Your caravan is fitted with a Truma boiler hot water system. Please read the manual provided with this system at the
time of purchase. For further information go to https://www.truma.com/au/en/products/truma-hot-water-system/truma-
ultrarapid-hws.html
Your Truma Hot Water system control switch is located beneath the end of the bed left, of the entry door.
To watch the video tutorial on turning on the hot water system, scan the code with your smartphone.
Water Pumps
The pump when switched on is activated by the release of pressure at the tap and will pump water continuously until
the tap is turned off and pressure restored. Should the pumps activate while the taps is turned off this could indicate a
leak and require investigation and rectification.
Connecting the Gas
WARNING: Your caravan is fitted with a gas detector. Check operation of the gas detector each time you use
your caravan. Fig: 8
Your caravan is fitted with plumbed gas with the regulator and gas bottle placement at the front of the trailer. Always
ensure gas bottles are serviceable and within the 10-year service life. This information is stamped on the bottle base.
Once you connect your gas bottle you can connect the external BBQ gas hose to the bayonet connection provided.
Once the bayonet is secure, ensure all controls on the stove are in the “Off” position and then turn on the gas bottle
valve. When the burner ignites hold the button down for 5 seconds then release. NOTE: It will take up to a minute or
so for the gas to purge the line and flow through the burners.
Internal Kitchens and Hot Water Systems each have an isolation valve on their gas supply line. Ensure the
valve is turned on (handle running parallel to the gas line) when using these appliances.
The gas isolation valve for the internal cooktop and oven is situated in the cupboard beside the oven. Fig: 6
The gas isolation valve for the hot water system is situated beneath the forwardmost seat on the lounge area. Fig: 7
