ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ก.ค. 2024
- Almost the same as the Truma D6E The JP Combi 6KW Diesel Electric Air and Water heater has arrived, lets unbox it!
We ordered the unit from alibaba and it arrived in 10 days to our door in the UK. Total cost including shipping and taxes came to around £1150 which is less then half the price for similar Truma Combi D6E Diesel / Electric Air and Water heater.
Stay Tuned for future videos where we show exactly how we installed it, tapping into the diesel tank in the Citroen Relay and connecting up everything to get this unit (hopefully working!) in our camper van conversion.

I’m not sure it’s a “copy of the Truma”, I think the Truma is a rebranded JP (possibly with some improvements, a brand, warranty, etc). Great video! I’ve been down *exactly* the same thought process!
I think you are right, and it's something that I've been thinking about. Not sure which one is the original design / version, either way they are very similar spec wise. If the JP preforms well it's great value for money compared to the Truma. Hopefully we can get it up and running soon and we can do a proper review. Stay Tuned for the install and more build vids. Thanks for watching! 😎👍
@@CasLaz Ordered mine yesterday! Excited to receive it!
@@georgeboydratcliff1036 Awesome! Hope you get it as quick as we did! 😎👍
I recognise your location from another video, I’m just down the road! Drop me an email if you fancy meeting up to exchange ideas!
@@georgeboydratcliff1036 Awesome! Sure thing, we'd love to meet up :) Can't find your email but you can send us one to lazandcass@gmail.com
and we can get something organized! :)
I enjoyed your video guys. I bought one of these and I'm planning the install. Looking forward to seeing your progress.
Great video, enjoyed the update
Thanks for watching, electrics overview video should be out soon! Stay Tuned👍😎
Doing a great job those subs will soon be flying up 👍🏻
Great build series
Thanks! 👍😎
You crazy kids are smashing it. I love the cheaper alternative, what a great find. Fingers crossed it performs on par with the expensive truma version.
😄 🤣 Thanks ! Yup we hope it will work well too, we will find out soon! Stay tuned :))
Hi Laz and Cas, thank you for making this wonderful video about our JP Combi heater. We are glad that you are happy with the heater. This diesel combi heater has a PLATEAU function. I will send the manual of the digital controller to your email later.
About the installation and operation of the unit, you are welcome to contact us any time for any help. We are looking forward to your new videos soon.
Thank you! Look forward to installing the unit and getting everything up and running. Stay Tuned for more videos and we'll be in touch if we need any support! 😎
Look forward to your install video, I have the same heater but haven't got around to install yet.
Stay tuned! should be able to start installing it soon :) Thanks for watching!
I'm gobsmacked! Never heard of these before, I bought a Truma Combi 6E. I was initially sceptical, thinking it would be a cheap copy, and potentially a nightmare. But the more I look into it, it is the EXACT same unit, re-badged. In which case, it's an absolute bargain, and I wish I'd known about them and bought one! Well done.
We will find out once we get it up and running ! Hopefully we wont have issues and it will preform well, i see no reason why it wouldn't! Stay tuned for install video and testing ! Thanks for watching
Great bit of kit ,your build is coming along nicely
Hopefully it works well! Added your hydronic video link to description, remembered your fitting one too after we recorded !
@@CasLaz yeah what’s that about 😂
No worries thanks for the link
@@CasLaz just ordered our twin coil calorifier to hold the hot water reserve (22 litres) it’ll also heat out recycling shower
And it’s going to be modified to run on mains electric should we have mains hook up
@@Richbbieslifesadventures ooh that sounds good ! Excited to see how you do your setup !!
Looking forward to this. I got the same heater + the diesel cooktop, and it looks like my electric setup is the same as your's! I beefed up my inverter to the 3kw victron with the intention of going induction but have now gone for the JP diesel cooktop. Think I will try fit in a ninja oven to make use of all that power :)
Thats awesome! I was looking at the jp diesel cooktop, maybe I should look into it instead of induction tempting hmm. Did you go with it to save cost on battery ? How much AH you having ? Did you see our electric video? I go into a rundown of our setup there. Thanks for watching!
Ps I'm sure you'll find excuses to make use of the 3kva, good for future proofing for sure
@@CasLaz I went for the 200ah victron smart lithium, with the intention of doubling this up in a few months after I rob a few banks! haha
Saw your electric video yep! Will be following along, your build looks awesome, and I laughed at the single seat video! I've just got one and realised how hard they are to find, been looking since Feb too. Had to get a seat on it's own from one van and a base from the other. Will be using that vid for reference when I fit it next week! Cheers guys
Damn nice, yeah the victron batteries are too expensive! Sounds like you'll have an awesome setup too!
Haha yeah single seat was painful, I remember people saying they are hard to find but didn't realize how hard it is until we actually tried to buy one xD Glad you managed to find one (or hack it together from two lol) Good luck fitting it, hope our video helps, it's an easy job compared to everything else! 😎👍
I bought a very similar if not the same same unit from General components out of BC Canada. Installing it next week. Fingers crossed🤞
Ah awesome, haven't seen these General Components "Wolf series" before seems the same as JP or Truma D6E. May I ask how much was it? Thanks!
@@CasLaz the unit was $1965.00 US dollars. Question back to you, have you had a chance to use your unit in cold temps yet?
@@scottnormand5858 Ah so similar cost to what it is to import UK from China. Thanks for the info. Not yet! We are installing it this weekend so stay tuned for install video / review soon!
Installing mine beginning next week. Will keep you posted but I suspect it will do just fine😁
Hello guys. Amazing video with soo
much details. Thanks a lot for shared yours experience.
I have a question.All the time you like have hot water also you will have a hot air inside your van? I just try see if the temperature inside
my van is perfect and because I like have hot showe will imcrese alot the inside air temperature. :-)
Hey ! You can have hot water only without heating the van so it should be ok 👌 👍
Get another pick up pipe and fit it to the breather pipe of the diesel tank it's a lot easier, and doing that way you don't have to remove the whole sender unit, you only have to take out one screw and the breather pipe will pull out , there are a couple of videos on TH-cam showing you how to do it
Thanks for the Tip Nick! That's is the plan for tapping into the diesel tank found a few good videos !
You mean like this right?
th-cam.com/video/g2l_p6RTOoM/w-d-xo.html
@@CasLaz that's the one , or get another tank and run it on red diesel , that's only around 75p a litre
Do you know if spare parts are supported, can’t find any information on them?
Hi Simon, you can get in touch with them via email they are very helpful. They also have a facebook group. Hope this helps!
Hi really enjoyed your video I am looking at buying the same heater for my Citroen L3H3 which will be fully electric with no hook up. Can I ask two questions, have you run the water heat at 900W through your inverter yet and if so what was the result? The second question is as this is a 6kw model of heater do you think it is the right size for the van space or would a 4kw be better suited? Any advice or thoughts on this would be appreciated, thank you
Hi Scott ! Thanks for watching! We haven't installed the heater yet, so can't comment on that. We will be installing it soon so stay tuned for install and review video. Jp only does the diesel /electric combi in 6kw so we didn't have much choice. Its thermostatically controlled so as soon as the van is lets say 21 degrees it'll stop heating so not too worried about getting too hot. If there was a 4kw option I'm sure that would be plenty too in such a small space.
@@CasLaz hi guys thanks for the quick reply, keep up the good work 👍
@@scottford5870 No worries! Good luck with your conversion! Any other Qs fire away in the comments, I'll try my best to answer! 😎👍
Thanks for this is did you get on with it ? As I need to replace a. ! Truma C -603 -D that has just packed in .
Its performing great so far, tested air heating on diesel and 230v electric only, no issues at all. We have two other videos about the heater, install and first testing, check them out for more info !
Okay will do thanks again. Have you got a link where you purchased the heater at all ?
@@riversrock Yup all links are in the description of the video :) hope it helps!
Have you installed it yet as I am just about to buy something truma if so what your option
Hey, haven't installed it yet but I know a few guys who have and runs perfectly fine. The truma d6e is out of stock so not sure what the lead time on it is, also its too expensive. If you are having lpg then the truma 4e is pretty good. I know jp does a lpg version too so that might be slightly cheaper then the truma 4e.
Hi I would be grateful if you send me a link to purchase the heater.Cheers Simon
Hi Simon, there is a link in the video description, hope it helps!
Can the combi be installed vertically rather than on its side?
Hi John, thanks for watching!
I think so, I don't see why it wouldn't work in different orientations.
@@CasLaz …the reason I asked us that my original Truma Combi is installed vertically (like a drum) and takes up less floor space that way.
In fact it’s sited under the fixed corner bed. Keeps our feet nice and toasty during the colder weather.
@@Spacerunneruk1 Ah interesting, I haven't thought about installing it that way, I think it would work - One end it only has the air pipes exist so I guess if you put that at the bottom it shouldn't be a problem (the other end has a fan for cooling the unit so I guess having that end close to the floor wouldn't be good.)
For us it fits nicely under the front bench seat as shown in video.(mounting it like a barrel would make the bench too high)
Hey! It's been a year now. How is it? Would you still recommend it?
Hi! It's been preforming great from the limited testing, van is still not fully done. But it's done well every time we tested / used it. No issues at all.
@@CasLaz thank you!
Hi I’m looking at buying one of these. How is it? Any issues? Cheers
Hey, It's been all good no issues for last 2 years. I'd order some spares in case something goes wrong with it so you don't have to pay for delivery twice. Eg spare glow plugs etc.
I’ve already got one now lol didn’t order any spares unfortunately
Hi, please could you tell me if you are happy with this product ?
Hi, very happy with everything so far, we haven't got it up and running yet but delivery / support been great. Stay tuned for install and review video soon ! Thanks for watching
