Choice of location
Always install the appliance in such a way that it is easily
accessible for service work at all times and can be easily re-
moved and installed.
Locate the heater in such a way that the cowl can be
mounted on the outside on a surface which is as straight and
smooth as possible.
This outside surface must be exposed to wind from all direc-
tions and, if possible, there should be no trim strips or covers in
this area, mount heater on an appropriate base, if necessary.
Fig. H
The wall cowl must be attached so that no tank supports or
tank ventilation openings are found within 500 mm (R). In ad-
dition, no air discharge apertures for the living area or window
openings may be located with 300 mm (R) of it.
When fitting the cowl within the marked area below or
next to a window that must be open, an electrical win-
dow switch (part no. 34000-85800) must be installed. The gas
unit must automatically switch itself off using the Truma auto-
matic shut-off facility if the window is opened (Accessories,
part no. 70020-00800).
Installation of the water heater
Position template for cowl opening on the inside of the wall.
A = bottom edge of heater
B = lateral edge of heater
Drill 4 holes (C) with 10 mm dia. through the wall. Drill hole (E)
with 15 mm dia. for condensation pipe (also possible from the
outside = F).
Position template on the outside of the wall. The markings (C)
must be above the through-holes. Saw cut-out section for
cowl (D) 92 x 168 mm.
If the distance between outside wall and heater is more than
35 mm you must use the cowl extension VBO 2 (part no.
70131-00) with an additional length of 50 mm. Saw out
100 x 176 mm along the dashed line.
If there are any cavities in the area of the cowl (fig. A: 1), pack
these with pieces of wood so as to be able to tighten the screws.
Cut out trim strips or such on the vehicle or place supports
beneath them so as to make the cowl lie flat.
Place a support beneath the heater if the walls are sloping. An
angle of inclination of 10 degrees is not to be exceeded.
Fig. A
Insert heater with cowl body (3) through the cowl opening (1),
allow approx. 5 mm to project out of the wall. Mount sealing
frame (4 – the anti-torsion device ensures correct fitting!).
Pre-drill holes for the 6 fastening bolts (5).
Remove sealing frame (4) and coat with plastic sealant on the
side facing the vehicle – do not use silicone!
The sealing frame must be well sealed with respect to
the front sides and the cross bars of the cowl part (3) as
well as towards the outside wall!
Fasten sealing frame (4) to the cowl part using 4 selfcutting
screws (7 – torque 3.5 Nm).
Seal the gap between the hole (2) and the condensation
tube (10) with plastic sealant – do not use silicone!
Mount the grille (8). Press the entire cowl assembly onto the
vehicle wall and fasten with 6 screws (5).
Screw the boiler securely to the floor of the vehicle with
at least two shackle plates (11) with the screws provided,
B 5.5 x 25, on a suitable base (plywood panel, laminated
wood strips, or metal base).
