To have a hot shower in the Couple Cottage, follow these steps:
- Switch on the Camper Unit and check the water level. We recommend approx. 50% for an extensive shower:
- The boiler and heating are controlled via the Truma unit. The Truma unit is fuelled with diesel. The tank must be at least 1/3 full.
- The boiler must be filled with water. To do this, turn the tap to "warm" and let the water run briefly (approx. 2 minutes). Switch on the boiler with these steps on the Truma display:
- 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.
- Carefully remove the wooden board at the bottom of the shower so that it does not get wet.
- Carefully pull the hose out of the tap and attach it to the shower rail.
Make sure that you always spread out the shower curtain carefully - otherwise the bathroom could be damaged by the water. Allow it to dry thoroughly before storing it away again. - After the shower, carefully guide the shower hose back into the tap.

Outdoor shower
The camper does not have a separate outdoor shower. But you can lead the shower hose outside through the bathroom window if you want to shower outside.
Troubleshooting
If the heater is not working, check the Truma display for error codes. The most common is:
W412H: The error occurs when a window is opened. This activates the safety pin, which 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 device cancelled 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.
