The outside shower is located at the back right of the boot. To turn it on, plug in the shower hose and flick the little switch. You can adjust the temperature with the wheel next to the switch.
Troubleshooting
If the heater does not work, check the Truma unit for error codes. The most common is:
W412H: The error occurs when a window is opened. This activates the safety pin that prevents exhaust gases from the heater from entering the vehicle interior. For it to work again, the window must be closed and the error in the unit cleared by resetting the warning.
You found the cause of the error and fixed it? Great! Some errors disappear by themselves.
Others need to be confirmed by navigating to the black button to the exclamation mark (by turning the black button):
Now press the black button to confirm the error. The symbol should now disappear and the heater can be put back into operation using the familiar steps.
Resetting the Truma unit after an error/warning message. Only ONCE!!!
In some cases, it helps to manually reset the Truma. Try this only once – if you repeatedly reset it without eliminating the cause, the entire system can be permanently disabled.
