Soooo....we're currently staying away in the van and tonight is foreast to be -3 where we are but the electric heater appears to have packed in....any ideas?

The relay clicks when it's turned on and the panel has power as the green light is on but no heat. It wasn't working when we first arrived but then seemed to start working so I just assumed that I did something stupid. However, it is completely dead now.

Can get heating on gas fine but would prefer not to run the gas all night.

Thanks in advance

In the last few years I have repaired my and the brother in laws Truma Ultraheat.As stated above the relays on the circuit board are of poor quality and often burn out.In both cases I changed the pcb’s for ones with beefier relays from a supplier on ebay.As yours is still under warranty I would let them sort it for you.

Good luck.

Hi, I realise this is an old post, but I wonder if you can point me in the right direction to repair my ultraheat controller

Mine is doing just as you describe, it switches on and works for a short while but the slightest disturbance makes it click off.

It does this on all 3 heat settings.

At £95 for a new one, I am happy to have a go at a repair as I'm not bad with a soldering iron.

Cheers Kevin.

Good heavens, haven’t caravans become needlessly complicated. A fan heater from Amazon will do the job for not much more than £10.

If it’s that cheap it will probably also do a good job of setting your van ablaze if knocked over.🤔
