TRUMA MAKES HEATING + HOT WATER POSSIBLE IN VAN | Ep. 32

This week, Becca and her dad, Nick, start work on the hot water and heating system...the TRUMA 4e. This device runs off LPG gas, so it needs connecting to the gas system, the water system (both hot and cold pipes to the tap and shower), it also needs an exhaust fitted for the gas fumes to exit the van, and hot air vents placed and installed around the van. This is an extensive one and will be completed over a few episodes.
We also do a little more work on the shower.

[@paullawson718]

your dad is almost there to his relaxin chair in frontroom, looking out the window to a driveway without the van.😂😂😂. hats off to u both, u are nailing the build ❤

[@a_crafty_crafter]

Your doing so well. You have way overtaken my build.😊

[@user-ot1qk9hw7v]

Inspirational stuff! 🙂 I don't know if you've addressed these yet - or if the gas engineer will raise them - but it looks to me as though you'll need gas drop-out vents in the floor underneath all your gas pipe joins (Sorry, I haven't looked through your other videos yet - only just found your channel - loving the look of that shower!), and possibly a switch to ensure that you cannot run the Truma when the window is open ( I couldn't quite tell but it looks as though the exhaust vent is directly below the opening window higher up...?). Keep up the good work you two! 🙂

check out gilders paste ... it will reduce the brush strokes of the gold paint

[@myvanworld]

Thanks for the tip, but I like the brush strokes, makes it look like wood 🥰

[@Bracebarian]

[@myvanworld]

Yes! Thank you!

[@camperblackmagic7603]

Would the outside vent of been better on the other side of the van as it will get very hot when the boiler is working and with only a 20mm gap between it and the inside door covering could be a fire risk when the door is open.

[@mrcarl5481]

My truma used to switch itself off if the side door was open, was a prebuilt van and also had the door opening over the vent. So sure there could be a safety switch added to prevent that risk. I found it was very rare I had it on at same time door was open generally.

[@carlfraz1869]

Small observation - don’t shoot me!! The cold n hot shower ‘taps’ are opposite way round to the feed pipes on the rear!! Was that deliberate or has it now been sorted??

[@tonysutton6559]

Good decision to go with domestic shower fittings instead of specialist van ones, you've probably saved yourself a fortune. Still loving the sparkly blue shower cubicle.

[@travel-van-world6312]

Loverly 😎🌞

[@maxthedoomer]

Your old mans a ledge

[@johnbottomley9956]

Van is coming up lovely can I ask can you please advise me what the water pipes you used in your van like what all the system is called and where to buy please for when start our van

[@myvanworld]

Thank you. The pipes are all John Guest. I got everything you see from eBay. If you search for John guest water pipes you should find them easily 👍🏽

[@nealterry5]

When you've moved in I'm sure you'll work out the best way to reduce the amount of rain and mud you bring in. Maybe you could leave your shoes in.the step of the side load door?

[@tonysutton6559]

A £10 mat from Aldi or Lidl does the job. It will also help with cat paw marks and as it is loose fitting it's easy enough to take outside to shake clean. Mine also covers the bit of floor where I sit, it's amazing how much warmer it makes my feet feel in winter.

[@pageant1fd]

I have the same combi but installed an auto frost dump valve which can be manually operated too for drainage winterising. Are you fitting one ?

[@myvanworld]

Yes we already have, you’ll see it in the next video.

[@GenialHarryGrout]

A couple of minor points which you might have already dealt with. Have you installed or will be installing a carbon monoxide detector and secondly, something I would do, placing a sticker where you switch on the Truma to remind you to make sure there is water inside it before you switch on the hot water
