Truma heating on hookup

[two]

A Truma system is lighter, so more suited to those vans with lesser payloads, and warms the air space up faster than Alde. Another advantage of Truma is that you can direct the heat to a particular area (eg shower) when you want to. A disadvantage is that the installer ought to be placing the boiler in the centre of the van and ensure that the back-pressure on all (four, I think) tubes exiting the boiler is the same. If not, the air will go down the easiest one rather than the others. I guess that those that heat poorly have not had such thought put into the design of their distribution systems.

My previous Truma was 2002 and worked well, so I’m not sure that the more recent technology has advanced its ability to heat evenly much. I’d prefer Alde if I could afford the weight penalty, but I’m happy with the Truma installed in mine (so far).

Sounds like you may have set it to mix fuel rather than just electric.

It probably won't keep the van warm enough just on electric with current temperatures.
Electric is only a max of 1.8kw compared to gas of wither 4kw or 6kw depending on model.

No, if.you have switched it to electric (full electric only ) it won't be using gas.
YOu can also tell as electric heating isn't as good as gas...BUT......JUST to be sure as I can't see your dial etc...

You can always check by turning your gas bottles off, the fridge should be on electric too anyway.

If the heat stays on your good.

Although fridges don't use loads on gas, make sure it too has switched itself to electric (if on automatic) or switch it manually.
Every little helps
