The Truma is a good unit and heats quick but just pay attention to what they tell you about moving from gas to electric and vice versa.

It's quite temperamental and does throw up error codes quite a lot if you are switching between sources.

Heat, hot water and comfort are three things we value more and more as we get older

Money is a commodity which is less and less important as we get older

Do it JJ As after the first hot shower, stepping out into a toasty warm van will give you far more satisfaction than sitting cold, shivering and smelly looking at your bank balance with three grand more in it.

Some people know the cost of everything, the value of nothing!

Latest Update...

Just sent €3019.90 to the Man simply by pressing some "buttons" on my phone.

Normally 10 working days until he receives the heater...


JJ :cool:
You paid in full before he even starts, not good good financially.

Latest Update.

My brand new heater/boiler has been delivered to Camping-Technic in Silves and is due to be fitted on Tuesday Oct 22.

I was very surprised three days ago when the old system fired up again and I got hot water for a shower and the van was all cuddly warm.

For a little while I thought Sod's Law had fixed the old unit and the new one would be surplus to requirements but no, next day it refused to fire up again and hasn't worked since.

I am getting excited about the new boiler as it will work on electricity as well as gas and apparently can be controlled by an app on my phone whilst I am in bed.

Now that makes it worth the money in my book!

Had exactly the same job done earlier in the year at a cost of circa £2,000 (it was part of another job so can't be precise) albeit of course it was in the UK. Happy because I now have reliable heating.
Just a note JJ to use it with an app it needs an addon electric controller thingy which is very expensive (I didn't go for it!) - unless of course your system comes with it included in which case your costing looks about right.
