The OP asked about his Truma D6E This is from that very manufacture ? Surly they are right ? Again 25 Deg (not 15 Deg) as you constantly mistakenly quote 🤣 Best of luck with your other appliance

Hi John The OP asked about his Truma D6E , not Chinese rubbish 25 Deg the manufactures (for TrumaD6E) recommend is the optimal figure I will attach their recommendations for you again (between 15 to 35 Deg) If you wish to believe those on YouTube over what the manufacture of Truma D6E recommends for their product , that's your choice , but it would not be mine Look I am delighted your Chinese heater as you say worked so well for you for four years , Sure maybe these guys that make these expensive products and spend a lot of money on R&D no nothing at all and these guys on YouTube (not them all) know so much more , some with very little practical experience, only make sure you ring the bell and subscribe lol 🤣 There you go Best of luck Regards

Hi Max Yes using them often, is good for them , also if the unit is fitted to an independent secondary diesel tank that may not get used regularly to drain and re fill with fresh diesel, especially if the diesel is over 6 months to a year within the secondary tank (not your engine fuel diesel tank) So yes using them often is a very good practice keeps things lubricated and goes a long way to prevent things gumming up and extending the life of your appliance. Regards Brendan

Truma D6E ???? Hi all Rubbish , but then they are talking about Chinese rubbish and these Guys on many a YouTube think they know more than the manufactures of a good product. One does wonder what experience they really have when they actually recommend rubbish like that .But if you want to go and use with a cheap product , that's your choice Of course they are never to be found if it all goes wrong . .I think the manufactures of the Truma D6E (as the OP was asking about) know what is the best angle for their product as per attachment Regards

Hi Mike If at all possible replace like with like on your Truma D6E, stay away from the Chinese copies if at all possible. Regarding the angle I have given you re' the metering pump I can assure it is indeed within manufactures specifications and correct (15-35 Deg).Sorry my initial post should have read 15 - 35Deg. (typo) The 25Deg works very well and is within manufacture's spec' for the Truma D6E Best of luck with it today Regards Brendan

Hi Mike Yes this is a common issue with the diesel pumps if not fitted at the right angle of between 15 and 25 Deg' Sometimes the move , yes a new replacement pump at this stage may be a good investment I think the little metering pump is around £150 PRODUCT REF: 278609 TRUMA CODE : 34020/69600 Regards Brendan

Hi Mike Try these simple checks first Maybe condensation , sometimes also the flue facing into a strong wind outside (turn motorhome around and re try) Check all your inlets on the unit are free and clear. (Nothing blocking them ) Also check the angle of the metering pump is between 15 and 25 deg' delevery direction upwards Is there any fault codes and if so, what are they? What year is your Truama D6E

Hi It's good practice to always replace anything that touches the cambelt and of course any auxiliary belts/belts at the time of replacement at the same time . Why take a chance when doing the job and do it right Yes many will say ah I got away with it and the water pumps and Aux belts are ok and don't need to be changed. Just too difficult for some , again where are these people when it goes wrong? . All grand until one fails and it all goes wrong You were lucky Jeremy , it did not wreck engine. Glad it turned out OK Regards

Hi Is it rated at 10A ? Have a look at page 12 bottom right (PDU-Relays) 15 fuses. Regards

Hi Again be very careful of your measurements as I have mentioned earlier . No need for a platform Just use a timber prop 3x3 (or as you are using 3x2)Wide flat board under the bed unit and wide flat board on the floor under the wheels of the floor jack Regards

Hi Check you have all the relevant ecu updates carried out as well . This is very important Regards

Hi A lot of the bed area's are not in overhead walls , Important to use same thickness of board in that area Otherwise serious modifications would needed to be made to the bed unit Regards

Hi Well done Just be very careful you take all measurements across , Be very careful to use the same thickness of board on the wall if possible ,for easy refitting of the bed unit The use of a small four wheeled hydraulic floor jack under the raising and lowering support post will greatly help in re positioning the unit Regards

Hi OK , Try always to replace like with like if possible and the best quality you can get for the repair. I am sorry I cannot advise who in your area may have the materials you need , but I am sure some of the coachbuilders in your area may be able to advise if you are unsure Regards

Hi As you have removed the struts safely and locking bar and it looks like your determined to go ahead with removal , Make up an "expansion bar" from wood and spread the two walls slightly over the bed (as you would do when repairing a bodyshell of a car) Put short 4"x2" on each side of the walls to spread the load and to prevent damage to the walls on each side of the spreader beam timber or timbers Take careful measurements and don't overdo it. I am sorry i have not got the exact measurements to hand Undo bed completely and with the aid of a helper remove the unit with the spreader timber beam in place Be careful as it's heavy. Regards

Hi ColinM50 Yes Super-U Location do and are supposedly giving 70% off on booking for 2024 at present Also some small towns are doing cheap small car hire in the south of France I am informed by other club members at the moment How reliable they are is another issue , but I am sure they are ok . ELeclerc and Carrefour also do car hire also . Regards

Hi If you are unsure , I would advise contact a Rapido dealer for advice as it not a one person job as David has advised for safety alone Regards

Hi Always make sure who ever does your service, is capable of downloading any important updates (ecu software updates) for your vehicle You can always contact Fiat helpline direct 00 800 3428 00 00 02034508702 I am sure the will advise In the meantime maybe "Adiebt " will tells us what are his terms and conditions schedule as per Fiat and his dealer? Regards

Hi Maybe "Adiebt " will tells us what are his terms and conditions schedule as per Fiat and his dealer? Regards

Hi Derek Thanks for that . Someone surly will have to some agreement as to one for all Regards

Hi Keithl I have no idea , I would say some of those lettering would be changed with a black sharpie marker lol But the information coming back from members abroad is there should be one blind spot sticker and not this nonsense of a different one for every country , as Spain proposed lately What does others think here? Regards

Hi all Is this going to be the new international accepted E.U. blind spot sticker. Does anyone know? Regards

Hi All depends on the engine fitted, Have you a service history of the Motorhome in question ? Regards

Hi Well done , you need to be very careful of the seal and replace as soon as possible if it's damaged Regards

Hi You may need a frame and seal , There was a recall , i think for some years back , Maybe you could tell us the year of your motorhome and a photo or photos of the damage Regards
