3 weeks into France trip and not a good start to the day.
At 3am woke to find the van cold and watched the temp drop. Error 517 on the Truma controller which is gas fault. Switched off and on, no help. Couldn’t understand as should have half a tank of LPG left. Shivered till the dog wanted out at 7.30 and found he’d been sick in the night on the door mat. Cleared that up and opened the door to take him out, forgot to unset the alarm, oops. Now everyone in the Aire was awake.
Now up I checked and I do have a half tank left, hob worked so switched Turma off and on again, and it worked this time. I can only think it was too cold last night for the LPG as it’s essentially butane.
I don’t want to carry a propane cylinder as I have refillable LPG. Anyone come across this issue and solved it? This is the first time it’s happened to me. I did wonder about a heated pad, like for a grey water tank, attached to the side of the Alugas bottle but not sure how safe that is. Not concerned about the power to the heated pad as I have loads with my lithium battery.
