Here is everything you need to do for a hot shower in your Road House:
- For hot water, the water heater must be turned on. For this we need gas.
- Open the gas bottle.
- Then additionally turn on the safety lever for hot water (water tap + heating symbol). This is located behind the cover next to the back seat:
- Check via the on-board display whether you have enough fresh water in the water tank. For an extensive shower, we recommend a fill level of 50%:
- The boiler must be filled with water. To do this, run the water briefly and turn the tap to hot.
- Then go to the Truma display above the sliding door and follow 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.
It takes about 20 minutes for the water to heat up.
To prepare for the shower, connect the shower curtain to the knobs at the top of the bathroom. These should cover the walls of the toilet while you shower.
Watch it in the video:
Outdoor shower
You can use the shower from the bathroom as an outdoor shower. To do this, open the window above the sink, pull off the shower head and carefully let it hang out of the window. In the bathroom you will find an additional bracket that you can attach outside to hold the shower while you remove the sand from your feet.
Troubleshooting
If there is a fault or the water does not get warm, try the following:
- Check to see if gas is generally flowing.
- Make sure that the shut-off valve for the boiler (see above) is open.
- If you have forgotten to open the gas bottle or the stopcock before switching on the on-board display, this error must be cleared on the Truma control unit:
Common errors on the Truma display:
E517H // E507H // E516H: The error code appears when the gas supply is interrupted. Turn off the system, turn on the gas, press the black button to confirm that the error has been acknowledged. You may need to reset the appliance and start the process again.
W412H: The error appears when a window is open. This activates the safety pin to prevent exhaust gases from the heater entering the vehicle interior. To allow the exhaust gases to flow again, close the window.
W418H // W411H // W303H // E654H // E566H: The error code appears if the voltage of the camping battery is insufficient.
Check the battery capacity on your on-board display. If the value is below 12.3 V (50%), the battery must be charged before starting the heater.
Repeated unsuccessful restarts of the Truma unit can cause the heater to block.
Reset:
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.
