The systems I’m referring to do not have propane. They are common already on some motorhomes. They heat water with diesel fuel on diesel rigs and with gasoline fuel on gasoline rigs, and then use hot water for space heat.
Combining hot water and space heat through some form of hydronic system or heat exchanger has been around for a while with diesel, but now available for gasoline rigs too. I like the concept but would like to see more data on newer gasoline variants.
Below is one example from Truma. Note it can also power/heat from campground electricity when plugged in.
