We are new to Motorhomes,still in our first year.
Our Trauma heating was fine initially,but just over the last few weeks when using it there is an odd smell.
It's an acrid/chemical type smell and appears on both water heating only or heating only. We do have a CO detector and that hasn't been triggered.
We are going for our first Hab Check in two weeks.
Any thoughts?

Getting better month by month.
This is very common in truma heaters. You will probably find it is worse on ehu and water only. There are many threads on this and if you contact truma their pat answer is that when on water only the heater element is working much higher temps. No need to worry. (y)

Since 2008 & many years tugging
Can get smelly if too many heating outlets are closed you must have at least 3 open. Also check all 4 outlet pipes where they connect to the heater, manufacturers often don't do a very good job of fitting them you may find one detached then the area around the heater gets too hot and causes the heater to get too hot.
