Truma Boiler

 ·  Posted: 16.03.2012  ·  #1
Truma Boiler fitted to my van, less than two years old. It worked ok when we first got it but now it just shows the red warning light when trying to use it on gas. Works perfectly on electric.

Needs serviced? anything else I could check?

Thanks

The first Question I always ask myself.
Is there enough Gas in the cylinder and is it turned on ?.

Went out to see if I could figure out what it was and of course it worked first time 🇧🇭

If it was of the level would that affect it?

if its really off level the safety device will stop the fridge firing up.

same as when you stop driving the auto changeover,if you have one, wont change to gas for about ten minutes, this is in case your on a garage forecourt fueling at the time !

Cheers.

It was the boiler/water heater thought not the fridge, does it also have the same safety device?
