Hi, We have a 2001 Autocruise Stargazer fitted with a Truma Ultrastore gas only operation water heater. Last weekend it started doing something odd. We had used it to heat water one morning as usual then switched it off. Later in the day we noticed that the water was still very hot but the heater was not switched on. We tried switching it on then off again and this seemed to turn the heater off ok. Dodgy switch no doubt. That night we were woken by that sort of low humming-type sound you get when water is beginning to warm up or a fan is running, but the heater was not switched on. Another symptom of a dodgy switch maybe. Anyway, to play safe we turned the gas off. However, on seemingly random occasions we could still hear the low humming sound coming from the heater as if it was switching on and off but without the clicking sound you usually get. We have been told there isn't a fan in this heater and without gas getting to the heater it shouldn't be doing anything presumably. We can't fathom out what is going on. We called into our local service place on the way home but they seem befuddled by it too. Does anyone have any idea what could be happening and is it dangerous? Also, on the same day our kitchen tap started to leak badly. Can't imagine that the two problems are linked but have no idea really.
