Heat and Hot Water

[Innkeeper]

Going to try and stay put today.
So have give our selves the job of getting the hot water and heating going. Upto no been using pans for water and a plug in heater.
We know think there controlled from 2 points photos at the bottom we have manual for the screen one but not the dials one. Any have a link to a manual for this.
Or any idea how to get the heating working.
It a new van to us and hand over was rushed

if you google Truma combi controls, you will find loads of information regarding operation of truma boilers.
also some videos on youtube.
hope you get it sorted.
Good luck

Are you sure the manuals aren’t in their somewhere?

The two Truma controllers in the left picture are heating and hot water, somebody else will tell you how to set them as we have Alde, as a slight aside the CBE grey box below those two Truma's will be for a fridge fan in the top vent outside, the settings on the switch are Manual Auto and off the rotary set the switching point and the lights tell you green for standby amber for slow and red for fast.

Our last mh had some of the dials the same so I'll explain what I know
Top right dial is where you select your energy source, eg gas or electric
Actually scrap that, here is a great resource that Minxy Girl had uploaded to the resources, click on the link and select download to view the images

Just to add as well Innkeeper that the top dial which is numbered 1 - 9 ( the inner turn knob) is your heating Thermostat where you set the temperature of your heating, and I would suggest you turn it fully clockwise to start with untill you actually get the heating running, incase the temp inside the mh is more that the Thermostat is actually set to, which would stop the heating from working

Hope that helps

The inner dial with the numbers on in the top picture is only for the heating temperature

You may also have to switch the heating and/or hot water on at the control panel, although I don't see anything familiar there - our control panel is a Nordelectronica, a bit different to that one. Any LeVoyageur owners give him a clue?

The right/other photo was of the van control panel is what I was trying to say, yes both Truma dials are to do with it but I opted out as I don’t use that system.

Minxy Girl and Silver-Fox explanations of truma controls correct.

The lower control panel under the Truma ones, looks like ours which came with the fridge vent fans. Settings, M -manual I.e. ON
A - automatic, turns on fans when temperature sensor, which should be fitted near the cooling fins, reaches 30°C
Central position, fans OFF.
