Erberspacher is still under warranty until April have booked it in for a check as I have to take it that the only time I trip out is when the 230 heating is on would you agree.

Well an Airtronic D4 has 1.4kW mains heating, A2 1kw, so switch that off and plug in a portable 2kW heater in the van and see what happens.

Fixing things may require professionals, but anyone can do an awful lot of legwork to pin down the fault with confidence first. If things are solid with high wattage devices but consistently trip out with just the Eberspacher heater, then yes, either it or its connections to the van are suspect.

Dave,
Thanks for that already do use a 2kw heater in the van when parked on the drive no problem so may be the van heater.

Took Van to Erbaspacher dealer today. He rings me around lunchtime to report no tripping out. Asked him to plug my site cable in not his extension lead result tripped out after a few minutes.Problem with your cable mate. Asked him to run another orange extension cable tripped out.Two faulty cables I doubt it. He is contacting Erbaspacher tomorrow. I am sure I remember reading on here where somebody else had a electrical problem with one.

Just reading through my old Posts and realised I did not finalise this which I know in some cases quite rightly annoys people who have attempted to help.
I went to the Repairers to collect the Van back, they informed me they had not found the fault but on using my other cable it had not tripped over a set period. They accepted though they could not say they had repaired it and so if the fault returned they would examine it again without the warranty.
Obviously this was spring time come October when I came to use the heating you've guessed it TRIP. Contacted them informed, Oh no we can't look at that under warranty it has been too long. Surprised
