Hi all, the van is away back to the dealer so i shall keep you posted! The dealer said that some of them heaters have a safety cut out if the heater heats up to much but i find that hard to believe! Is that not what a thermostat is all about!!!

Hi and thanks for the info. Our heater when on the 2ooo at home is tripping the switch. The heater stays on for close to an hour but then trips off. We only bought the van 2 days ago so it is going back to the dealer on tue but i just wanted a bit more info myself as to what could be happening.

Hi could someone please explain to me what the different power settings relating to the truma room heater actually mean? I am refering to the 500 1000 2000 settings. I have another post on at present regarding problems with my truma room heater tripping out while on the 2000 setting. Do these...

Hi ray, I tried what you suggested and the van didnt trip on the 500 or the 1000 setting but after moving it up to the 2000 setting after some time it did trip again. I am wondering does this mean that even if we were to leave the heater at the 1000 setting and run say the water heater and...

Hi i havent tried doing that. I am somewhat of a novice in all this. Is the rcd the main fuse box which is under my front seat with all the various fuses in it for aux and sockets and all that? The one that is throwing the trip is the one in the cupboard which has only i think 3 switches on it...

Hi, we have just bought a compass Connoisseur 556 year 2007 and with the colder weather we have been linking it to the mains at the house and putting the truma heater on. We came back out to the van later on expecting to find a nice warm van only to find that the heater was off. We checked the...

Hi, thanks for all the advice. We went looking at vans today again and decided on a different one! The dealer was prepared to sort the crack and stuff but me being the worrier that i am i would not have been happy!! Ended up buying a lovely 2007 compass 556.

Hi i am thinking of buying a caravan but on closer inspection i noticed that at the front of it up above the window there is crack in the bodywork. It looks like something sharp has hit it. The dealer selling it said this will be put right before its sold but i am wondering would i be wise going...

Hi martin24, Thanks for your input. I think you are right i didnt think of the inbetween times before bed! We have looked at the bailey version of your caravan and the elddis 556. It is so hard to know which is the best layout for us as i was originally thinking 5 berth or 6 berth like yours...

Hi all, We are currently looking into a changing our caravan and i am wondering if anyone with a fixed bed 4 berth van could tell me if this layout would be suitable and practical for our family of 2 adults and 2 kids aged 3 and 4. I have spoken to a few people who regard this layout as best...

Hi, thanks for all the replies everyone. I left the van back to the dealer we bought it off and they pulled out the whole toilet unit and cud find nothing wrong with it and were close to giving up when they tried the shower and there was water leaking from it towards the toilet! I have filled...

i recently went to look at a caravan with a wet room bathroom and the door into the bathroom was not shutting properly. The seller told me it was the cold air in the winter that does this and that it would go back to normal size with a little heat. Is this likely? It was a compass omega 556 year...

Thank you all for your replies and i will indeed look into those vans. I really want this next change we make to be the last for a while! I was interested also in the avante 556 fixed bunk layout also.

thanks for replying to me. I must have a look at the van you are talking about. Thank you for your advice.

I currently own a bailey pageant champagne 2007 s6 and while its a great van i am considering changing for a different layout. It has a large washroom to the rear and is 4 berth. We have 2 kids aged 3 and 4 and are considering changing to something which gives a bit more living/sleeping space...
