This is the Truma Combi Heating controls in my 2006 Hymer B514 but similar controls have been used for many years and continue to be so. There are two dials, the dial on the left represents the power - either gas or electric. Please remember that the electric must come from shore power! Electric power is available in 900W or 1,800W and can be combined with gas when greater power is needed - for example coming into the van on a particularly cold day. The right hand dial is the selection switch - either hot water or hot water and heating or just heating. Within that dial is a second dial whereby we can adjust the temperature in the motorhome. This is indicated by numbers rather than degrees as the temperature will depend on the ambient outside temperature.
I live in a motorhome full time and travel around Europe in it. I spend most of my time in Poland, Germany and Italy. Vanlife is my life.
In my RU-vid channel, I present reviews of recreational vehicles. Here you will find campervans and motorhomes from the cheapest camper vans to the most expensive luxury liners, from various companies including Hobby, Hymer, Carthago, Westfalia, Wingamm, La Strada, Frankia, Wavecamper, Maurer, Dreamer, Itineo, Rapido, Clever Vans, Pössl, Bürstner, Niesmann Bischoff, Action Mobil, Reisemobil Manufaktur, Robeta, Trigano, Challenger, EuraMobil, Karmann Mobil, Laika, Forster, Mobilvetta Design, Affinity, Globe Traveller, Benimar, Roller Team, Adria, Bocklet, Woelcke,Tourne, Megamobil, VW, Mercedes, CS, Renault, Ford, Fiat, Carado, Sunlight, Baileys, Chausson, Balcamp, Knaus, Weinsberg, Murvi, Bliss, Mitsubishi, Woelcke, Reisemobile Bürow, Holzmobil, Giotti Line, Florium, Fleurette, Ahorn, Westfalia, Space Camper, Orange Work, Concorde, Womondo, Protec, Auto Sleeper, Dethleffs, Ilusion, Gehocab, Malibu, Pilote, Wild Ax, Vantage, Bresler, Tom's Fahrzeugtechnik, Morelo, Swift, Carado and others.
I do this by regularly attending trade events such as CMT Stuttgart, Abenteuer und Allrad, Caravan Salon Dusseldorf, Warsaw Caravan and Camping Show and sometimes others.
I cover equipment, including 12v electrical equipment and talk a lot about lithium batteries.
I also show some of the places I have visited in Europe in my own motorhome, as well as the places you can stay at! I try to give as much coverage as I can to official campsites and free places which I use for overnighting. Therefore you can find here the aire or stellplatz that you are possibly looking for.

That’s good for certain models that have this. But if I were to have this, I need to make sure to put little information/instructions about it. As back up.

Do you have to turn off the Truma system each time after using hot water (summer mode)? Or will it intelligently trickle little bits of gas to keep the water heat on standby? Fantastic video. This helped me a lot to at least understand the basics of what it all means and does. :)

There is not a stand by as there is with a gas boiler and a pilot light. You have to leave it on to keep it on stand by - but it goes off once the temperature reaches 40C!

@@VanlifewithAlan Thank you so much. Yeah I noticed that. For some reason, I had 60 seconds of hot water during my first shower. I did wait for the orange light to turn off. Happened twice. Gave up and had a mildly cold quick shower. Had the power on 3. Heating on electricity. 40 degrees. More experimentation later. How long should I normally be able to shower warmly on average?

@@Ponyfox That is a mathematical question. If the boiler holds (for example) ten litres and is at 40C and the amient temperature is 20C then if you want a 30C shower then you will have twenty litres which if coming out at four litres a minute will give you five minutes! That is all theoretical of course - try not to use so much water in the shower unless you have access to it on a campsite or similar! I put the weakest pump I could find in my van just in case I am there with a person who is not as careful with water saving as I am! I would expect the boiler to heat up to maximum in no more than 20 minutes. I am sorry I cannot give you a concrete answer, but I do not know the specifications of your vehicle!

Thanks, very interesting. Different from Alde where there is no separate control for the boiler. You cannot get heating without heating the water in the boiler. Could you please show the controls for the second heater up front 🔥

I will do a video on that one Ted!

Thanks for the video. Tell me, now (2010/2023) it's different right? We have the thermostat with the temperature in degrees right?

I have not seen one in degrees Jose.

Unless it is the one with the black dial and the lights.
