To heat up the water and use the shower in the Liberty Lodge you need to:
- Switch on the propane first. The propane switch is located on the driver’s side on the bottom of the vehicle. It has a switch that can be flipped OFF and ON, if you switch it on normally it illuminates red.
- Check the fresh water level. There must be enough water in the tank (above 50% is recommended).
- Turn on the water pump on the main panel:
- The boiler must be filled with water. To do that, turn the tap to the hot setting and let the water run briefly.
- Turn on the boiler on the Truma display following these steps:
- To activate the screen, press the black button briefly.
- Turn the black button clockwise until you see the symbol with a thermometer under water blinking:
- Click on the black button to confirm.
- The text "OFF" will appear. Turn the wheel clockwise to select select the mode: ECO (40℃), HOT (60℃) or BOOST.
- Once you find the desired mode, press the button to select.
- The main menu will appear again and the boiler should be working.
- Wait about 20 minutes until the water in the boiler is hot.
- Wait about 20 minutes until the boiler is hot.
- Use the shower curtain to prevent any water damage to the van.
- Turn the silver pressure regulator knob to switch the pressure from the sink and onto the shower.
- When you are done using the shower, turn off the hot water heater the same way you turned it on.
- Turn the water pump off (if it is orange, it means it is on, if it is grey the water pump is off). It is always a good idea to turn the water pump off whenever you are not using the sinks or the shower. This way you prevent water damage.
