Help!? How do you get the Trueman space blower to run? Everything (heater wise) on-board works just fine, but for the life of me I cannot get the blower/fan to operate.  I've followed all instructions, no fuses are blown, all is clean but no fan! Any ideas people?  Thanks in advance.

Ideal. I eventually got an intermittent fault fixed, but next time I’d go straight to the Service HQ at Derby even though it’s nearly 300 miles away. Hopefully you didn’t get charged for the PCB? Replacing stuff to see what happens can get expensive!

No It was all done under warranty as the heater packed up on our first trip out in it to the  Broadway site which is close enough for us to pop home for an electric heater, a very wet and windy weekend so along with the heater the cap was missing from the toilet cassette and the when attempted to fit the storm guys to our brand new Kampa air awning the wrong clip had been fitted  Ah the joys of owing a caravan still you get to listen lots of crap music while hanging on the phone

It will depend on what the age of your motor caravan is? 

The trauma blown air on the water and heater combined unit are not that old and would show a fault code on the control panel ,if faulty and the heater would no work

Before such system the Truma heaters were mounted on normally on a panel under normally the wardrobe and the fan that fitted on the rear of the heater was quite often an extra 

What year is your M/caravan?

Is it the vent function you're looking for....ensure both heat ants water are OFF, should reveal VENT in the fan options.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this discussion. there are lots of points that I will take to the old brain workshop! 

To try to give an overall answer to the questions put: 

 

The unit is a 2007 model, as to which one? your guess is as good as mine as there are no markings anywhere to indicate!  I did get it working once but since then nothing.  All of the piping/tubing has been refurbished and fixed to allow good air supply.  If in the end the blower for the electric does not work we have gas and by jolly it gets hot!  Its just the air blowing around that makes the difference to either too hot or too cold!

Once again thank you.  We are out mid November so the temperature thing may work.

 

Happy holidays everyone
