[@MacSarah]

Hi both! Just found this video while trying to figure out this particular dilemma! Thank you so much for explaining how to use the vent function, we were baffled 😂

Legend for this video, I couldn’t find the reason it wouldn’t come off ‘OFF’

[@Goldenretrieverandacampervan]

Thank you so much for this we had no idea about this feature, it made such a difference last night 👍🏻

[@farniecopson]

The heating! This was where I was going wrong. 😅 Thank you for this. My son sleeps in a drop down over the front seats and it’s often extremely hot up there even on cool nights. I’m hoping this will help

[@Rockdadify]

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Rockdadify, Yep, it was a bit of a struggle trying to sort it out but when we managed to do it we really wanted to share it 👍🏻 Delighted you found it useful, thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.

[@NigelDownes-jv1go]

Thank you for this, but I wish I'd seen it at the start of the summer ! Keep up the good work.

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Nigel, Sorry about that 😆 It took us a while to figure it out ourselves. Glad you’ve found it useful 👍🏻 Thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.

[@T101cyberdynesystems]

I've used this vent mode, mainly when I've just arrived on a site, and your sweating having set up the caravan and put the awning up! Otherwise it's next to useless if you want hot water as you already pointed out.

[@keithandmichele]

Totally agree Gareth. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas. Sending our best wishes, Keith & Michele

[@T101cyberdynesystems]

@@keithandmichele and a Merry Christmas and Happy New year to you both, all the best Gareth 👍

Another great informative video from you both 👍

[@keithandmichele]

Morning Bren & Jules, Many thanks for your kind words 😀 Have a great weekend 👍🏻 Keith & Michele.

[@greglewis8843]

Looks a good feature I just open some windows have Aldi boiler thanks for the demo

[@keithandmichele]

LOL 😀 That’s one way to cool down Greg 👍🏻 Thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.

[@ShouldIstayorshouldItownow]

I wish you’d done this a couple of months ago 😂. I managed to switch it on once but couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t do it again before realising I needed to switch the hot water off 🙄. Great advice thank you for sharing both.

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Stuart & Rebecca, Yes, this was a bit of a conundrum, took us a while to work it out! Thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.

[@frazzzz1066]

Delighted you’ve found it useful Stuart, thanks for watching 👍🏻 Keith & Michele.

[@garethshaw5210]

Another great video guys!! We love this feature in our van. We use it all the time in warmer weather!! 👍☀️🌞

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Gareth, Many thanks for your lovely comments, it’s great to have this system in these warm conditions we’re experiencing 😎 Thanks for watching 👍🏻 Keith & Michele.

[@gracebarrable535]

Another fab video! Keep them coming 👍🏻😀

[@keithandmichele]

Thanks for your continued support Grace 👍🏻 Delighted you’re enjoying our videos, Keith & Michele.

[@malcolmqua9226]

Yep. Found the blowing of the hot air from water in boiler frustrating. Wanted to keep air moving when dog was in the van but was too warm for too long.

[@keithandmichele]

Thanks for watching Malcolm, best wishes, Keith & Michele.

[@lesleygray4357]

Thank you didnt realise the hot water had to be turned off too. Thought I had afault.

[@keithandmichele]

Many thanks for watching Lesley, we’re delighted you found our video helpful. Sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele.

[@jackmillin]

Good video 👍 The whale space heater has a very similar feature in our Bailey Orion you can have that on fan only but as it's a separate system to the Truma water water you can have the water on as well still.

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Jack, Thanks for your comment, it does seem a bit crazy that we have to turn the hot water off to use the vent system 🤔 Sounds like your Whale system has got it right 👍🏻 Thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.

[@janpetersen8794]

Truma airvent doesn't take air from outside, it just circulate the hot air inside the caravan, right? I'm thinking of getting and AC unit or an omnivent.

[@keithandmichele]

Hi Jan, You are correct, it doesn’t take air from outside, it takes cooler air from inside the lower part of the caravan & circulates it throughout. An omnivent would be better as it draws out the warm air as it rises to the top of the caravan. Obviously an AC unit is the most effective option but these do come with a high price tag. Hope this helps, best wishes, Keith & Michele.

[@johnarmstrong7501]

Thought this was an option to vent the system not the caravan. As in.. once you’ve finished with heating your water then to cool the heater (not the water) down quickly you vent the system. Correct me if I’m wrong...

[@keithandmichele]

Hi John, As we understand it, the vent facility is used to circulate cool air evenly throughout the caravan during hot conditions. Thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.

[@johnarmstrong7501]

Carefree Caravanning on another note.. may I ask... I have a brand new caravan. When heating the water or caravan using the Truma combi.. is it normal for the exhaust fumes to smell burnt.? Thanks in advance, John

[@keithandmichele]

Hi John, We’ve never experienced the smell of burning when using Truma heating. It could be something as simple as dust that has accumulated on the internal heating element which should burn off after a short time. If this continues we would strongly advise contacting your dealership to get it investigated.

[@1000andygray]

Run the hot water out before using the vent function , then your not waiting the 20 mins or so with warm air

[@MrJona7han]

If you turn the hot water off then turn on the hot water taps it will be replaced with cold water and then cold air 😊

[@keithandmichele]

Superb advice Jonathan 👍🏻 Thanks for that, we’ll do that in future. Thanks for watching, Keith & Michele.

[@RhJWales]

And this 🎉
