    Thank you for this video! Can't even find this info on the Truma website! Wondering if you have ever had to unblock the condensation trap on this model? Have a couple installed on outdoor office spaces, not on a caravan and we're getting water pooling on the roof. I assume it's because it's not on a moving vehicle, so the water isn't running off during operation. Any tips for me? Thank you X

    • @discoveryadventures2296
      @discoveryadventures2296 26 дней назад

      @misskatoyaki4044 Hi, it's normal for water to run off of the roof. I suspect the issue is that you have a completely flat roof. Normally the water produced by the A/C unit would run off the back or front of the caravan. A/C units don't use condensation trays like fridges do as they produced too much water which is extracted from the atmosphere.

      @misskatoyaki4044 26 дней назад

      @@discoveryadventures2296 thanks for the reply! Yeah it's a totally flat roof. They're outdoor office spaces that are inside a warehouse so the sun doesn't evaporate it off. I'm the cleaner there so they've asked me to get to know the units as we move into summer and get the leaks again. Might have to reverse engineer a solution. Thanks again!

    I just changed the filters in mine. The filter is very flexible, so breaking it takes some serious mishandling. It cleans up very well with a soft toothbrush and mild dishwashing detergent. Rinse well after and they look like new. When putting back into the A/C unit, it's very difficult to get the filter properly placed in all the nooks and crannies; but with care and persistence, it's possible.

    We have recently purchased one of these canopies. We used it in April and like Steve's response we didn't use the loops on the side. I thought they were for when you rolled the side panels up. We did have a real issue with the 3 beams. They seemed as though were just a little too long to fit between the front beam and the caravan. Other than that, we are pleased with the canopy as we did have some rain and it with stood the couple of downpours and remained watertight. We are due to go away at the end of the month and will be using the canopy again so will try the loops this time.

We have ours inflated to 6.5 psi as it is currently quite warm ( Dorset/Hants border). Steve n Jeanette

    • @discoveryadventures2296
      @discoveryadventures2296 7 месяцев назад

      Hi, it very much depends on how often you use the A/C, the climate and how many inhabitants. Although we are in the UK we do use our caravan in the South of France where it can get very hot and dusty. We also have to long coated dogs which tend to collect a lot of dust in their coats. We also run an air purifier to extract dust from the air, which helps a lot.

    • @discoveryadventures2296
      @discoveryadventures2296 Год назад

    The manual says they're not cleanable which is a bunch of crap. They are ridiculously fragile. I can't imagine whose dumb idea it was to use a filter medium like this. They charge around $70 US for a replacement which is also exorbitant. I like the unit, but this is a major weakness in its design.

    • @discoveryadventures2296
      @discoveryadventures2296 Год назад

      Hi, thank you for your comment. Yes they are very fragile and I suspect that's why the manual states that they are not cleanable. However as demonstrated they can be cleaned, washed and reused if done carefully. Just be careful when they are loaded with water when washing as this is when they are most likely to break. Regards Peter.

      Hi, thank you for your comment about the video. I would take the car back and have the wheels rebalanced. I have now covered many thousands of miles on these tyres. I often drive on the Continent to the South of France and Spain on motorways and have never had any vibration so I would say its either balancing or a worn component on the car. Mostly likely balancing if the vibration was not there before. Regards Peter
