Installation instructions Choice of location
Always install the appliance and its exhaust duct in such a
way that it is always easily accessible for service work and
can be removed and installed easily.
This appliance can be installed without any clearance to com-
bustible materials providing the surrounding materials will
withstand temperatures of up to 85 °C. The flue and warm air
ducts can also be installed without clearance providing only
Truma components supplied with the appliance are fitted.
Make sure that there is at least 10 mm clearance to com-
bustible materials around the warm air discharge vent and
500 mm in front of the vent. Locate the vent so that curtains,
bedding, etc. cannot be blown directly in front of or in contact
with the warm air vent.
Steps must be taken to ensure that the warm air outlet of the
heating system is never obstructed (see warm air distribution).
The installation space must have appropriate openings for the
circulating air return (see circulating air return).
Locate the heater in such a way that the cowl can be mount-
ed on the outside on a surface which is as straight and
smooth as possible.
For evenly distributed heating, the installation of the appliance
should be as much in the centre of the vehicle as possible,
and in such a way that the air distribution ducts can be routed
with approximately the same length.
The cowl must be placed in such a way that the exhaust gas
cannot find its way into the vehicle interior. The exhaust gas
cowl can only be installed through a vertical wall to the
outside, never through a horizontal surface.
The flue cowl must always vent to outdoors and
not into any annex or other enclosed area.
This outside surface must be exposed to wind from all
directions and, if possible, there should be no trim strips or
covers in this area, mount heater on an appropriate base,
if necessary.
The wall cowl is to be fitted in such a way that no tank nozzles
or tank ventilation apertures are located within 500 mm (R) of
it. In addition, no air discharge apertures for the living area or
window openings may be located with 300 mm of it.

If installing the cowl directly underneath a window
that will be opened, installation of an electric window
switch (part no. 34000-85800) is mandatory. The gas unit
must automatically switch itself off using the Truma automatic
shut-off facility if the window is opened (Accessories, part no.
39050-00800).
Refer to AS 5601/2004 – Gas Installations, for location re-
quirements of the flue terminal.
