Anyone travelling with a motorhome knows the typical challenges: Get gas bottles, haul them, connect them - and hope they last until the end of the journey. With the Bürstner Papillon, this is a thing of the past. This innovative vehicle concept relies on a completely gas-free system that not only increases comfort, but also offers safety and flexibility during the journey.
What does "gas-free vehicle" mean in concrete terms?
- Heater via diesel: The powerful diesel heater provides pleasant warmth - regardless of outdoor temperatures and without the hassle of refilling gas.
- Cooking with induction: The induction hob is powered by shore power and offers fast, safe and clean cooking - without an open flame.
- Cooling with compressor: The optional compressor cooler is a compact solution with a capacity of 32 litres. It is operated flexibly via the onboard power supply or shore power and is perfect for transporting small supplies, drinks or snacks that need to be kept fresh while travelling.
Advantages for travellers
- More storage space: Without gas bottles, there is additional space for luggage or leisure equipment.
- Weniger Aufwand: No topping up, no changing - just drive off and enjoy.
- Sense of security: No gas pipes - a reassuring feeling on your journey.
- Efficient and sustainable: Diesel heaters are particularly efficient as they require less fuel to generate the same amount of heat. They use the existing fuel from the vehicle tank, eliminating the need for additional transport and changing gas bottles. Even though diesel emits more CO₂ per litre than gas during combustion, the overall balance can often be better due to the lower consumption and logistics savings. This is a practical and often more sustainable solution for frequent travellers and winter campers.
Freedom without compromise
The Bürstner Papillon shows what modern caravanning can look like: comfortable, safe and uncomplicated. Anyone who values innovative technology and stress-free journeys will find the gas-free concept a real asset.
💡 Our tip
If you travel frequently, even in winter, and value self-sufficiency and comfort, the diesel heater is the ideal choice. For occasional summer trips or if you already use a gas system, gas heating can still make sense.
