gives you a safer environment and greater peace of mind, whether you're parked at a campsite or off the beaten path.

Easier to Use Than You Think

You might be used to cooking with gas, but you'll be amazed at how simple and effective induction hobs are. They are incredibly easy to use and are just like the cooktops many people have in their homes. They heat up much faster than gas, so you can boil water for your morning tea or cook a full meal in no time. Plus, they give you precise control over the temperature, making it simple to simmer a sauce or sear a steak to perfection. When you're done, the flat, smooth surface is incredibly easy to wipe clean—no more scrubbing greasy grates or trying to clean up spills around a burner.

More Space, Less Stress

A gasless camper also gives you more usable space. Gas systems require bulky gas bottles and a special sealed cupboard to store them in for safety. By removing the need for these, you free up valuable storage space inside your camper. That means more room for your gear, your food, or whatever else you want to bring on your adventures. With a gasless campervan, you can pack more and worry less.

A Modern and Eco-Conscious Choice

Choosing a gasless camper is a modern, efficient, and environmentally friendly choice. For many adventurers who care about leaving a lighter footprint, this is a major win.
