Good morning Funsters
Parked up on a site late yesterday afternoon... and decided to hook-up.
EHU point is rated 10amp...
Switched controller over to Leccy two.. and put heater and water on (1800w I believe)..
Consequently the hookup tripped out..
Turned everything off - reset trip - put Truma heater back on at lower 800w setting - all seemed fine...
Then went out for night to watch a band... leaving heating and water on
Returned at about 11pm (slighly sloshed) so just hit the sack... can't say I noticed if it was cold in van ... but wasn't expecting it be partic toasty on low leccy setting in this weather...
Anyway, Got up this morn to a freezing Moho.. and no EHU.. it had tripped at some point tween going out and waking - I'd payed no attention when I returned last night so may been off then!..
This morn I set panel back to gas and put heating/water on - and reset trip to charge batteries...
I am yet to investigate why it hapened.. I know a failed Truma heating element can cause this.... I'm still running on gas as i type this...
However, I was wandering if there is some form of AUDIBLE alarm setup available for this scenario - like when the fridge bleeps if door is not fully closed..
If i'd been awake i'd have noticed fridge switching to gas (if nothing else) ... but when snoozing; need an alarm of some sort..
Edit: just checked EHU and it's only 6amp
