🚿 Warm water and shower - Camper Castle (Knaus Sky Wave)

Here are all the steps you need to take for a warm shower in your Camper Castle:

Hot Water 

  • For hot water, the water boiler must be turned on. We need gas for this.
  • Open the gas bottle
  • Then additionally turn on the safety lever for hot water (Boiler-Symbol=vertical). The lever is located behind a door in the kitchen block, next to the sink:

  • Check via the onboard display if 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. For this, turn on the water pump, let the water run briefly, and turn the faucet to hot.
  • Then go to the Truma display above the sliding door and follow these steps:
  1. To activate the screen, press the black button briefly.
  2. Turn the black button clockwise until you see the symbol with a thermometer under water blinking:
  3. Click on the black button to confirm.
  4. The text "OFF" will appear. Turn the wheel clockwise to select select the mode: ECO (40℃), HOT (60℃) or BOOST.
  5. Once you find the desired mode, press the button to select.
  6. The main menu will appear again and the boiler should be working.
  7. Wait about 20 minutes until the water in the boiler is hot.

Convert to Shower

  • To prepare the shower, move the tap at the sink to the side. Release the safety lever that holds the sink and mirror in place, and slide the entire wall towards the toilet:_0012_20211214MST_0310.jpg
  •  Secure the wall with the magnetic panels so that you have more space to shower and no water gets on the wood:20211214MST_0333.JPG

Troubleshooting

If an error occurs or the water does not get warm, try the following:

  • Check if gas is generally flowing.
  • Make sure the shut-off valve for the boiler (see above) is open.
  • If you forgot to open the gas bottle or the shut-off valve before turning on the onboard 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.

If another error code is displayed, please contact us so that we can help you further.

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.
