Yippee, the best Video yet. Explains all aspects of the Truma Combi Boiler. No more time wasting and faffing around.…!! Far better than the Handover Demo we received. Can’t thank you enough……😀
Paul, first night in the new van. Freezing until we found your video. Straightforward and simple explanation of the system. Many thanks, we're now toasty warm!
Just found this video, very useful and informative, I can now use My heating, will be warm through these horrible dark and damp winter nights now, this is the 1st time I've been able to use the heating properly, My dealer did give Me a run through, but not a very informative one, I'm a permanent caravan dweller (PCD) and need the heating for My dogs..Thank you.. Andy
Thank you. Our Freedom Jetstream comes with this control panel as standard. We were really lucky in that the Stafford dealer gave us a first rate run through on how it works. Your video was a really good refresher so thanks. 👍.
I used Reset to correct an issue with my heat and now have no icons at all except the clock and wrench on the bottom right. I have done some basic troubleshooting...turned off/on battery, on/off power, checked fuses , and still don't have my icons. Anyone have any advice?
I've returned to caravaning and have purchased a caravan with a Truma heating system. I tried to get the heater blowing hot hair through 240v supply. do i need to fill the water tank as all i was getting was cold air. The van is new so should be ok! Thanks G
Better controls than the old fasioned rocker switches and dial thermostat we have Paul. Can the room temperature be displayed permenant rather than the time? Cheers. Rob
Hello paul,I have a swift 622,when I hook it up to the electricity in my yard,I have it on electric 2,but are you saying it should be on mix 2,when on electric 2 and temperature 26 degrees it dosent warm the van up very much and the air coming out of the heating nozzles is not very powerful, please help😀
Thanks for the comment Leslie, Sorry TH-cam didn't send your commetn through till now. If you have it on electric only it's 2KW of power. If put it on mix 2 it's either 4KW or 6KW normally of power been added to the air. The other thing you have control of if it's like this panel here in the video is the speed of the fans. If it's on Eco or low then the power won't be great. The other thing to consider given it's a swift is that sometimes they decide to put heating pipes under the van. Now that isn't biggest issue in the summer but a huge issue in the winter as the pipes leak heat. So it could be that the pipe is runnign under van and losing heat. If it's still an issue might be a return to dealer if you can.
@@RollingwithTheRobsons thank you,much appreciated, I looked at the pipes and they seem to run inside the van,just behind all the wooden compartments, bye
Hi Chrissy, if the lights are the newer LED ones as opposed to the older lights they should run on the 12V battery. In terms of running a TV you need a 12V one that normally plugs into an old cigarette-style port. Now since they are running off battery need something to top the battery up. So you could if it's maybe for a weekend use the battery as long as don't have blown heating fan going maybe. Even better if you then add a solar panel to the roof that then charges the caravan battery. Worse case you could always hook up the car back to the van and run that to charge the caravan battery. Hope that helps.
My screen won’t turn on? I have the cable from this to the boiler connected. Do I need anything else? Does the screen need its own 12v feed or just from the boiler?
No you can heat water without heating van. Only thing is that the heater will still pump out some heat from it so if it's hot keep it off until you need it.
Hi John, Thanks for the comment. I will be honest and say I don't know. I am guessing not as the boiler will be different and think they use different cabling but can't be sure.

No bother. Glad it helped you out and you got it sorted.

No problem Tony. Glad it helped you odd and enjoy your new van and hope you make some great memories.

Thank you so much for your easy to understand tutorial. Haven't used the heater for years and it was doing our head in trying to work it out
😂
Glad it helped. A bit boring but it does show you how to operate it at least.
One of the best examples of a how to video
Thank you.

Glad it was of help. Hope you have fun in the JetStream.
The offset feature is very useful.
Thanks for the comment. Never used that to be fair. If ever get out will find out correct temp and adjust.
Great video, very helpful, shall be using what you have said today in our maiden voyage.
Hope you maiden voyage goes well. Where you off to?
Well explained Paul think even a tech Numpty like me could use it 👍
Thanks for the kind comment Colin. Just thought might be useful for beginners.
Great video! Thanks
No bother. Glad it helped you out and you got it sorted.
Thanks for sharing

No shouldn’t need to fill up water tank heating should still work with it empty.

Thanks for the comment Rob. That’s a good question I actually don’t know the answer but will get back to you.
Great tutorial. One question, can I use the heater without setting up the water? Thanks
Yes you can use the heating without sorting the water out.
Great help
Glad it helped.

what is the best way to run the lights/tv etc if you are off grid and dont have a hook up to electricity ?
Hi Chrissy, if the lights are the newer LED ones as opposed to the older lights they should run on the 12V battery. In terms of running a TV you need a 12V one that normally plugs into an old cigarette-style port. Now since they are running off battery need something to top the battery up.

Nice instructions on how to operate the heating system but nothing on how to turn it off. Obvious it may seem to some, but I have no idea on how to,
You hold the button down for a few seconds then it turns off.
Paul what is fault code e525h
we have just set our truma up but have no gas or water yet. can we just heat the van (from electric) without doing damage to the boiler?
If it's the model shown that should be fine as long as it's a newer model.
My screen won’t turn on? I have the cable from this to the boiler connected. Do I need anything else? Does the screen need its own 12v feed or just from the boiler?
Sorry just seen this not sure. I would guess if you already disconnected the battery completely and still being a pain it could need a new screen.
Nice one 👍
Do you need to have the heating on for the hot water to work?
No you can heat water without heating van. Only thing is that the heater will still pump out some heat from it so if it's hot keep it off until you need it.
Do know if the blower will run on cool air? Or just for heat?
The flower will pump air around without heat. Obviously if it's hot outside won't give you coold air inside if I am honest.
@@RollingwithTheRobsons ah cheers mate we are off to france next week so will give it a blast in the evening see if it helps. Cheers mate
Hope it goes well. We are very excited about going to France as well in middle of August.
can this panel replace the older cp-25 panel?
Hi John, Thanks for the comment. I will be honest and say I don't know. I am guessing not as the boiler will be different and think they use different cabling but can't be sure.
Thank you
You're welcome
Does Truma require to have the propane on or vehicle on? Can’t figure out how to use mine
Hi Erkia, most of this version of panel run on Propane or Butane gas or Electric(Hookup NOT 12V) to get it to work.
I have reset my settings and now it’s plain nothing on it to put heating on ?
What there is nothing on the screen? Assume van has power and main power switch is on ?
@@RollingwithTheRobsons no I can see the spanner for settings and the clock but absolutely nothing els ?
