I have a Dethleffs Esprit 2011 T7090 Euro 5 motor home which I purchased new in December 2011. It is on the Fiat Ducato chassis.The vehicle has no spare tyre but came supplied with a ‘Fix and Go’ tyre inflation/repair unit.
I have now had three recent occasions of ‘inline fuses’ blowing when carrying out tyre checks whilst using the compressor side of the unit. For example I will have pumped two tyres then the pump stops and I find the dashboard cigarette lighter plug to which the compressor is connected – not working. On each occasion we have had to take the vehicle to a Fiat dealer where they have found an inline fuse, located somewhere under the bonnet has blown.
Our Dethleffs dealer has been very helpful, but even they are it seems unsure as to the cause and are now in contact with Dethleffs. In the meantime we have no ‘emergency’ tyre repair unit.
I am wondering if anybody has come across any similar occurrences in other motor homes and if so can help?
Thank you.
