i have just brought a 2003 kontiki 665 motorhome, but now i have it home i cant get the heater to work, i have checked all the fuses they are all fine plus no gas is coming in to motorhome, pipe and gas adapter fine, help required urgently please
I'm a complete newby to all of this, so here goes!!
I've recently purchased a 2007 Kontiki 665P, & I have the same problem. It has a Truma, underbed heater/water heater.
The first weekend, we were able to get the water heater to work on the mains hook-up, but couldn't get the heater to work.
Since then I have managed to get the blower to work, but no heat. Tried it on gas, with the same result
Hopefully, it's nothing too serious??
Can't understand why they make the controls sooooo complicated. I'm used to yachts, where you have a bank of switches for each item that you need to power up! Simples!!
It still takes me about 3 or 4 attempts just to get the light to work!!
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
Hi and welcome.first question, did you buy it from a dealer,have you spoken to them, as this could well be a warranty problem if there is a fault. we would not want to invalidate this by suggesting various ideas.

Chris, Where are you in Dorset? What is the model of heater fitted? It is possible that you have a C Series heater which has got gas/electric water heating but only Gas space heating. Ray
Thanks you, Cabby, Grizzly, & RayC for your replies,
I live near Wimborne in Dorset, & bought the vehicle from a private seller in Scotland ...... Yes, I know, I have "Mug" tatooed on my head!!
I think I have been "stitched up". When I arrived, there was no gas, no electric hook-up, & no water, for me to check the operation of any of the on board equipment, & although I did check the documentation, I did miss that it had not had it's annual habitation survey, & the page in the manual to do with the heater was missing What a surprise??? The vehicle does, otherwise appear to be in excellent condition, but "who knows"??
On further checking of the documentation, I found some handwritten notes to do with the fuses on the heating system!
The heater is a TRUMA C 6002 EH. In the literature it states that it should operate on 12V, 230V, or gas, or a combination of them.
Maybe this will help someone else considering buying privately, to NOT make the same mistakes!!
Best wishes

Chris, I live in Corfe Mullen and would be happy to come and have a look at it for you - not saying I am an expert but I know how it works. PM me with a contact number if you want me to. Can you confirm that with the power source selector set to 1.8kw electric, the other knob set to air heating only and the thermostat to 9 that the fan does not start to run and after time for the elements to heat up warm air? See the attached doc for controls. Ray
Just a thought, you say that no gas is coming into the Motorhome, is it a blue butane bottle you have? if so it is unlikely to work in the present subzero temperatures.
