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 turn on the safety lever for hot water (tap + heating symbol). This is located in the drawer in the kitchen:
- 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:
The boiler is operated with diesel.
Make sure that the diesel tank is sufficiently full
- Go to the large on-board computer above the sliding door and press “INSTALLATION”.
- Switch on the hot water boiler and select the temperature:
- You can use the “Energy selection” option to select how your heating system is operated.
Diesel: Only diesel is used as the energy source for operating the heating system.
Electricity: Only electricity is used as the energy source for operating the heating system.
Both: Both diesel and electricity are used as energy sources for operating the heating system.
Electrical settings: Here you can set the power consumption of the heating system via the wattage. Example:
Energy selection: Both (diesel and electricity are used)
Electrical settings: 900W (900W electricity is used + diesel)
1800W (1800W electricity + some diesel)Thepower consumption when using electricity only is very high and should only be used when shore power is available. - If there are problems with the large on-board computer, there is a Truma device in the cupboard above the driver's seat which can also be used to operate the heating.
- 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 a bracket that you can attach outside to hold the shower while you remove the sand from your feet.
The Hymer Ayers Rock with the large on-board computer also has an outdoor shower in the rear!
Troubleshooting
If there is a fault or the water does not get warm, try the following:
- Check that gas is generally flowing.
- Make sure the stopcock 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 fault must be cleared at 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.
