    Thank you for posting this, it gave me the confidence to open up the heater and fix the problem. I refused to spend £60 on the kit someone was selling so managed to source the parts myself.

    Any advice please. I disconnected the electrical part on my heater and can not reconnect it. Your advice was to be very careful because replacement boards are £80-£90. The electrical connector will push in but isn’t connecting to anything and just falls out. What can I do?

    just checked mine. one crumbled when i took off. removed both off and clipped wires together to test and voila - its working! so i'm going to order the sensors to replace. thanks to Patrik also for his comment with the ebay item numbers ;)

    Thanks for the video, my truma s5000 works on gas but no longer on the electric so I bet it will be the thermostats you pointed out. We are away shortly so will us gas for the next two weeks and do a strip down in May. Bless you brother, phill

    Hi, when you had this problem with the thermostat did your ultraheat keep going off on the dial. My one is an older version than yours with the two separate dials and it turns on initially say to the 2kw setting then goes off when I adjust the temp then I can't get the dial to illuminate at any of the three power settings.

    The unit heats up fast and is super quiet. It looks fancy ruclips.net/user/postUgkxl8Od2BvnGbn1ffwqsuFXW0QnmcZgMiVY and can be kept in the living room. It gets hot within a split second of turning on the unit. The build quality is exceptionally good and is safe to be around kids and pets. This one is super quiet and can be kept on while in office meetings, my wife loved it. It shows the temperature right on the unit which is very useful and adding a rotating feature helps to heat up the surrounding, so other people will not fight with you for heat. It is right as described in the description..!! Definitely recommend!!

    Hey Attic Treasures, thanks for the video, I have a gas heater just like this one but with out all the electric components so i think mine must be older. i brought it from a guy who was seeling parts of an old caravan and i am about to install it in my van/ stealth camper conversion. i have decided to do away with the front cover and the fan system that moves the hot air around the camper becuase i only have to heat a small space.
    because of my limited space i am building cupboards around it. i can see that you have a similar arangment which is reasuring as i was curious wether or not it could be a hazard to have so much wood around the heater? what do you think? (ps i have covered all the wood imediately surrounding the heater in sheets of aluminium similar to the alu sheet here in your video.
    thanks

  • @writersblack5360
    @writersblack5360 5 лет назад +1

    My gas fire worked untill I had it gas tested, I turned it on and it worked fine but the flame turned off.... this must have been as a result of air being in the system, I have tried lighting it and holding the switch down but it no longer makes the clicking sound. I am convinced I have held down the switch long enough to let any trapped air through so I wondered if there is a battery systen somewhere that may have failed?

      Its been a long time since I repaired the heater. Try searching on Ebay for truma ultra heater flue seal its Normally red rubber ring and the same for the thermostat should be a very small circle ⚪. Give it a go & save the money but be very careful with the gas still get it checked out for leaks (pressure test) Normally on a service. Im glad i could inspire you to give it a try...

    Anybody!!...... desperately seeking help! I bought my first motorhome last winter. An old reasonably priced one that was in good technical condition, to find out if this way of traveling was anything for me.
    Now I am on a trip in northern Norway and here the summers are cold. Now I got problems with my trumatic s3002k from the year of 1994. A red warning light comes on after a short time, the fan reduces the speed and after a short time the heat turns off. The warning light is located on the underside of the front panel. The ignition is connected directly to the 12v battery bank.
    I can not figure out what the problem is. Can not find answers in the user manual.
    Is there anyone who can give me any advice?
