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 ;)
Im really glad you fixed the fault. That's the plan is to save everyone money. I've noticed everything to do with a caravan Is ££££ EXPENSIVE £££ & very little videos out there but if you got a little confidence you can do anything.. well done you keep subscribing for a lot more hint & tips
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!!
Just bought a motor home and plugged into electric Fan blows cold air not hot and water is cold any chance you can help fix it for me thanks Darren from York
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
Hi thanks for the video. Mine is making a buzzing noise when I set the thermostat to around 20, and it's not heating up at all. Should I remove the gas part of it as per your video? Thanks.
I honestly don’t know, if you’re unsure then get a professional to look as it’s very dangerous. Please be careful I wish I could help but unfortunately I don’t have my caravan anymore
Hi the fan is located behind the fire. If its not working I would try all your fuses first. But without seeing the fault I wouldn't know sorry. Best bet is to have it serviced. Its been a long time since I've done anything with a caravan lol thanks for watching 👀
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?
I honestly can’t remember, you should be able to switch between gas and electric on the knob I think or the switch on the wall it was a long time ago now lol
Just watched you explaining about fire. That sounds exactly my problem and I'm very handy and confident to repair myself. What seal do I need name for eBay. And to check mine has stopped working on turning the wall thermostat. A caravan repairer told me it's the temp control something ?? Would love to hear from you.
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...
Interesting video thanks I go a Truma s3002 the mechanics look the same although the controls look opposite. I’m pretty sure I’ve got problems with my thermocoupler have you done a video on replacing one. My heater is fitted in a Campervan. Cheers pete
My rod that goes down to ignite the gas( the one that makes the clicking noise i not attached to anything. Should it not be? Can you get me some sort of diagram that i can look at?
Good video - my ultraheat 230v Keeps tripping and now I get the green light but if I turn up heat - it trips . it has been tripping from time to time and completely at random. I guess i will try and replace thermostats as per your video. Where did you get them from
The switch on mine is broken where it goes in to ignite the heater. I can't tell if I'm missing any parts, or whether I can fix it myself. I can't find a diagram anywhere, please help!
Hi mine is a carver gas only 36000 I moved it( but not not completely) to grease the fan bearing which was squeaking, when i put it back it will not fire up, just clicks, there are no leaks and everything is tight, the instructions says sometimes you get air in the system but i tried for ages and nothing, gas to everything else is fine, can you help?
I have a truma 3002p igniter is working but I cannot get the gas to ignite. Last time I used the fire it lit fine when I tried it again shortly after the fire did not light but made a bang obviously build up of gas and it will not now run on gas works fine on electric please help Kind Regards Martyn
You might have a bit of dust covering the ignition apart from that I not entirely sure I'm sorry. If its gas then get it checked out by a professional better safe than sorry.
look at your gas knob on fire and if its near the 0 number move it up a little to the 10 number as it might be that as mine did the same and this cured it.
I do recommend you get a gas safety check by a competent engineer, gas safe registration doesn't come into it as it is a tourer and would require a gas safe certificate every time you changed the bottle there are different rules for tourers!
My heater doesn't work the pilot light is lighting but then going out the long thing coming off the ignition in side the heater as now broke off my heater hasn't worked since I've had the caravan any tips
Hi fellow Welshman.. great video.. just bought my first van but having a problem. Heater will run off gas and blowers work fine. Plugged into hookup I’m not getting a green light from thermostat switch / adjuster.. checked plug fuse and all fine 🤔 pls help
Lama 69 I’m getting the same issue. Find arcsystems.biz on the web and give him a ring. He’s really useful and suggests it could be an issue with the PCB. Haven’t got around to doing it yet but will be in touch with him when the time comes
The fan on our truma heater isn't working. The heater itself works but we don't get any heat through the blowers around the caravan. Any ideas please would be welcome. This is all new to us lol
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?
Hi, mine doesn't seem to he throwing enough gas heat out, I can see blue flame after its boosted but even on gas setting at its highest setting 10 not much heat at all, what could it be please?
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.
I'm glad I could help you out, That's why I love youtube
Cheers bud. You show me plenty to get on with the job. I hate wasting money on repairs that Ican do myself
Took your advice and fixed my fire. Saved me a fortune Thanks
Looks like this vid has given me something to think about to resolve issues with my heating system

hi. do you know how to remove the actual control knob for the electric as mine is faulty
Hey dude how do I get the motor out of fan as have it out but having trouble getting it off cheers
Brilliant video. I have mine in bits atm gonna bench test it as it keeps tripping after a while
Did you find out what was wrong? Ours trips after a short while on 1000 and 2000

Hi I've got a Truman s3002 heater on mine I'm not getting power to the thermo and on and off would you now where I start to look kind regards rob
Hi thanks for the video. Mine is making a buzzing noise when I set the thermostat to around 20, and it's not heating up at all. Should I remove the gas part of it as per your video? Thanks.
Only if you feel confident. . If not leave it to an expert
Our heater stopped working the light went out on the control switch and now blowing cold are do you think it's the thermostat?
I honestly don’t know, if you’re unsure then get a professional to look as it’s very dangerous. Please be careful I wish I could help but unfortunately I don’t have my caravan anymore
@lovely.lemonade the two thermostats needed to be replaced
My hearer won't start now .does it need a flnew Flint or a battery.its a old swift caravan.
Thank you so much for your information about the heating system
Where did you get the replacement elements?
Ebay I think can't remember it's been a while lol
Hi, do you know how to fix the fan for the blow heating, good work, very informative. cheers billy

The battery for the ignition is in the bottom front. In a black box
Can these heaters run with out gas
The one I had could run on both. It had an heater element at the back.
@@RevivingSalvage mine is the 5002 what was yours
I honestly can’t remember, you should be able to switch between gas and electric on the knob I think or the switch on the wall it was a long time ago now lol
Hey mate, I think mine has gone. It's sited in West Wales, would you fancy a hobble to fix it for me?
My heater blower is not working but the elements is chucking out heat any idea.
The gas heater is being used and still the initial ticking noise is still there, won't go away, any advice?
Just watched you explaining about fire.
That sounds exactly my problem and I'm very handy and confident to repair myself.
What seal do I need name for eBay.
And to check mine has stopped working on turning the wall thermostat.

that long wire on the right that attaches to the gas settings and ignition mine has come off so what does it fit on?
It goes back inside the button in the center. Follow video I think I show it
See this ruclips.net/video/w7EXxx8z2lI/видео.html
My rod that goes down to ignite the gas( the one that makes the clicking noise i not attached to anything. Should it not be? Can you get me some sort of diagram that i can look at?
My heater is gas and electric the heater part worked but not the fan now it has gone completely I’ve been quoted 350ish £ how can I check myself
Could you show us how to service a caravan heater

Ruthypie Twiglet check the earth cable not disconnected.
Hi, great vid, hoping it will work for me but how can you tell if the termostats have gone? also can you tell if its the element?
Normally the thermostat would be damaged in some way or very brittle
Many thanks for this helpful video. Can you tell me where you got the new thermostats from as I have exactly the same problem.
I bought them from ebay really cheap
Very informative - thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed 😉
I have a truma 3002p igniter is working but I cannot get the gas to ignite.

Is there any clicking when you try to ignite?
@@RevivingSalvage Hi the igniter is working and is new battery
You might have a bit of dust covering the ignition apart from that I not entirely sure I'm sorry. If its gas then get it checked out by a professional better safe than sorry.
@@RevivingSalvage hi I await your reply tomorrow Kind Regards
To test if it’s the electric element perform a continuity test on the element, to test thermostat use an ohm test
My truma 230v works on electric but the battery for gas ignition keeps clicking, any ideas please?
The ingniter might need new batteries or a clean
look at your gas knob on fire and if its near the 0 number move it up a little to the 10 number as it might be that as mine did the same and this cured it.
the gas switch as snapped on my fire..but i tried the electric heating but all i get is cold air..what maybe the problem?..🤷♂
I do recommend you get a gas safety check by a competent engineer, gas safe registration doesn't come into it as it is a tourer and would require a gas safe certificate every time you changed the bottle there are different rules for tourers!
I totally agree safety first 👍
thanks for the info love your accent
My heater doesn't work the pilot light is lighting but then going out the long thing coming off the ignition in side the heater as now broke off my heater hasn't worked since I've had the caravan any tips
Take it to a professional to get it checked out gas is very dangerous 😅 sorry Its been a long time since I touch a caravan lol
Very helpful
Glad it helped
My fire started making a clicking noise and would not heat up...any ideas ?
Probably The igniter or even the battery's might need replacing
@@RevivingSalvage oops i meant to say the clicking problem is on the electric use of the heater sorry.
@@Nittytash did you sort it. I'm trying to light mine , all I can hear is a clicking noise but will not fire up. Sometime the xlicking noise stops.
If you brake the fan switch board, just solder it and put some bi-component epoxy glue under it. It will be stronger than new one.

How in God's name do you get the cover back on ? Mine is hanging low and I've no idea why ...

They locate into cut outs at the bottom then clip in at the top.. they are flimsy though 👎🏽
