Can anyone help me Please?I bought a 1992 Peugeot J5 Euromobil 540 4 berth last week and all the owners manuals are in German(which I don't understand) I can use all the interior appliences correctly(as I used to own a Fiat Ducato Highwayman and know how things work as they were fitted out with the same appliances) apart from the TRAUMA heater/boiler and desperately need some instructions or a users leaflet.There are 2 control boxes,1 with a 3 position switch and a temprature control for the boiler(I Think?) and another with a 2 position switch and a temprature dial for the water heater.Also there is a regulated control on the right hand side of the "gas fire" front that covers the boiler/heater(below the wardrobe at floor level).This system has got a hot water tank-not like my old Ascot style system.Can anyone help me please?Could somebody tell me how to use it in simple terms or does anybody have a spare English Eura Mobil owners manual-or one that they could photocopy and post,or scan and email to me please?Thanks a lot .Michael -The Animal Ambulance Man
Can't help with providing one, but if you can find the serial number somewhere, it might come up in a search
use maker+serial number+instructions and see if you can find one on line. A lot of the larger Hymer vans seem to have these, so maybe a Hymer owner will be along soon to help!
Thanks for your advice.I actually have a German EuraMobil "Owners Manual" that covers everything from the doors to the appliances and will probably just have to type it out(as printed in German)and then use Babelfish to translate it into English for me.The model is either a Truma 3002 or 5002 and I have seen them fitted in Hymers myself,so I can always stop off in Germany in February when I'm going to Slovakia on holiday in my campervan,for a verbal run through of the system.However I was hoping to get everything checked out and make certain that it's all running properly before setting off-especially as it's going to be cold and snowy,and onboard heating/hot water is going to be essential for me.Hopefully someone will have some instructions for the boiler/heater spare-if not i'll just make a pit stop enroute.Thanks again for your advice.Michael -The Animal Ambulance Man
Thanks for the manuals-slight problem as not the right one though.Having checked out the truma website I can now see how to use the boiler/fire-light and set thermostat that's on the case of the "Gas Fire"-but still don't know how to use the 2 control boxes that are on the wall about 1 metre away from the actual boiler.1 box is for the water and I guess is just for temperature and has an on/off switch ,but the other has a 3 position switch and a thermostat which is confusing me.I think that the switch has 3 positions-1 off 2 water only 3 water plus blown air heating? or is it 1 heat only 2 water 3 heat with fan?This is what I'm trying to find out.Any ideas please?Thanks in advance !!
A could you post on here or email me a picture of the switch ? Is the switch brown in colour , rectangular in shape and has a small 3 way rocker switch in the middle of it ?
Hi Wizard,there are 2 switches/control boxes,1 for water and one for boiler/heater.They are both brown and rectangular about 1/2 an inch deep and 4"x 4".Each has a round dial and a switch to the right of the dial.The heater/boiler one has a 3 position switch which I think is off when in the uppermost position?and hot water switch is only 2 position with the off being up?Any ideas?
I've managed to get the problem sorted ! I found a German painter who was working locally and for a 6 pack of beers translated the owners manal into English for me.I sat opposite him while he was supping the beers as he translated and I wrote notes as he dictated-I only bothered with the main bits of the manual and just covered the essentials,but it was good enough for me.Thanks to all of you who tried to help me out-it was much appreciated and I hope to be able to return the favour sometime or help someone else through another forum (maybe with help or information about bringing pets back home to the UK after being abroad).I'm sorted now and after a thorough service of my van will be off across Europe to Moscow early in 2008 to take donated supplies to an animal shelter there. Hoping everybody has a great Xmas and a brilliant New Year.
