Please can you help just bought my pride and joy and am haveing problems to get the gas working to warm the water the stove and the fridge work great its just the truma heater and the hot water are failing.
the water heater with the gas on! sparks for 10 seconds then comes uo with the fail light and i have found a wire disconected at the back of the unit and more than likely this is the problem is an earth cable a major part in this??
Then the heating system too just sparks and sparks but doesnt ignite anyone some tips to these 2 problems??

As soon as I saw Kon-Tiki 640/6 I thought I must be able to help, but it seems you have a Truma Ultrastore fitted whereas I have a Carver Cascade in my Kon-Tiki.
The wire you found disconnected sounds as though it might be the problem, wires are usually there to be connected to something!
Try www.truma.com they show an exploded view of your heater and it might give you an idea where your loose wire goes.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help, even in the summer you still need hot water. Hope you get it fixed soon.

Sorry, I forgot about your heater not igniting. I know it sounds obvious, but have you checked the individual gas isolating valves behind the bottom drawer next to the fridge.
The last owner might have turned one off. This happened when I first tried to use my cooker. Gas turned on, spark ignition working, nothing!
Took me ages to find the problem. I hope thats your solution.
Best of luck

Has it got a plastic cover on the outside wall covering the flue from the water heater, if so this should be removed.
There is a knack to getting it off.
If this isn't removed the gas will fail.
After a few failed attempts there can be a large enough gas build up for it blow the cover off when it ignites briefly.
