N/A | RCD/MCB keeps tripping out | Faulty appliance | Switch every appliance off, reset the circuit breakers, then switch appliances back on one at a time until the fault reappears - that identifies and isolates the faulty one. | DIY Safe |
N/A | RCD/MCB keeps tripping out | Overload on current consumption by appliance | 10A maximum available; do not use appliance | Professional Intervention Required |
N/A | Battery charger does not operate | Charger switched off | Switch on at control box/check MCB is on | DIY Safe |
N/A | No 230V output from the PSU | The lead linking the site supply to the vehicle isn't plugged in | Check the lead is connected properly - also check the socket where it plugs into the underside of the PSU. | DIY Safe |
N/A | No 230V output from the PSU | RCD switched off | Reset the RCD. | DIY Safe |
N/A | No 230V output from the PSU | RCD not operating correctly | Check the supply polarity; if the RCD keeps failing, contact your dealer, as there's likely an equipment or wiring fault. | DIY Check / Tech Fallback |
N/A | No 230V output from the PSU | MCB switched off | Reset the MCB by switching it off (down) then back on (up); if it keeps tripping, contact your dealer, as there's likely an equipment or wiring fault. | DIY Check / Tech Fallback |
N/A | No 230V output from the PSU | No or deficient supply from the site | Contact the site warden for assistance. | Professional Intervention Required |
N/A | No 230V output from the PSU | Some other fault | Contact your dealer. | Professional Intervention Required |
N/A | Reverse polarity warning light is illuminated on the PSU | — | This light is designed to catch a reversed/crossed live and neutral supply on UK-wired sites - if it comes on, suspect a fault with the site's own supply, or its connecting cable (outside the UK it can light up with no actual fault present, so check with the site warden). It can also light up quite normally when running from certain generators, since some centre-tap their earth connection rather than earthing the neutral directly, leaving both conductors roughly 110V above earth - usually still safe to keep using in that case, but check the generator's own handbook. | DIY Check / Tech Fallback |
N/A | Control panel has no display | — | Check the batteries, switch the charger on at the PSU, and confirm the mains supply is connected. Check the connecting lead at both the PSU and the control panel. If that doesn't resolve it, contact your dealer. | DIY Check / Tech Fallback |
N/A | 12V power switches itself off | — | This is usually the battery-save feature stepping in to protect the vehicle and/or leisure battery, or the engine having been started (in which case equipment gets disconnected automatically to meet EMC requirements). | DIY Safe |
N/A | Control panel display is corrupt or behaves erratically | — | The control panel's own software may have crashed. Reboot it either by switching off the PSU charger and pulling fuses 1 and 2 (the two 20A fuses covering the leisure and vehicle batteries), waiting 30 seconds, then refitting them and switching the charger back on - or by removing the control panel's bezel (pull down at the bottom centre), unplugging its multi-way connector, waiting 30 seconds, then reconnecting and reassembling. | DIY Safe |
N/A | Control panel contrast is poor | — | Remove the control panel as for a reboot, but leave it plugged in, then carefully adjust the small contrast preset on the back using a jeweller's screwdriver. | DIY Safe |
N/A | Control panel's current reading is incorrect | — | Recalibrate the current sensor: with the charger switched off and the panel powered down (no LEDs lit), scroll the display to the battery current reading, then hold the select (left arrow) button until 'calibrating...' appears - keep holding until the reading reappears, then release. Repeat the whole process once more to store the new setting. | DIY Safe |
N/A | No 12 volt output from the PSU | No 230V supply | Check the 230V supply first: the hook-up lead is plugged in at both ends, the RCD and MCB are both switched on (reset either one if it has tripped), and the site's own supply is actually live. | DIY Safe |
N/A | No 12 volt output from the PSU | Charger not switched on | Turn the charger switch on - it will illuminate when active. | DIY Safe |
N/A | No 12 volt output from the PSU | Battery not connected and/or not charged | Fit a charged battery. | DIY Safe |

N/A | No 12 volt output from the PSU | Battery flat, or its fuse blown | Recharge the battery, check the fuses, and confirm charging voltage is actually present at the battery. | DIY Safe |
N/A | No 12 volt output from the PSU | A fuse has blown | Make sure none of the fuses have blown and each one matches the rating shown on the fuse table. | DIY Safe |
N/A | No 12 volt output from the PSU | Equipment switched off or unplugged | Check the equipment itself is switched on and properly connected to the 12V supply. | DIY Safe |
N/A | No 12 volt output from the PSU | PSU has overheated and shut down automatically | Reduce the load on the system and let the PSU cool down - it will restart on its own once it has. | DIY Safe |

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use Ultraheat with older Truma S heaters like the Trumatic S 3002?
No - Ultraheat can't be used with any S-heater built before 04/2012, nor with the Trumatic S 3002, S 3002 P, S 5002, S 2200, S 55 T, or S 3002 K / S 5002 K.
Q: What fan setting should be used during electrical mode?
On electrical mode, run the fan at level 3 or above (manual or automatic) to spread warm air through the vehicle quickly and evenly.
Q: Can the Ultraheat be operated separately outside of a Truma S-heater?
No - Ultraheat (the electric additional heater) is only approved for fitting and running inside a compatible S-heater, never on its own or outside a vehicle.
Q: What power settings are available on the Ultraheat?
The additional heater features three operating power levels: 500 Watts, 1000 Watts, and 2000 Watts.
Q: Can the S-heater run on gas and the electric Ultraheat together?
Yes - the S-heater can run on gas while the electric additional heater runs too, though the additional heater may cut out on its own to guard against overheating.

N/A | The fridge fails to work using gas | Empty gas bottle or a closed LP gas valve. | Make sure the gas bottle is not empty. Make sure all LP gas valves are open. | DIY Safe |
N/A | The fridge does not work on 12V | No 12V supply, a blown fuse, or the 12V switch is off. | Check the 12V supply is connected to the refrigerator. Ensure the fuse on the 12V supply is intact. Check the 12V switch is on. | DIY Safe |
N/A | The fridge fails to work on 230V | No 230V supply or a blown fuse. | Check the 230V supply is connected to the fridge. Make sure the fuse is intact. | DIY Safe |
N/A | The fridge is not cold enough | Inadequate ventilation (partial blockage of the grilles), a frosted-up evaporator, incorrect temperature control setting, incorrect gas pressure, or ambient temperature too high. | Check ventilation passages/grilles are not blocked. Check the evaporator for frost build-up. Check the temperature control setting. Check the gas pressure regulator at the gas container. Be aware very high ambient temperatures can reduce cooling performance. | DIY Safe |

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I winterise the water system before storing the vehicle for winter?
Empty the water system completely: leave both the fresh and waste tank drain taps open, along with every internal tap, and keep the pump running until nothing more comes through. If you're expecting particularly hard frost, it's also worth taking out the water filter on the pump's outlet side and clearing it of water while you're at it - a handy moment to give it a clean before next season too.
Pull the sink plugs so air can get into the system, flush the waste tank thoroughly to shift any debris, finish with a mild disinfectant flush, and leave the drain tap open.

N/A | Concertina blind or flyscreen has become stiff and difficult to operate | The mechanism has dried out or picked up dust/grit over time - these units need only light, occasional lubrication. | Apply a light lubricant to the mechanism. Avoid cleaning solvents or aerosols on the blind material itself, as it's a paper-type fabric that these can damage.
