Replace the heater

[RV homeless]

My last RV air parking heater went on strike this winter, so I bought a new combination heater like Truma from a company in China that I thought was pretty good. But I don't know how to install the combi heater safely and correctly. Therefor, I'm really hoping some RV lovers can offer me some advice or RV owners who have installed similar machines to discuss with me. grateful

Welcome to the forum and hope we can be of some help.

There are a few videos on YouTube on installing both the Truma and the Chinese copies.









This guy has done a series of videos on his installation in his RV.
Here are a couple to start and he has a more continuing his install if you click through to hid YouTube channel.

Thank you for your reply, I will refer to these videos and try to install. My question is do I need to buy an extra battery to support the operation of the machine?

I'm not personally familiar with the combi heaters, but going by the fact that they are a common fitment by motorhome manufacturers on this side of the pond, then I would say that worries on battery draw from the combi is not a concern as most US RV's tend to have far larger battery banks than UK and European motorhomes.
